macos vs ios Photos App Difference

I just started with my first PRO iPhone (15 PRO) and have been playing a bit with HEIF/RAW/PRORAW to see if for my uses I "need" to deal with the large file sizes - especially the ProRAW ones. I notice in the Photos app on my iPhone and iPad that when I look at the information about a photo it gives the sensor size that was used for the shot (12MP, 24MP and 48MP) which is nice. But on the macOS Photos app that isn't given - all the other information (camera, lens, resolution dimensions, file size) is there and agrees with my iPhone, but not the sensor.

Anyone else notice this also? Thanks.

iMac 24″, macOS 14.0

Hi there swandy,


You should be able to see the camera settings for each photo on your Mac with the guidance below:


See details about a photo
While viewing a photo in the Photos app  on your Mac, do any of the following:
* View camera settings: Click the Info button  in the toolbar.
* View or add titles, captions, and keywords: Click the Info button  in the toolbar. See Add titles, captions, and more to photos in Photos on Mac.
* View more photos of people and pets in the photo: Scroll down to People & Pets to see the people and pets identified in the photo. Double-click a face to see other photos of that person. See Find and identify photos of people and pets.
* See where a photo was taken: Scroll down to Places. Click Nearby Photos to see other photos from nearby locations. See Find photos by location.
