Aug 26, 2016 12:22 PM in response to Joshua Garrettby JimmyCMPIT,some formats do not keep that data (pretty much anything but JPG) or the phone was unable to determine it's location at the time the picture was taken or an option to not include the data though the software used to take the pictures turned it off.

It's possible but it's more likely they were taken in a location that couldn't be determined.
Yes location can be turned on and off for the camera. (settings > privacy > location services)

Aug 28, 2016 7:01 AM in response to Joshua Garrettby LarryHN,found the photos that I originally, manually exported and then imported into Photos, and they don't have GPS either. How could these photos have lost their GPS coordinates?
Obviously only you know what you did - my best guess is that you failed to include the location tags when you "manually exported" the photos - that is the most likely reason not to have it - only the metadata that you specifically specify is included in an export

I thought about that but I went back to the Aperture library and they have no GPS there as well. I highly doubt the iPhone 5s couldn't get coordinates in Phoenix but I'll check my wife's photos. Maybe I had the location turned off in privacy settings but I don't know why.
