Small photo files from iPhone 7 Plus

I noticed that most of the photos are less than 2 MB. The largest I've seen is 2.2MB. I would expect full resolution 12 megapixel photos to be much larger. Looking at the photos from a friend's Samsung Galaxy S6 most of the full resolution photos are 4-6 MB and some are even over 6 MB. Is it possible I have some setting misconfigured that is resulting in photos that aren't shot at maximum resolution?

I was expecting stellar photos but actually so far I'm unimpressed compared to the S6 photos which is a much older and cheaper phone.

Thanks.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 10.1.1, 128 GB

I'm having the same issue it's very upsetting. I saved up for many months and bought the 256 gig version of the iphone7+. I sell images and I wanted to shoot pics that I could sell on various stock photography platforms. My images baaaarely meet the 2 megabyte minimum, so I can't sell them for more than $5. Beautiful pics, not big enough. Super disappointed. I've tried everything, even downloading camera apps that can shoot raw to no avail. My girlfriend and I wanted to shoot some photo projects but I won't be able to with my iPhone.

It's just ok, you could even argue in some instances I phone 5 6 and seven can produce a better picture
