iPhone 8 - how do I maximize resolution?

I want many of my photos to be as high res as possible. It claims to be a 12Mpx, but the resolution seems to vary randomly. How do I choose the highest possible resolution?

Looking at my 6th gen iPad just now, there is no method to choose an image size.


High Efficiency or Most Compatible has nothing to do with pixel dimensions. That's just a choice between using the newer HEIF/HVEC compression formats, or the standard JPEG/H.264. The first of each is for still images, and the second for video.


Not having an iPhone 8 to look at, I don't know if there are further choices to choose an actual image size.
