Okay, WOW... this is fantastic! I'm so happy I'm not even going to grumble (much) about the 3+ years it took to fix this. Everything seems to work as expected now (testing on iPhone 16.4.1). 

I tested 3 formats (RAW/DNG, HEIC, JPG) at 2 different size settings (Actual size and Large). Here are my notes from the tests:

• EXIF data is always retained (camera settings and timestamps)!!!
• Filenames are always retained!!!
• Location data is always stripped out
• HEIC files are converted to JPG before uploading
• RAW files are uploaded as DNG

This is perfect and exactly how it should have always worked. I can finally recommend that users actually upload photos directly from their iPhones. 

(It would be nice to have an option to include location data, but I understand why it isn't included by default.)

A huge thank you to whoever fixed this. I'm so glad the filename issue was fixed as well as the EXIF data.
