> While experimenting with a 3MB image with a resolution of 4032x3024 I noticed that uploading via a computer resulted in an image downsized to 1920x1440 but when I uploaded the same photo from the Photos app on an iPhone it was stored the image at 4032x3024.

When Discourse detects a large enough image it triggers [Client side image optimization enabled by default](https://meta.discourse.org/t/client-side-image-optimization-enabled-by-default/197617) to optimize the image on the user device before uploading it.

This works on every device, be it mobile or desktop, except for Apple mobile devices were a series of bugs in the only browser engine allowed made we disable this feature there.
