Apple corrupted images on my iPhone where I can’t import them to my PC via photos, but I can backup the whole phone.

They finally recognized there is an issue, but there is no fix, as of a few weeks ago :(

Yeah, that's one of the billion reasons I'm sticking to Android phones with gasp file managers and shock expandable storage via an SD card slot.

I never need to import anything when I can simply copy the data from the card.

But files are hard, scary and dangerous! What if a scammer asks Grandma to open the files app or copy photos directly to her pc!?

I had a similar issue recently. I used the Windows Photo app to import & delete photos from my iPhone. When it finished, I realized that a significant fraction of the photos had been corrupted. Not sure where in the pipeline it happened, or if they were already corrupted on the phone.
