Version: Lightroom 10.1.1

Platform: iPhone 16 Pro Max with iOS 18.2

Pictures taken with Lightroom Mobule iOS on the iPhone 16 Pro Max have just "iPhone" as model name in the meta data. Previous iPhone models such as iPhone 13 Pro had their exact model name embedded. This makes it really cumbersome to filter in certain parts of Lightroom. Please check the attached images. Note the generic "iPhone" model name for the iPhone 16 compared to the exact model name for the iPhone 13 Pro.

Thanks for looking into it.

It's easy to reproduce and a Lightroom Mobile bug for sure. Also I have the suspicion this has changed for all iPhone and iPad models since LR Mobile v10.

steps to reproduce:

- take a RAW picture with the LR cam in LR Mobile on iOS

- look at the metadata of the captured DNG

- model name is generic, e.g. iPhone or iPad and not the specific model, like iPhone 16 Pro Max etc

I am not sure if this is a Classic bug or iPhone/Mobile bug. I've logged an issue with the Classic team to investigate.

Thank you for the report!
