I have been trying to retain the geolocation metadata when importing JPEGs from iPhone to Lightroom Classic - but to no avail! I have tried several methods, including a direct import using a USB cable and transferring files to the PC (Windows Explorer still shows the geolocation. but it fails to transfer to Lightroom)
Are you referring to the GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) or the Sublocation / City / State / Country that is inferred from the GPS coordinates?
If it's the GPS coordinates that aren't getting imported with the photos, you may have a Metadata preset being applied that clears them. In the Import window, set Apply During Import > Metadata (in the right column) to None and try an import. If that works, then edit the preset that had been set and uncheck the box Camera Info > GPS.
