Apple should really had a "strip metadata" option directly in the photos picker widget. It would work well with their privacy marketing.

It does, and location and captions are stripped by default using the system picker. It's the switches icon in the bottom left.

Doesn't strip all metadata, such as make/model, ISO, aperture etc.

No, but "photo taken on one of the most common phone models in existence" is not _especially_ identifying.

		I don't want people to know the precise date time of taking the photo. I don't want people to know whether I'm frugal and staying on iPhone 12 or I splurged and upgraded to iPhone 16 Pro. I don't want people to know the version of iOS I was running. I don't want people to know the name of the software that I used to adjust the curves and white balance.

FWIW I have a free app installed called iVerify that mostly just reminds me when a new iOS is released but recently I noticed they added a "Strip metadata from photo" feature to the sharing tray, so you can pipe a photo through it and then copy to another app.

		Is this only on iVerify EDR? I can’t seem to find it on the up-to-date basic version.
