The bug

When uploading files via Immich iOS the filesystem-level create-date and modified-date remain messy. In the screenshot below, the storage template extracts the correct Exif dates, while the filesystem dates do not match.

Image

There have been no edits whatsoever to the images on iOS. So it is completely unclear where the "14. December" is coming from, Immich was not even installed yet on that day.

This behaviour was reported in previous issues (#2581, #3900) and has been allegedly fixed with PR #7010. However, this issue persists.

Expected behaviour: the filesystem dates match the exif dates.
