I imported the photos from my iPhone to my desktop PC from different time and got some mess.

I find that the total size of a group of photos is NOT the same as that of another while they are all actually the same photos, without any rotation.

I've deleted all their EXIF but it does not give the same total size too.

For example, the same photo, (2,642,252 bytes) is the size of Photo A.jpg and (2,555,234 bytes) is also the size of Photo A.jpg imported at different time

They should be the identical files.

What is the reason for that?

Could importing photos from the same mobile phone to the same computer make a different size of file when they are imported at different time ??

In that case, does it cause any quality deterioration of the photo with lower file size?

If you're deleting EXIF information, you are changing the file size.

Do the photos actually look different from each other, when checking them on a big screen?
Could you upload a .zip of two "same" photos with different sizes?

One thing I know is that iCloud used to resize photos. If you're using that, that might be the reason.
