Send Photos at Full Resolution

It’s great to be able to take photos with your iPhone and then instantly email them to friends and family. But be aware that there are things going on beneath the surface when you choose “Email Photo.”

Your iPhone actually reduces the quality of the image it sends, which gives the recipient faster downloading. If you want to send the full resolution image, tap and hold the image in the gallery to copy it. Then, you can paste it into an email at full res.
 
The tip is outdated.

On my iPhone 4, Mail asks to send full size or various smaller sizes. No need to copy from photos app.

Anyways you can confirm your myth? Send photos doing both way and compare resolutions.
 
My iPhone always gives me 3 or 4 different size options, one of which includes full size and resolution.

Myth huh.... Interesting word choice. Anyway, Anyone who has emailed a photo off the 4 knows that you always get size options before you send.
 
It seems like it's post-an-already-well-known-fact-about-the-iPhone recently here on the forums.

It's actually the same guy. Most people find a new-to-them feature and say, "oh that's cool." He makes a thread about it. :D
 
Did you know you can double-click the spacebar to insert a period and a space? So freaking cool!!!

Myth...Have you been hiding under a rock? However, if you prefer to keep doing it the hard way, have a ball.

Or he's still using an old OS.

His tip is correct for early 2010. Guess he never upgraded.
Yep...They also added the ability to select and email multiple photos without copying in the same iOS upgrade. What's funny about all this, is that you get the same popup, even if you copy and paste.:D
