I use Syncthing to sync my jpg/xmp from local Digikam store to Android.

This issue appears to be a problem *only* for files that have originated from iPhone.
I'll never export to iPhone; I don't even typically import from them (these photos were from another user's iPhone).
So I'm happy to wipe all APple-specific data, as long as the EXIF/XMP creation dates stay intact.

Is there a Digikam tool/process for removing only that Apple data?
