Does Immich read real file names of photos from iOS Photos metadata? I don't even know whether Apple preserves it and exposes to other apps?
I used Ente and I learned all the files I had "added/uploaded" to iCloud photos had lost their real names (that I had painstakingly given them over the years/decades) when ente exported to those photos back on my laptop via their desktop app and were these long random uuid strings kinda names. That was my yikes moment and I was glad I had still kept my photos outside of iCloud and Ente. And it is not even Ente's fault. Apple does this skullbuggery.
Are there PAYG hosted instanes of Immich?
I used immich-go to upload photos from Google Photos and it worked great, I'm not sure how well that works with iCloud but it's at least a supported option (...although with a TODO next to it)

I was really surprised to learn that there aren't right now. It sounds like FUTO, the org behind Immich, is working on something like this but they haven't put out any real details so it's probably far off.
