Hello all,

When I checked the metadata of Iphone photos, I found that some Apple Tags(https://exiftool.org/TagNames/Apple.html) were not obtained. I would like to ask if these are no longer used, or is there are any other method to get them?

I used exiftool(-k -a -u -g1 -w txt).exe and the output is:

I don't understand.  You say "some Apple Tags were not obtained" but your output shows that the Apple tags were in fact extracted.

Can you be more specific about what was "not obtained"?

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Also, unknown tags are exactly that.  Unknown.  Apple doesn't document their purpose, at least not publicly, so there's no way of knowing if they've been depricated.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype
