I also suspect that there isn't an easy way to reduce the resolution that the default iPhone camera app takes photographs at (that I could find) because Apple wants them to be big so that you will need to buy cloud storage.

You mean other than Settings > Camera > Formats > Photo Mode?

Of the reasons I can imagine why Apple might want the camera to default to its best settings, "sell moar cloud" isn't in the top 10.

They also don’t default to RAW, which uses like 60-80mb a shot with 48mp! That does use storage quite fast!
