File size to small for modern tablets and smartphones that have large screens

Me and everyone else that has an iPhone or iPad especially the large ones like 12.9 or 14 inch iPad Pro are being forced to buy nitro in order to share screenshots  because the average size of the image file is around 19mb I’ve seen them on my ipad pro in the image gallery as big as 63 mb for a screenshot so I think it’s time everyone faced the reality that with modern devices that use uhd hdr screenshots that the base size limit without nitro subscription purchases needs to be 75mb and for nitro instead of 100mb that should be moved to 250mb or double the base limit that should allow for one uhd screenshot on even the most ridiculous tablet like the 14 inch iPad Pro my friend has one and her screenshots are around 67mb or about 30 seconds of video at 1920x1080 @1.5mb/s encode no idea why iPad and iPhone jpg and png screenshots are so big cause I punched in the image dimensions it gives in the file information and for those resolutions that file should be around 1.6mb the only one that had files larger than 9mb was one of the uncompressed sizes at 44 mb https://toolstud.io/photo/megapixel.php?width=2732&height=2048&compare=photo&calculate=compressed#calculate

    Just change the settings in your camera app to use a smaller resolution.

    If your photos take up more than 8MB, you've got a problem.

    That is not an option on iPad for screenshots they are even to large to post here everyone I know that has an iOS device is unable to post screenshots and several friends that have android devices also have this problem on my iPad Pro the size of a screenshot varies between 9.9 to over 60mb

    Ok so using the HEIF format a 12mp 4032x3024 picture from the  back dual wide camera is 1.7mb that same picture same 4032x3024 12mp in JPEG format is 3.2mb and the screenshot of that picture at 6mp 2732x2048 in PNG format which is the only thing it save screenshots in is 9.6mb in order to share this picture I had to use an external image compressor app but the size of the file seems to depend entirely on what the picture is

    This is why having an 8 mb limit on anything nowadays is absolutely ridiculous my mom had nitro with a 100mb limit on it and discord would still compress the files making the video quality absolutely horrible you couldn’t read text in the videos it was so blurry
