Situation
You use a default mail application on iPhone for sending emails. Any picture you want to send via a mail is displayed at recipient as
embedded email.
Resolution
This is a way how default mail application shipped by Apple
works. Already when you want to attach a picture from iPhone to email, this
is showed as a picture inside email body.
When you analyze later GMS logs what was sent from the iPhone, you will
see similar sections in a Mime header of such email:
Sent from my iPhone
--Apple-Mail-210603D0-F106-4C75-8A7A-B4C9D79C63E8

A formatting tag Content-Disposition already states it is in-lined picture in a message body and not attachment.
You can download some other mail application for iPhone from iTunes, like for
example VMWare Boxer, for testing.Sending pictures via Boxer application will show
them as separate attachments at recipient site. Already when you
compose new email and add attachment, it shows them as
attachments and not being placed inside a message body.
Checking GMS logs again, the Mime file shows
information similar like in example bellow:
Sent from Workspace ONE Boxer
X-Mailer: VMwareBoxer 5.6.0 (3693)
Content-Type: image/jpeg
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-ID: <Boxer_1556702734.944306_asset.JPG>
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="=?utf-8?B?Qm94ZXJfMTU1Njcw?=
=?utf-8?B?MjczNC45NDQzMDZf?=
=?utf-8?B?YXNzZXQuSlBH?=";
size=2062100
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-ID: <Boxer_1556702734.944306_asset.JPG>
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="=?utf-8?B?Qm94ZXJfMTU1Njcw?=
=?utf-8?B?MjczNC45NDQzMDZf?=
=?utf-8?B?YXNzZXQuSlBH?=";
size=2062100
Here, a formatting tag Content-Disposition clearly states added
picture from a iPhone is a regular attachment added to a email and
not as a picture added inline within a message body.
