When I connect my iPhone to my Mac and click on the iPhone item in Photos.app, it shows me about 250 pictures which are already on my Mac. I can't see any pattern: Some are from last week, some from last year, some from five years ago. Why is it displaying them? I'm using iCloud Photo Library and keep the originals on my Mac, so my whole library is already present.
Actually, right above the grid of pictures, it says "Already imported". So what's the point then? Why is it offering me to import the pictures when they're already in the library anyway? And why this apparently random subset of my photos? I don't get it.
