when getting file or all-files with --filename="%Y%m%d/%f.%C", iOS uses CreationDate as original date time of a photo/video, but gphoto2 uses other tag as date.

We currently use the CaptureDate or ( if set ModificationDate ) from the PTP Object Info.

We do not look at MTP object properties currently for the date.

can you get the debuglog and extract 1 image objectinfo debugoutput ? (e.g. gphoto2 -L --debug --debug-logfile=list.log and check list.log for the ObjectInfo output)
