Summary:
I imported all of my photos taken with iPhones from 2010-2014 to iCloud Photos using AirDrop from my Mac, some of them had wrong EXIF data - maybe because they were saved from other apps to the camera roll.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Some photos had GPS date but were placed on the wrong date.
2. Some photos had no date and were placed on the same date that I saved them to the Mac.
3. Some photos had no location.

Expected Results:
Organized Photos Library like in the keynote.

Actual Results:
I asked some friends and found out that its a common problem, because there is no other way I built a small app to help advanced users to organize their photo library.
