Need to reduce file size. Not sure about iphone but do you have an image editing app on it ?

Make a copy of your photo (keep the origonal) edit the copy and reduce the photo dimensions (width) to about 1000 pixels and the height auto if it has the option (maintains the dimensions proporsionaly with height auto)

that should make the file small enough to be uploaded if not look for an option to reduce the jpeg quality try -10% or reduce dimensions to 800pixels
