You can scrape that information off photos on flickr taken with an iPhone 4S:
http://www.flickr.com/cameras/apple/iphone_4s/
Here are a few examples of extremes. The dark end seems to show a max ISO of 800 and max shutter of 1/15, which several dark photos agreed with, and none of the ten I looked at went further, so here are two examples:

Looking at very bright photographs, I saw a few claiming very high shutter speeds (1/9259 and 1/2600) but none of them matched the same exif format for the shutter speed field as the rest of the iPhone 4S photos I reviewed, suggesting that these fields were modified in post processing. The lowest shutter speed I saw that matched the format of the other 4S exif files was 1/1842, and the lowest ISO was 64:

This should answer your question for highest and lowest ISO, and highest and lowest shutter speed. Keep in mind I only sampled a few dozen photos on flickr, it's possible I missed the ends of the ranges.

Answer #1 Requires script writting, exiftool, and the creation of a places database.
A partial answer would use a script and exif tool.
Exiftool can read both the exif and IPTC as well as most other metadata in an image. Geolocation is part of the data it can read.
So if your photostream is in folder ~/PhotoStream (I've no idea where you keep it.)
foreach photo in ~/Photostream {
(year,month,lat,long) = exiftool {bunch of flags} photo
foreach placename in ~/Placenames {
# Place name has lat, long, name, radius
# Calculate angular distance from present lat/long to each placename
distance = sqrt((picture_lat - place_lat)^2 + (picture_long - place_long)^2)
if (distance < place_radius) { # found one!
if not exists directory year-month-placename {mkdir MyPics/year-month-placename
move file year-month-placename
}
}
The problem with general sorting for geographical data is that it is intrinsically two dimensional. If you sort just by lat, you end up with New York City being adjacent to Rome.
The script above while not enormously difficult will take some time to get working right, mostly due to the place names.
Answer #2 Sort into folders by date, and add places manually.
I would suggest that unless your place names are fine enough grained that they change multiple times in a day. (E.g. you have separate entries for your hotel, the temples, the coliseum...) that doing a first bin by date, then rename the resulting folders manually.
I recently went through my aperture file (15000 images) and essentially did this by hand. Few of these pics have geolocation info.
A: Renamed each image in the format yyyy-mm-dd hh-mm-ss. Aperture can do this automatically.
B: Make a batch of year folders. Made a project in each one called 'unsorted'
c: Manually moved each year's pix into year folders/unsorted.
d: Make a batch of month projects in each year folder.
e: Move the pix from unsorted into appropriate month folder.
f: In some cases I would make a special project yyyy-mm-project_name where I had a large number of photos dealing with a single topic.
This didn't take as long as it sounds.
Much longer was going through each folder and applying keywords. Well worth doing.

Just open the photo in Preview, press Command-I (⌘+I) to bring up the Inspector. Click the circled i (
ⓘ
) tab, and then theExif
tab. At the bottom of the list you'll findImage Number
.This is your camera's shutter count.
