Laravel Intervention: Unable to init from given binary data

I'm using Laravel 5.6 to let users upload their profile photo. On production, I've got some cases that returned error "Unable to init from given binary data." Got like 5 errors from the last 2,000 users uploads (0.25%). Pretty low, but these users are a more important users that I want to keep.

I use Dropzone as a frontend, and send only image data to Controller via Ajax Post.

Here is the Controller:

public function savePhotos(Request $request) {
    if(!$_FILES["file"]["error"]){
        $file = $request->file('file');
        $ext = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
        $filename = Auth::user()->id . '.' . $ext;
        $filePathAndName = 'uploaded/'.$filename;

        Storage::disk('original_images')->put($filePathAndName, file_get_contents($file -> getRealPath()));

        //generate thumbnail
        try{
            $img = Image::make(Storage::disk('original_images')->get($filePathAndName));
            $img->orientate()->fit(200, 240);
            $newImg=Image::canvas(200, 240, '#ffffff')->encode('jpg',75); //create a blank image 200x240 px with white background
            $newImg->insert($img, 'center'); //paste resized img to new blank image
            Storage::disk('thumb_images')->put($filePathAndName, (string) $newImg->encode());
        } catch (ErrorException $e) {}
    }
}

The error happened at line with Image::make(), even it's in the try catch block. I've checked all uploaded files and there are 2 cases of error here.

1. Some entry level Android phones upload 0 bytes image.

2. iPhones (iOS13/Safari) upload images that I can download them from server, and view on my Windows machine. But Laravel somehow couldn't process them, and return said error.

For those images uploaded from iPhone, I can't share them since it's the facial of the uploaders. Can't break privacy law. Instead, I could share exifs. Both are .JPEG.
