    Other [POLL] HEIF v JPG - What is your default iPhone picture format & why?

    I'm taking a fresh look, as I prepare to transition to an iPhone 15 Pro Max; do most people accept the default HEIF? HEIF (High Efficiency) vs JPG (Most Compatible) Does HEIF still have significant compatibility barriers, when sharing photos?

    iPhone 15 Pro: 24 MP > 48 MP?

    According to this article, iPhone 15 Pro's 24-megapixel photos are better than 48-megapixel shots. I’m confused by this. Does this apply to just HEIF format or HEIF and RAW? https://petapixel.com/2023/09/18/apple-explains-what-the-iphone-can-and-cant-do-and-why/ The details: Photographers...

    Other Question about Settings > Photos > Transfer to Mac or PC

    So, in the iOS Camera settings, you can choose your format: either "High Efficiency" (HEIF/HEVC) or "Most Compatible" (JPEG/H.24). I use High Efficiency because it saves space and looks just as good and Windows supports them with an extension now. But, over in the Photos settings, under...

    HEIF/HEVC, iCloud Photo Library, and older devices?

    Say I take a photo on my iPhone 7 in high efficiency format, and then it uploads to iCloud Photo Library… will I be able to view it on my other devices that don't support iOS 11/macOS High Sierra? I'm assuming it'll generate a JPEG preview, but I won't actually be able to view the original file?

    How to export actual HEIC files

    Hello, I was wondering how one would be able to export photos in HEIF format (HEIC file extension) on iOS/macOS? All I've tried (including dragging out a photo from the Photos.app on macOS High Sierra) results in a .jpeg file. Which is 1. bigger in size and 2. lesser quality due to recompression...

    My iPhone 7 Plus doesn't capture in HEIF

    Hi, the format setting in camera is high efficient but the file size compared to the setting maximum compatibility isn't smaller! Is there something I do wrong here?
