The problem with space on the iPhone seems to be an old problem with many users, especially because there are thousands of camera images that users do not want to delete from their phones, forcing them to buy copies with higher storage space and pay more money.
But it seems that Apple has listened to this remote sound, which calls for increasing the storage space of its phones since the generation of iPhone 7 and made the least storage space is 32GB instead of 16GB in the generation that preceded it.
But this was not enough, as the problem was relatively present, forcing Apple to look at the problem from another side and was helped by the intelligence of its followers. Perhaps we are more concerned with the industry than any competitor.
Apple engineers took advantage of the all-new compression system HEVC and its copy of HEIF images in the iPhone's camera application. This compression system is the successor to the H.264 system developed by MPEG.
Apple is almost the first and only company currently supporting this new version, perhaps because Apple's money is always there in the near future, so there are no problems for it to buy rights, certificates or technology as a whole.
What does the #HEIF format compare to #JPEG?
As mentioned, is a solution to the problem of storage space, pressure solutions for images and videos are always located in the equation of the balance of quality and space, which is the equation impossible for all systems of pressure and storage.
#The new version HEIF offers the same quality provided by JPEG but with less than half!
Which is a major development in the storage of images and videos in general, as this will reduce the Bandwidth required to share images online and reduce the storage space required to store those images and thus the speed of communication and save the planet Save the planet! (Do not joke by the way).
But which phones support this new version?
Phones starting from iPhone 7 and up with the updated IOS 11 and above Unfortunately iPhone 6 / 6s will not get that feature.
#JPEG責
If you have an iPhone 7 you need to do an IOS 11 update and any image you pick up by default will store it in HEIF format.
But as a tip, always keep the option High Efficiency to save space, especially that the iPhone will save you the trouble of converting the format when sharing those images to non-supporting devices such as Windows will eventually get the images in JPEG format.
