What is a HEIC file?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. Every photo taken on a modern iPhone is stored as HEIC. These files contain extensive EXIF metadata including precise GPS coordinates, altitude, device model, camera settings, and the exact date and time the photo was taken. HEIC files often contain even more metadata than JPEG due to Apple's detailed data collection.
