Apple's iPhone photo format frustrates users on other devices

Photos taken on iPhones in the default High Efficiency format, using HEIF and HEVC, often fail to open on other devices and platforms. Apple says these formats offer better compression than JPEG and H.264. A fix for new photos is switching Settings › Camera › Formats to Most Compatible, while existing files can be converted to JPEG via Preview on a Mac through File › Export.
Why now: People keep running into compatibility problems when sharing iPhone photos, so practical workarounds are circulating.
