Apple and file format change!

 NEW FORMAT, WHO THIS?

Why Apple Switched from JPEG To HEIC For Their iPhone Photo Format

Apple Explainer Technology Video Apple Explained 2 weeks ago

The format for iPhone photos switched to HEIC since iOS 11. It's often caused problems for some users but Apple had to switch it up because their problems are bigger than an individual's problem.

I added this information here, I'll check my iphone soon, as well as watch the video.

I did search on duckduckgo.com and here is what I found out:

What makes a photograph memorable?

We all have family photos in albums, envelopes, boxes. Occasionally we look at them. Most of the time they are not touched. They are stored somewhere, in the basement, the closet or the attic. What's the status of your photos? If they were all digitized, how would you go about discarding them? Here is a great article. Your thoughts, experience is welcome to share What makes a photograph memorable?

Backing up photos videos from your cellphone

At the end of December 2015 I got the new Apple iPhone 6s. It took me a while to get used to it. As I always had android Samsung cellphone and I was very comfortable with it. All my friends were raving about the Apple iPhone, so I decided to give it a try.

However, since then I hadn't backed up my digital files. I had tried to connect to my PC as I used to do with my Samsung and tablet, however I didn't get anything going alerting me about my files. It forced me to sign up with iTunes, which I disliked. Today I gave another try to figure out how to download my files. Bingo, I managed to find my files. I clicked on it and found the DCM folder where there were 3 files, within those folders there were total of 2136 files. It equaled to 4.47gb

As I always like to backup my files, I got my main Master external hard drive. I created a new folder there for my iPhone backups: "iPhone backups to May 16 2016" and there I quickly uploaded the photos. It took me a total of 30min to upload, pretty good. Then I had my second backup external hard drive, which is the Archival backup of the Master drive. That took only 6 minutes!

After all was archived in both locations, I deleted all the files on my iPhone.
I just check storage and iCloud Usage: storage and it shows I have used 6.6gb and available 4.8gb. I am supposed to have 16gb hmmm... where is the rest of the 5gb?
I believe the rest might be all those text messages, whatsup etc - got to go thru all that and get rid of.

June 1st we have a session on backing up photos. This seems to be a major issue.
