Today, Apple releases iOS 11, the new operating system update for iPhones, iPads, and iPods. In iOS 11 or later, the iPhone camera will save its photos in HEIC format, and videos in HVEC (h.265) format. Pictures created with HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format, HEIF images have a .heic file extension) take up less space than JPEGs and can even up to half the size per image.
However, the HEIF/HEIC formats are currently not supported on all iOS device, an Android phone or Windows PC. Currently the newest iPhone camera models support this feature, like iPhone X, iPhone 8/8 Plus, and iPhone 7/7 Plus.
