High Efficiency Image Format (HEIF) will considerably reduce the space occupied on iPhone and iPad

Until now we were used to almost every time a software manufacturer or developer promises performance after an update, it actually means a smaller space on the device and even complicate the system.

It seems that iOS 11 will no longer respect this "rule", and owners of iPhone si iPad will no longer have the stress of the space occupied on the device with pictures and movies.
New technology HEVC (H.265) implemented by Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), pe iOS 11 will allow better compression a File photo si video caught with apiculture Camera, and for photo the format will also be entered HEIF - High Efficiency Image File Format.

What is High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)

This is not a new format. It has been used by Apple since 2015 to save bandwidth (bandwidth) in video calls made through FaceTime. So using the codec HEVC are possible video calls in HD format with low internet traffic. Very useful when we are connected to a mobile network 4G cu limited traffic.
The format has also been used by Netflix and Amazon Instant Video, but only for non-mobile devices.

What is High Efficiency Image Format (HEIF)

High Efficiency Image Format (HEIF), is the new format developed by Apple for images/photos. If until now we were used to it picture to be in .JPG format (which has become synonymous with the digital image), iPhone and iPad users will get to know .heic. This new format will also be used by HEVC to encode images from video recordings. They will be half the size of JPG and H.264, while maintaining image quality. Normally, encoding and decoding will be much faster than JPG.

Therefore. the biggest advantage of the new HEIF format is saving the space occupied by photos and videos on the iPhone and iPad, while maintaining the quality of the images.

For iPhone users who need to view photos on Windows, iOS 11 will automatically convert from .heic to .JPG when exporting to Windows PC.
