According to foreign technology media 9to5Mac report, Apple iPhone 14 Pro series models installed iOS 17 RC version update the camera app introduced a new “HEIF Max” option, allowing users to shoot 48-megapixel photos in HEIF format. The new HEIF Max option has been introduced to the Camera app on iOS 17 RC models.
Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro Max currently supports three photo options
The options is as follows:
- Regular 12-megapixel supports saving in JPEG or HEIF format
- 12-megapixel photos in ProRAW format
- 48-megapixel ProRAW-formatted photos
Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro series certainly supports 48-megapixel photos, but it previously only supported the ProRAW format. This format outputs the original image and averages 75MB per photo.
Apple has therefore introduced the HEIF Max option in iOS 17, allowing users to take photos at 48 megapixels, which takes up an average of around 5MB per photo and offers more detail than the regular 12 megapixels.
