That is NOT correct; MAC (Apple) did not come up with it. HEIC is a standard published in 2013 by MPEG, the same organization that created JPEG and MPEG formats. It is an encoding that provides higher resolution photos and videos than JPEG/MPEG but still take up less space than JPEG/MPEG. While Apple was the first to?adopt it in 2017, Google followed shortly after, and it is supported on Android phones, Windows 11 (Windows 10 with an update), and virtually all photo management and editing apps released in the past 5 years or so.
Website developers are the odd ones out in not supporting HEIF (the umbrella standard for HEIC).
