My iPhone shoots in HEIC - not JPEG is that allowed?

Bigger question - how exactly do we use our phones in a minimal editing rule set??? Please explain in detail. (Asking for my friends - )

Janine - 99.9999% certain that HEIC format file is acceptable. I want to double-check something, but I'm fairly certain we've validated those before.

Can also change the phone to default to saving JPG. I have an 11 Pro Max for work and it has always saved in JPG. Mine just keeps defaulting back to those damn "live" images no matter how many times I set the default to off.

Confirmed - we have used HEIC files as valid originals from iPhone's previously.
