    I dunno, JPEG XT maybe? At a loss here.

    Why did Android also use HEIC, did they choose this just to be a dick like Apple?

      Seeing how Android adopted it 4 years later, it’s pretty obvious that Apple made it the de-facto standard. I agree with you, something like JPEG XT or really any other open format would have been a great choice, but they made HEIC the standard, which requires a license. Dick move.
