Comment on IPhones' default photo format is HEIC, something that Windows doesn't open by default.

  Almost all of them? They may prompt you to install additional codecs but thats it. Most software displaying images support thoose image formats. Man we have vlc to display any format

    That’s exactly the same case as Windows. The built-in photo/video players don’t support them out of the box, but do if you install the free codec from the store, or you can install any 3rd party players you like.

    There are lots of great things about Linux, but out of the box support for licensed video codecs isn’t one of them

      I am talking about the prompting “on install”. Its just add on install and everything works. That sounds like out of the box support for me
