 [https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT207022 As of ios 11], Apple start using
 the HEIF format to save images. Sadly HEIF files can not be viewed in web
 browsers. For those taking images on their iPhone, this would mean to
 embed a raw iPhone photo, would require them to use a third party tool to
 convert that image into a web safe format like jpeg.

 WordPress core should convert this image to a web safe format while
 keeping the original for reference.
