Google to fix 'bug' that uploads free full-quality iPhone pics to Photos
Google is about to patch a quirk in Photos that effectively gives iPhone users a free ride. The company told Android Police in a statement that it's planning to fix a Google Photos "bug" that stores iOS photos in their original quality without counting toward Google Drive usage, eliminating the need to pay for more storage when your free 15GB invariably runs out. As the HEIC file format Apple uses to save photos is more efficient than Google's reduced "high quality" JPEG files, Google Photos simply takes the originals -- it'd actually waste space and processing time converting the HEIC images.
