This isn’t as sensible as a dedicated family NAS, or plugging a drive to the router, but it’s certainly cheaper.

You now nominate a Mac as a Time Machine backup server for other Macs on the LAN. But the updates to 10.13 make it less necessary for SMEs. Yes, Apple still maintains and sells this, for £19.99, and schools find the management features very handy. Some major features of macOS Server are coming to High Sierra. Remember this, the Apple Time Capsule? Good, because nobody at Apple can. Other than some 5K iMacs from 2015, only hardware released in 2016 and this year can cut it. The problem with HEVC is that it is hugely hardware-intensive, and anything prior to Skylake is not supported. HEVC was also designed to tackle the storage problem created by high frame rate high resolution video (the new iPhones can now shoot HD at 240fps or 4K at a ludicrous 60fps).

HEIF not only bundles up everything that’s typically associated with an image - exposure metadata, the multiple images recorded in a burst shot, a thumbnail - but also offers much more aggressive compression, almost 3x the space saving. A new-ish Mac and a recent-ish iPhone upgraded to iOS 11 will be fine.

They promise great space savings at the expense of compatibility.

New container formats High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIF, or “heef”) for images and High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) for video. The biggest future benefit in this year’s Apple platform updates - assuming printers have started to print, and file systems have upgraded without losing data - will be the fundamental new multimedia file formats.
