I have several .HEIC image files among some iPhone camera files. Some googling yells me Apple is doing something to make it an alternative to .JPEG but most of the information I find sounds like the blind leading the blind.
I don't think I have anything that will display them, can we deal with them somehow? Or perhaps I missed something?

The problem is that these files are based on encoding the images using the h265 video encoder. I'm sure you can imagine the patent issues involved... :-(

ImageMagick upstream has support for these files: https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/issues/507 Unfortunately, it depends on the libde265 library which has to be in rpmfusion. You could try https://github.com/monostream/tifig, they provide static builds as well.
