Thanks.

I had to tweak it a bit to get it to work (it was outputting '.HEICjpg' as file ext. and not finding .HEIC files (because iOS outputs uppercase file extensions for photos):

for i in *.HEIC; do sips -s format jpeg -s formatOptions best "${i}" --out "${i%heic}.jpg" && touch -r "${i}" "${i%heic}.jpg"; done

Or, with imageMagick: for i in *.HEIC; do convert "${i}" "${i%heic}.jpg" && touch -r "${i}" "${i%heic}.jpg"; done
