Why Android camera app uses JPEG format?
There are more efficient formats like JPEG-XL, HEIF and WebP. If you convert the RAW -> JPEG -> WebP you are losing more quality. I think iPhone uses HEIF format.

My Samsung has the option to save as HEIF. When I want to share that photo, my phone shares the HEIF file which isn't commonly supported.
An iPhone also saves as HEIF - however, it automatically converts to jpeg when you share. Much smarter, more seamless.
In some scenarios the iPhone will ask you (which is good) whether you want to share the photo as is or convert it to jpeg like yesterday when I tried to send a photo on telegram as a file to avoid the unwanted recompression
