Also bear in mind that Lightroom 6 is coming up for 4 years old, its last update was more than a year ago, and it's no longer being updated. You may be better considering a Photography Plan subscription to include Lightroom Classic if you're just getting started.

In the phone's Settings, Camera, Format, change the format to Compatible.

Getting on the record that I just bought Lightroom 6, and I cannot import videos from my iPhone 8 (HEVC). Not acceptable. I might have to ask for a refund if this feature will not be added.

How can this not have been fixed yet, i have a whole lot footage i cant import due to the lack of  h.265 support from your side, this is not some obscure codec its widely used and should be supported. Finding it hard to justify the price i pay every month

HEVC 4K video shot on iPhone 8 hardly plays, then freezes up Lightroom and system requiring a hard restart! Lightroom Classic CC 8.0, iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017, 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 24GB RAM), macOS 10.13.6.

Hello Adobe, anyone actually reading these posts?  Just got back from Grand Canyon with some spectacular footage shot with h.265 codec.  Went to import into LR and it wouldn't accept it as valid media.  C'mon Adobe, for the $31.86 a month that you're gouging me, Windows users shouldn't be ignored.
