Can i backup/upload photos from my iphone? if yes, then does it store the photo in same format(eg.: heic) with exif metadata & same size as in iphone?

Yes, you can backup/upload your iPhone photos with our WebAccess-I app. It does not alter the files in any way.

"standard drives" does not sound like a nas (iron wolf) rated 24x7 duty drive. if "standard" desktop model drive, can they be upgraded to nas spec?

Yes, the Buffalo LinkStations use what I would call common home computer drives. Yes, you can replace those drives with any similar size SATA drives. But, I see no need as I have five Buffalos running 24/7 on my network, the oldest purchased in 2009, the newest in 2018. I have had no failures - zero. If you configure the Buffalo to RAID 1 you have no problem even if a drive dies as they are hot-swap and the system does automatic restore on insertion of a new drive.

I am reviewing the 16tb 720 & will plug it into my wireless router via ethernet. i have both macs & pcs. is this compatable with mac catalina 10.15.7?

Yes, it should work with that OS>

Will wireless support expire at any future point in time like Western Digital's mycloud did?

The LinkStation SoHo’s Personal Cloud support and WebAccess do not expire. The LinkStation Soho will work on wireless networks after connecting to the router via ethernet cable..
