Did Apple change the directory structure for their photos?

I did do a search and could find nothing about this. Did Apple change the directory structure for their photos. When I look at my iPhone DCIM folder in Windows Explorer the subdirectories are of the form 2021_5 (i.e. Year_Month). It used to be something like 101 102 103 plus some other identifiers. This seems to have happened with the iOS 14.6 update. Don’t get me wrong, I prefer it, but I just want to be sure it is an Apple change, not something wonky with my setup.

I think you don't understand Lawrence :

Yes we all recognize you are very good (maybe the best ?) to explain Apple policy.
But please just admit that some users may find more practical, efficient or pleasant to do things differently.
And they are fully entitled to request Apple to support their needs or their user experience.

The iOS 14.6 DCIM folders names were indeed for me (and other users) the BEST (and I'm really serious) improvement in iOS in the last 10 years. You may disagree, but this is my opinion, and I have the right to have this opinion.

I hope iOS 15 will have this very same wonderful improvement of my user experience that will make me keep iPhones in the future... otherwise, I will change.

Period ;-)
