Just got my new X Pro2 by Fujifilm. There isn't any support at present for the new Raw format (still .RAF). The new X70 might well have the same issue. Will there be an update sometime soon? Let's hope so. Stephen
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.4), 10.8 actually
Just sent this to Apple:
"Mac OS and Photos only support UNCOMPRESSED Fujifilm X-Pro2 and X-T2 .RAF files, which take nearly twice as long to write to the SD cards because they're twice the size. With Fujifilm's help, Apple should be able to support compressed .RAF files, LibRAW has reverse-engineered compressed .RAF: https://www.libraw.org/news/libraw-compressed-fujifilm-raf-support
Please support compressed Fujifilm RAW files ASAP!!! Thanks."
Apple can either work with Fujifilm or use open-source code to make our lives better.
Apple never publishes in advance when new digital RAW support updates will be released. You'# just have to wait and use the software provided by Fuji to develop your RAW files.
It doesn't signify much that the filename extension is still .RAF.
The filename extension is usually the same for all RAW formats by a certain manufacturer, but the digital RAW support is camera specific nevertheless.
Thank you I am aware of all that. I've owned 5 X series cameras to date. Just for your further information the iOS 'Photos' does recognise the files, which I have discovered since posting my original comment. So Apple have at least fixed that. Even Fujifilm UK did not understand things until today when I updated them. Silkypix will handle the files, as will the internal engine, and Lightroom 6 I am told.
AFAIK, the iOS viewer does not really develop the RAW files, it just shows the JPEG preview. That is why it can handle so many RAW formats without updating the software.
That's right, Keith. It says so in this support article:
How Photos and iCloud Photo Library handle RAW images - Apple Support
When you work with RAW images on an iPad, the iPad will show the embedded JPEG thumbnail of the image created by the camera, not the actual RAW file.
And if you edit the photo, it will just edit the JPEG thumbnail.
Are you really on 10.8?
If so, you may be out of luck. Yosemite or El Capitan might be required for any new cameras
No I'm not. Just haven't updated the info. In fact I updated El Capitan again today. I don't believe the comments entirely about iOs and jpeg files as if that were true it would show only the jpeg simulation which it doesn't. For instance if the jpeg is ACROS it would show mono only. However, it shows full colour. It doesn't alter the fact that this camera has been in field trials for about six months. Something could have been done by now.
Still an issue. X-Pro2 compressed RAW files are not recognised by Apple Photos.
I have other software for conversion/import, but sometimes would be so efficient to just import that into Photos and sync to iCloud.
And compressed .RAF files is a great stuff because save a lot of space everywhere to me.
In general Apple does not work with compressed RAW files, only uncompressed RAW files
You can suggest a change to them - http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Yeah, but it's kinda weird to ignore one of the most convenient formats for shooting for several months.
Adobe added support in a month or so.
Submitted feedback as well (again), thanks for reminding.
See the footnotes in this support document: Digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS 10 and macOS Sierra - Apple Support

- RAW processing on iOS with third-party apps is available on iPhone 6 or later, iPod touch (6th generation), iPad mini 4, iPad Air 2, iPad Pro (9.7-inch), and iPad Pro (12.9-inch)
- Canon EOS-1D X Mark II, Canon EOS 80D: Canon RAW format only

- Nikon D5, Nikon D500: Nikon RAW L format only
- Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II: 16MP RAW format only
- Pentax K-1: Single shot RAW format only
Yeah, seen that, thanks.
Already wrote why compressed RAF format of X-Pro2 and new Fuji cameras is essential to me - saved space and speed.
Raw support for ne Fuji models e.g. X Pro2
