📌 BREAKING NEWS : 9 AM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, Feb 22, 2026 We want to clarify something important WRT what we had announced earlier. (We believe) there is alot of value in being Responsible for & getting Credit for the Complete Break Up of Apple's App Store monopoly. And, importantly, we want to make it Crystal Clear to ALL that Apple dug themselves into the hole that they are in. Our contribution was simply Best-in-Class Perseverance. Sure, Photosets is Light Years Ahead of ALL other Camera Apps in Burst Photo Technology & Domain/Application/Use-Case support. But that ONLY occurred because of (our) Perseverance (& Insight). Also, while we do believe Ives & Munster should have picked-up on the issue, there are others we've never mentioned who should have as well. i.e., those so-called Reporters & websites who (claim to) focus on covering Apple. They can't ALL be DumbF#%ks, so there clearly must be a Cover Up (OR two). Food for though. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 7 AM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, Feb 22, 2026 Late yesterday, while Brainstorming our Business Strategy, we came up with what we believe to be an Innovative Twist. Today, we've begun executing on that new idea. The Gist, Tim Cook's App Store is NOT a good fit for Photosets. If you know Our Story, you know the "precise" reasons why we feel that way. And, you know that we believe it doesn't reflect upon Photosets, ONLY upon Apple's App Store Mgmt Team. For clarity, we believe Tim Cook's biggest screw-up as CEO was appointing Phil Schiller to run Apple's App Store. Combined, Tim & Phil have NO Engineering OR Software Development experience, & NO known OR proven "Camera App" Domain/Application/Use-Case expertise. Combine that with the fact that Apple acquired the best Burst Photo Camera App in their App Store in late-2013/early-2014, but then leveraged ONLY that app's NEON-based JPEG Encoder. Go Figure ! Read that to mean they completely dropped the ball. Photos on one end, Vidoes on the other end, & Burst Photos in the middle. Apple has done well on the ends, but piss-poor in the middle. They clearly didn't know what they had & they clearly didn't know that a Burst Photo Camera App could be implemented in two different ways. Combine that with the fact that the ONLY "Camera Apps" Apple's App Store has recommended during Cook's reign as CEO almost-ALL came from one company, where one of the co-founders used to work at Apple (& who is now back at Apple). That alone should be investigated by the DoJ. To us, it proves that Apple doesn't really have ANY so-called App Store Editors OR Experts covering Camera Apps. Furthermore, we're convinced it was very-likely Schiller making the "Camera App"-related calls on his own. BIG picture perspective, Apple's App Store Mgmt Team has cheated high-end iPhone owners, AAPL shareholders, & the shareholders of Apple's own cellular service provider partners, out of the benefits that Photosets & the other Flagship-caliber Burst Photo Camera App offer. That absolutely should be investigated by the DoJ. We believe Fudiciary Duty violations very-likely occurred. NOT be Schiller, he's NOT a member of the AAPL Board. We believe he can get off scott free. It's Cook & the other members of the AAPL Board that need to worry. Once Our Story becomes Common Knowledge, the AAPL Board will have some serious explaining to do. And that Boys & Girls, is how our CRITCoal will begin to gain traction. As we see it, Cook & Schiller are just "sacrificial lambs" for a greater cause. It is what it is. And BTW, ONLY three people got Photosets yesterday, when it was FREE for the day. It's now half-way-back-up to its Regular Price. We made that change an hour ago. Once we implement the innovative twist it will go ALL the way back up. -----

(1) As a reminder, it's Photosets' Long Press Shutter support controlling a User-sized FIFO Buffer that's the starting point of it ALL. (2) Photosets crafts 10-bit Videos simply based-upon what's stored in the app. (3) up-to "60" scenes per 8-bit Video. Also, for the record, from our perspective, nothing Technical prevents v25.411+ from becoming the planet's first-ever De Facto Burst Photo Camera App. -----

(1) Capture, plus various camera controls. (2) Currently ONLY capture, but we're now working on adding support for everything, & more, that Apple supports with their Final Cut Camera app. (3) ONLY if the Master is an iPad and its Camera is participating in the MVC session. (4) via our companion macOS app for Photosets, Photosets TV/Studio. (5) As you may OR may NOT know, Photosets includes an integrated Short-Form, 60-Scene 8-bit 420 Video Maker. And it includes Rock Solid A/V synch support for the optional concurrently captured Audio data. You can run the Video Maker on an iPhone OR iPad. In the past, we had allowed Photosets' 8-bit 420 60-scene Video Maker to also run on a Mac. And for that case, End Users needed our Photosets TV/Studio macOS app with its custom App Group-based Content Sharing support, to pass photo sets IN & get Videos OUT (of the Mac app). -----
