News Update : 8 AM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, Sept 15, 2024 FYI, today we simply want to point out that HDR10+ could be to Photosets what Notifications were to WhatsApp. If ALL goes well, Photosets will (soon) represent a Higher-End, Next-Gen version of TikTok & Instagram. i.e., with custom Producer-side HDR10+ support ! And BTW, we were the first to discover that Apple recently added HDR10+ (Consumer-side) video playback support to iPhones, & NOT just their soon-to-be-released "16" family of iPhones, but ALSO ALL iPhones that are supported by iOS 17 & iOS 18. -----
News Update : 8 PM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, Sept 14, 2024 FYI, on Wed, Aug 14th, 2024, we stated: FYI, today we are announcing that our entire R&D Team has pivoted-back to working on adding per-Scene "Dynamic" HDR metadata support ! We mention this because we "now" believe Apple added HDR10+ support to NOT ONLY the "16" family iPhones but ALSO many older iPhones, in part because of our efforts. And just so it's crystal clear to ALL, we've been pressing Apple for years to add support for HDR10+. Photosets' 60-scene Video Maker has been "waiting in the wings" for Apple to add support for HDR10+. Simply put, we can take care of the Producer-side (i.e., Capture & the Video Maker), but we needed Apple to take care of the Consumer-side (i.e., Video Playback). Now/soon, ALL the pieces of the puzzle will be in place. -----
News Update : 5 PM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, Sept 14, 2024 FYI, some good news to report regarding Apple & our discovery of their newly-added HDR10+ support. Apple didn't just add HDR10+ per-Scene "Dynamic" Metadata support to the "16" family iPhones, but ALSO to select older iPhones as well ! As a reminder, HDR10+ makes Short-Form, Multi-Scene Videos possible. i.e., those with per-Scene "Dynamic" Metadata. -----
News Update : 11:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, Sept 14, 2024 FYI, quick update regarding our earlier News Update. We typically refer to it as per-Scene Dynamic "Metadata" support. -----
News Update : 11 AM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, Sept 14, 2024 FYI, there is an UN-Discovered Gem "capability" in ALL four of the new "16" iPhones ! Apple added HDR10+ per-Scene "Dynamic" HDR Video Playback support to ALL four of the recently-announced "16" family iPhones, yet, to our knowledge, NOT ONE so-called Pro Stock Analyst who covers AAPL for a living, OR (even) one website who covers Apple products & services for a living, has even mentioned it. Go Figure ! As a reminder, HDR10+ is needed to properly support Short-Form, Multi-Scene Videos. Which BTW, should represent the next wave in Social Media. Also BTW, for the record, Apple could have added it in-part because of our pestering for it ! -----
News Update : 7 PM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, Sept 12, 2024 FYI, we've been Asked & have Agreed, to clean-up & update our website ASAP. Read that to mean before trying to make a BIG splash with what we're working on. As a reminder, Oct 12th is when the (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) Comet is predicted to be closest to earth. Off the radar of most, but probably should NOT be. -----

(1) Available on iPhones with a 48 Mpx image sensor. We call it "LL 2x" after "LossLess 2x" (our term). It's basically the center (12 Mpx) portion of a 48 Mpx image sensor. It represents a 2x Zoom-In relative to the Back Wide's native Zoom. (2) 4K30 & 4K60 includes Image Stabilization,
8 Mpx & 12 Mpx does NOT. That's standard for High-Precision Timing Burst Photo Capture. The gist, for Handheld operation, your best bet is 4K30 OR 4K60. 8 Mpx & 12 Mpx are best with a Tripod OR Monopod. Note also that iPhones (& iPads) used to incorporate 8 Mpx image sensors,
then 12 Mpx image sensors (across the board),
& now/recently the trend is clearly to 48 Mpx. Photosets' Burst Photo Camera Engine was first developed for iPhones (& iPads)
that had an 8 Mpx Back-Wide image sensor. We've intentionally kept 8 Mpx capture in over the years,
because it's an excellent choice for Experimenting. i.e., due to the reduced storage requirements. -----

1.) The 3x version is a superset of the 2x version. And that naturally includes the Applications/Use-Cases that it supports. 2.) Likewise the 2x version relative to the 1x version. 3.) v10.29 had offered the 2x version as a One-Time-Purchase IAP (upgrade), but it had NO sales. So, just-prior to releasing v10.30, we Removed it from Sale. i.e., the IAP is NO longer available for purchase. We "may" change our mind on that at some point in the future.
