📌 Important Note (Sun, 3/15/26):
Photosets' target market is now iPhones with per-GPU Neural Accelerators + iPads with an M4 or M5.
i.e., Apple products aligned with the app's upcoming Next-Gen Multi View Capture support.

📌 BREAKING NEWS : 11 AM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, March 18, 2026

In preparation for the release of the next update of Photosets, v26.2, & the kick off of Photosets' first-ever Marketing & Branding Campaign, we've just dropped the price of the App Store (i.e., Base) version of Photosets to the Bare Min for Paid Apps, $0.29 USD.

Net for us is $0.25 USD per sale.

For every 100M units sold we'd net $25M USD.

With Apple's assistance, we'd easily hit that Photosets Unit Sales number.

And for clariy, we're geared-up for Spring Break & March Madness.

📌 BREAKING NEWS : 9:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, March 18, 2026

Two things to announce:

1.) The Team is working hard to release the next update of Photosets, v26.2, & kick off Photosets' first-ever Marketing & Branding Campaign.

The War complicates the timing of both.

2.) We want to add our two-cents regarding this App Store-related article on MacRumors:

link to App Store-related article on MacRumors

We see it as a double-edge sword.

With the key point being:

Apple's developer agreement gives it the right to remove any app from the App Store at any time,
"with or without cause."
It's the "without cause" part that should give every App Dev Mgmt Team pause.

We strongly believe it's in Apple's best interest to change that BEFORE it becomes Common Knowledge with most others.

It will give others pause.

How many is hard to know, but Apple is competing with AI & ML Dev OUTSIDE of the App Store.

And for clarity, we're NOT too worried because:

1.) While Photosets hasn't done well in Apple's App Store, it is Light Years Ahead of ALL other Camera Apps in Burst Photo Technology & Domain/Application/Use-Case support.

And has been for many years.

We strongly believe most High-End iPhone owners would like to know why it was never recommend OR promoted by Apple's App Store.

We also believe that holds true for most AAPL shareholders & the shareholders of Apple's own cellular service & product "partners".

2.) There may have been a Fudiciary Duty violation OR two along the way.

NO way does Tim Cook OR the other members of the AAPL Board want that getting out.

If you know Our Story you know "precisely' what we're talking about.

3.) Photosets represents American innovation.

i.e., an American company at the very fore-front of a Camera App technology.

You think President Trump might like to know that ?

We certainly do.

4.) Tim Cook has alot of challenges with running Apple right now.

The last thing we believe he wants to do is diminish third-party enthusiasm for developing iPhone, iPad, & Mac apps.

We personally beleive Tim Cook should be throwing money at the problem.

i.e., as Grants to increase Dev enthusiasm.

It's Dev enthusiasm, OR the lack there-of, that we believe Tim Cook should be prioritizing.

He's in a competitive race with AI & ML (OUTSIDE of the Apple ecosystem).

📌 Apple's Final Cut Camera app vs. Photosets' Multi-View Capture (MVC) feature

(table last updated 9 AM, Mon, Dec 29, 2025)

		Apple's Final Cut Camera app + Apple's $49 USD/year Final Cut for iPad 2 software	Photosets' MVC feature

Live Monitoring of up-to 4 different angles of a single scene i.e., up-to Four Feeds		✔	✔

Individual Control of each Feed		✔ (1)	✔ (2)

Video capture		✔	-

High-Precision Timing Burst Photo capture (+ optional concurrently captured Audio data)		-	✔

Captured Content stored on the Master		✔	✔ (3)

Captured Content stored on the Slaves		-	✔

Master	iPhone	-	-
	iPad	✔	✔ (soon)
	Mac	-	✔ (4)

Slaves	iPhone	✔	✔
	iPad	✔	✔ (soon)
	Mac	-	-

Craft Short-Form, Multi-Scene Videos with up-to 60 scenes from the Captured Content		?	✔ (5)

(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).
