📌 Important Note (Sun, 3/22/26):
We're looking-into what role our upcoming NanoClaw-based companion for Photosets could play
WRT "annotating & sharing" Burst Photo Sets.
i.e., for ML Use Cases.
-----

📌 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) Sunday, March 22, 2026

One more thing to announce today.

We want to clarify to potential Investors & Corp Partners, that we believe we missed-out-on $120M USD in Photosets Unit Sales over the past ten years, & which correlates to the $113B+ USD of (mostly high-end) iPhone revenue we believe Apple left on the table over the same period.

i.e., due to Apple's App Store actions.

📌 BREAKING NEWS : 10 AM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, March 22, 2026

One more thing to announce today.

NOT Rocket Science, we see alot of value in being Responsible for, & getting Credit for, the Complete Break Up of Apple's App Store.

And for clarity, we want everyone to know that Apple dug themselves into the hold that they are in.

Our main contribution was simply Best-in-Class Insight & Perseverance.

On a side note, we just drop'd the price of the App Store (i.e., Base) version of Photosets to ONE U.S. Buck.

Temporary price change only, however.

📌 BREAKING NEWS : 9:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, March 22, 2026

We've been Asked & have Agreed, to clarify what we meant by the App Devs behind the Halide Camera App took advantage of the fact that Phil Schiller runs Apple's App Store.

Specifically, we posted on macrumors.com that we believed Apple has NO so-called Editors covering the Photo & Video category, & that it was most-likely Phil Schiller making the calls on his own.

The App Devs behind Halide either figured that out on their own, OR read what we posted.

Irrespective, just like us, they concluded that Apple would very-likely NOT create competition for apps that Phil had recommended.

And thus, we believe the App Devs behind the Halide app used that to comfortably Re-price their app from $5.99 USD to $59.99 USD.

And for the record, the reasons they gave for the price increase was, in our opinion, Total BS.

The reason is Phil Schiller runs Apple's App Store.

Ask yourself, why does a man with NO Engineering OR Software Deveopment experience, & NO known OR proven "Camera App" Domain/Application/Use-Case expertise run Apple's App Store ?

Our guess, Tim Cook doesn't want the per-Category numbers getting out.

And doesn't want the General Public to know how few apps are doing financially well.

On a side note, it may to too late for the AAPL Board to fix the problem.

AI & ML has taken over.

And by that we mean Dev enthusiasm.

Also, just like Schiller, Cook has NO Engineering OR Software Deveopment experience, & NO known OR proven "Camera App" Domain/Application/Use-Case expertise.

If CNBC reported on just half of what we know, AAPL shareholders would be up in arms.

They would force Tim Cook out.

And probably half the members of the AAPL Board.

It's NO OK to leave $113B+ USD of (mostly high-end) iPhone revenue on the table over the years.

Ives ?, Munster ?, where the F#%k have you been ?

On CNBC almost every week, but NO real Insight into Apple.

The blind leading the blind.

We've said it before, we'll say it again, CNBC should be forced to change their name for one entire workweek, to "CNBC for Dummies".

For the record, we think it's time for the AAPL Board to announce Tim Cook's retirement date.

The Cover Up has gone on long enough.

Don't wait for high-end iPhone owners to (also) be up in arms.

NO doubt, when they find out the facts, they will feel Apple cheated them.

i.e., out of the benefits that Photosets & the other Flagship-caliber Burst Photo Camera Apps offer.

📌 BREAKING NEWS : 8:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, March 22, 2026

Four things to announce:

1.) This morning, we learned that it wasn't just Trump who thought Iran's regime would collapse immediately after the initial airstrikes of the War that took-out their leadership, Netanyahu also thought so.

To that we want to add, this isn't the first time the leaders of two countries whose political careers were on thin ice, got together to try to salvage their careers.

UN-like mainstream media here in the States, we don't go off on a wild goose chase every time Trump AND/OR Netanyahu says something.

We look at things from a practical, common sense perspective.

Aided by analyzing WW News outside the mainstream media here in the States.

We encourage ALL others here in the States to do the same.

2.) This morning we also learned that Ukraine has 1M "annotated" images for their anti-Drone efforts !

That got us thinking this morning, NOT about anti-Drone Tech, but "annotated" images in general.

And specifically, what role our upcoming NanoClaw-based companion for Photosets could play.

We've begun brainstorming precisely that this morning.

3.) The ultimatium that Trump made to Iran's new leadership late yesterday has boxed himself in.

What he does next is the most-important decision of his life.

If he follows-thru on his ultimatium, things could quickly go sideways.

4.) CRITCoal remains a NO on ANY War Supplemental.

For one, we believe the $200B USD would just give Trump the runway to start more Wars.

For two, we believe it's the accelerating U.S. National Debt that remains
the greatest National Security Risk to the U.S.

Recently passed $39T USD.

Ten years ago today it was $19.2T USD.

Off the radar of most, but should NOT be.

For the record, CRITCoal is 100% aligned with what Rep. Lauren Boebert recently stated regarding the $200B War Supplemental.

i.e., a Hard NO.

📌 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).
