📌 BREAKING NEWS : 7 AM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, Feb 14, 2026

The next update of Photosets, v26.1, out soon, adds a scaled-down version of the app's Next-Gen Multi View Capture (MVC) support.

And by that, we mean optimized for one person who owns both an OLED iPad Pro + a 17P or 17PM iPhone.

And for clarity, it's NOT Multi View.

It's Single View.

It supports ONLY ONE MVC "slave".

Think of it as a Remote Controller solution.

We're keeping the Full-Featured version (i.e., the Multi View version) In House for now.

The Full-Featured version supports up-to three MVC slaves.

Simply put, it's too valuable for Apple's App Store.

Plus, perhaps more importantly, it has the potential to become "the Foundation" for our own App Store.

NOT Rocket Science, Apple's App Store focuses-on & is obsessed-on apps for the Young & the Dumb.

Those sufficiently Skilled in the Art should easily see where we're going with this.

Make NO mistake, the AAPL Board will go down in history as the Dumbest Board in BIG Tech.

And for clarity, letting Cook continue to run Apple & Schiller continue to run Apple's App Store, are our reasons why.

The two of them are responsible for Apple having left, by our count, $113B USD of high-end iPhone revenue on the table over the years.

i.e., due to iPhone Upgrade Cyclces being much longer than they could have & should have been.

And that gets back to Apple's App Store focus & obsession.

It is our very strong opinion that Tim Cook should have been replaced as Apple's CEO shortly-AFTER the release of the 2017 iPhone X.

High-End iPhone owners, AAPL shareholders, & the shareholders of Apple's Partner Companies, have ALL "paid the price" for Cook being Apple's CEO past that point.

Ditto for Schiller running the App Store.

We blame the AAPL Board, they should have known better.

On a side note, Dan Ives, someone we rarely agree with,
was Dead On with what he said yesterday on CNBC.

i.e., regarding the software stocks that have recently been taken-down by AI fears.

📌 Multi View Capture (MVC)

The BIG Picture Perspective

(table last updated 7 AM, Sat, Feb 14, 2026)

Apple Product	Cosmosent Software		Multi View Capture
Apple Product	Photosets	Photosets TV/Studio	Master	Slave

iPhone (17P, 17PM)	✔	-	-	✔

Mac (M1+)	-	✔	✔ (1)	-

iPad Pro (M4+)	✔	-	✔ (2)	-

(1) Supports up-to "3" MVC slaves.

As a reminder, Photosets TV/Studio running on Macs was our original MVC master.

And that goes back to when Apple ONLY sold Intel-based Macs.

(2) Supports ONLY ONE MVC slave.

As such, we'll be promoting this version as a Remote Controller solution.

-----

Operational Overview

● Each MVC slave streams their Camera's Live Preview to the MVC master.

Specifically here, it's UN-compressed photo data that is Live Streamed
from the MVC slave(s) to the MVC master.

● The MVC master controls the Camera Shutter on ALL participants in the MVC session.

● The MVC master also controls select camera controls on ALL participants in the MVC session.

Who Controls OR Sends What ?

📌 Photosets v25.411+

(table last updated 8 AM, Fri, Jan 2, 2026)

8-bit (420)	-	JPEG, HEIF	JPEG, HEIF	JPEG, HEIF	JPEG, HEIF	JPEG, HEIF	H.264, HEVC (3)

(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.

📌 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)

	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).
