News Update : 7 AM (La Jolla-time) Monday, Feb 17, 2025

FYI, we're moving forward with adding 10-bit 422 4K photo capture to the Base version of Photosets, but NOT how it's currently implemented in the app.

The gist, because the Feature will ONLY be available on Apple's "four" newest "Pro" iPhones & because we're limiting the Max Number of Photos per Set to ONLY "10" OR "15" 10-bit 422 4K photos/set (to protect our IP), we believe it makes alot of sense for us to config the capture process to "Auto Craft" 10-bit ProRes 422HQ videos (during capture).

In other words, with this approach, End Users will end up with (Short) 10-bit ProRes 422HQ video "scenes".

And from there, craft Short-Form, Multi-Scene Videos.

For reference, see Photosets' existing 8-bit 420 Short-Form, 60-scene Video Maker.

As a reminder, v11.5 will represent Photosets' 400th App Review Approval, & because of that we want to make a BIG splash with it.

On a side note, we plan to keep the Base version of Photosets priced at ONE U.S. Buck.

And, until further notice, we plan to keep both IAPs in their current state.

i.e., "Removed from Sale".

Both IAPs are relatively new, & neither has had ANY sales.

For clarity, it's the Features & Capabilities behind those two IAPs that we'll be using for our
In House Content Producer efforts.

And BTW, we expect to generate 95% of our Revenue from our In House Content Producer efforts, & ONLY 5% from App Store sales.

Do NOT be surprised if we "set a trend".

(1) It is precisely because of Photosets' status in Tim Cook's App Store
that we're now actively working on the other two items.

Those sufficiently Skilled in the Art (of Marketing) should appreciate what we're up to.

(2) BMW never produced an N52-based M3 sports sedan.

We consider that to be a Dumb Move on their part,
especially since the 2006-2008 E90 sedans were BMW's last
with their highly-prized Hydraulic-assist Power Steering.

Our camshafts will result in what we refer to as an "E90 M3 Lite" !

(3) Intended to give the 1/3 in the middle a Political Voice
(& perhaps some much-needed Political Power).

Final Parts List for the Valve Stem Oil Seal R&R Job

ALL parts, except the Intake Valve Springs, were purchased at FCP Euro.

Total parts cost:  $1,273.14 USD

Important Notes:

1.) The N52 in our prototype 2006 E90 M3 Lite
has Exhaust valves with a 6 mm stem diameter.

2.) The ONLY part that wasn't In Stock anywhere were the Intake Valve Springs.

And the reason we didn't order those early was because we didn't know if we needed
12 (Intake ONLY) OR 24 (Intake & Exhuast).

They are strictly for valves with a 5 mm stem diameter.
