📌 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) Saturday, March 21, 2026 One more thing to announce today. A clarification for those who don't know Our Story. Photosets could have & very-likely should have become the planet's first-ever De Facto Burst Photo Camera App SHORTLY AFTER the release of the 2016 iPhone 7+. The details of Our Story will very-likely shock many. Including AAPL shareholders, & the shareholders of Apple's own cellular service provider & product partners. $113B USD is the one number we want everyone to focus on. That's how much high-end iPhone revenue we believe Apple left on the table over the years because of their App Store actions.
The Gist, we knew more about their iPhone TAM than they did, & when we pointed that out, & how much they very-likely left on the table, they probably didn't like that. The root cause, Tim & Phil have NO Engineering OR Software Development experience, & NO known OR proven "Camera App" Domain/Application/Use-Case expertise. Photos on one end, Videos on the other end, & Burst Photos, preferably captured with High-Precision Timing, in the middle. Apple has done well on the ends but piss-poor in the middle. Also, importantly, the AAPL Board should have known better.

📌 BREAKING NEWS : 10:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, March 21, 2026 Apple Mgmt appears to be really worried about us this morning ! As it appears they've even told Google to do whatever they can to suppress knowledge of Photosets. And for clarity, hard for us to tell if it's because of what we stated earlier regarding our NanoClaw-based companion for Photosets, OR the News out this morning regarding the App Developers behind the Halide Camera App, one of which is now back at work at Apple. OR, perhaps it's a combo of the two topics. Either way, Apple Mgmt appears to be "running scared" this morning. For clarity, in the past, we've posted that we believe Lux had received UN-warranted preferential treatment from Apple's App Store. And when we found out that the one Lux co-founder who is now working at Apple, had worked there in the past, it naturally reinforced our belief. And we posted as such. Make NO mistake, it could be used to help break up Apple's App Store monopoly. We know it, & we believe Apple knows it. Consider this, you think President Trump might like to champion our cause ? We certainly think so, & we're convinced that is precisely one thing Apple Mgmt is worried about. And thus the suppression of Photosets & Our Story. It's NOT OK for Apple to suppress American innovation, especially when an American company is at the very fore-front a a Technology, FULL STOP ! Tim Cook wants to remain Apple's CEO. We'll, that may NOT be his call for much longer. The AAPL Board may need to soon make a very important decision. When it comes down to "it's either him, OR us," you know how they're ALL gonna vote. You heard it here first. Our advise to Cook & the other members of the AAPL Board, Fess Up, Pay Up, & Move On. It's NOT that complicated. You know our number. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 8 AM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, March 21, 2026 Heads Up, we're fast tracking a Unique & Innovative NanoClaw-based companion for Photosets ! -----

(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. -----

(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). -----
