● We use the following criteria to determine which Tier an iPhone is assigned into: ● Relevant attributes of the A-series processor (e.g., the chip's Performance Controller) ● Amount (& type) of DRAM ● FaceID vs TouchID (i.e., FaceID consumes precious DRAM) ● Attributes of the 12 Mpx image sensor(s) (e.g., pixel size & whether it includes Focus Pixels) ● Support for 4K Cinematic Video Stabilization ● Support for 4K Extended Dynamic Range -----
Update for 9 AM (La Jolla, CA-time) Friday, Oct 16th, 2020 FYI, Photosets v8.7 is in "Waiting for Review" at Apple App Review, & as such, "could" become Available for Download later today ! It's a BIGGIE, perhaps our BIGGEST update yet ! Also, while we can make NO promises (that things will work perfectly), & cannot yet promote it in the iOS App Store, we've added-in a 1st cut of support for ALL four iPhone 12 models, plus the 2020 iPad Air 4 !

Update for 1 PM (La Jolla, CA-time) Thursday, Oct 15th, 2020 FYI, we're On Track to submit Photosets v8.7 to Apple App Review later today ! As such, it could become Available for Download tomorrow ! It's a BIGGIE, perhaps our BIGGEST update yet ! While we can make NO promises, & cannot yet promote it in the iOS App Store, we've added-in a 1st cut of support for ALL four iPhone 12 models, plus the 2020 iPad Air 4 ! See the News Updates below for an additional Head's Up. -----
Update for 1 PM (La Jolla, CA-time) Wednesday, Oct 14th, 2020 FYI, we've just made an Important Change, that goes into affect with Photosets v8.7, out tomorrow ? Specifically, the "Special Treatment" Threshold / Demarc is now: ● A13 OR newer A-series processor ● 3.5 GB OR more of DRAM ● Support for 4K Cinematic Stabilization
As such, ONLY the following "seven" Apple mobile devices now qualify to receive "Special Treatment" from Photosets: iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, & iPhone 12 Pro Max -----
Update for 7 AM (La Jolla, CA-time) Tuesday, Oct 13th, 2020 Three things to announce today: 1.) We intend to submit a new Build of Photosets v8.7 to Apple App Review later today, that incorporates as much support as possible for the following yet-to-be-Released products: ● iPhone 12 mini, 12, 12 Pro, & 12 Pro Max ● 2020 iPad Air 4 As a reminder, OR for those who are UN-aware, "Release" means the day a product first becomes available "for purchase". It does NOT mean the day a product was OR is Announced. Like most, we do expect the 2020 iPad Air 4 to be Released today. 2.) We've folded Photosets' ONE & ONLY In-App Purchase, "Pro," into the Base version of the app ! We made this change early yesterday, & the Build we uploaded to Apple yesterday already has all the necessary code changes ! v8.7 represents the Kick Off of a brand-new Business Strategy for us ! We hope to soon Announce our first-ever Institutional Investment ! 3.) There is a 50% chance v8.7 will include RGB3 support ! -----
Update for 6:30 PM (La Jolla, CA-time) Monday, Oct 12th, 2020 FYI, we intend to submit Photosets v8.7 to Apple App Review by day's end tomorrow. The updated code has already been uploaded to the App Store ! Updated iOS App Store "Window Dressing" is the ONLY thing currently holding it back. Here is a Head's Up : ● Our theme for this update is "Wake-Up & Warm-Up". ● Adds Intelligent Camera Startup™ support ! ● Make NO Mistake, this update has Game Changer potential (for multiple reasons) !
Also, we've decided to Hold-Off on releasing RGB3 support until the next update. Here is a Head's-Up: ● Adds a first-cut of 3rd-Gen UN-comp. RGB support (i.e., RGB3) ! ● As a reminder, UN-comp. RGB is the Highest-Quality Possible in High-Speed Mobile Burst Photography ! ● Specifically, RGB3 is 8-bits of Red, Green, & Blue, per Pixel, in the P3 D65 (i.e., Display P3) color space, with NO Image compression, but with Data compression (to reduce file size), & now, with RGB3, per-Photo Metadata !
Please see the relevant Table below. -----
BREAKING NEWS: 10 AM (La Jolla, CA-time) Friday, Oct 9th, 2020 Three things to announce: 1.) It just hit us that Photosets has now had "250" Total iOS App Store "Review Approvals" ! v1.0 + 249 updates ! "250" Total App Approvals for One Single App could be a Record in the iOS App Store ! 2.) Today we are publicly starting that we have serious doubts that the iPhone 12 family will be a market success. We do NOT see 5G as a catalyst ! As such, we believe Apple better have something else up their sleeves to announce on Tuesday, much more than Dolby Vision video capture, which we consider to be a solid B+ addition, otherwise, there is a fair chance the iPhone 12 family will flop ! Photosets is the catalyst that Apple needs ! Fine-tuned over a six year (plus) span ! It has NO direct competitor ! And that includes Apple !
BTW, we see two possible options for Apple's Dolby Vision video capture implementation: ● 10-bit P3 D65 capture packaged in a 10-bit Rec.2020 container (B+). ● 10-bit Rec.2020 capture in a 10-bit Rec.2020 container (B+).
3.) In addition to what was described earlier today, Photosets v8.7 will include an additional Fine-Tune Adjustment to the Camera, that will Improve Capture Performance on iPhones & iPads that had been Idle before using Photosets ! Something entirely new ! Something that ONLY Photosets is capable of ! -----
Update for 7 AM (La Jolla, CA-time) Friday, Oct 9th, 2020 FYI, we're On Track to submit Photosets v8.7 to Apple App Review by day's end on Sunday ! In adds a first-cut of support for .rgb3 !

v8.6 "In App Settings" Dialog As a reminder, "UN-comp. RGB" capture is (currently) supported ONLY on the 2019 iPhones (i.e., 11, 11 Pro, & 11 Pro Max), & does require the "Pro" IAP.
-----
Update for 9 AM (La Jolla, CA-time) Wednesday, Oct 7th, 2020 Three things to announce today:
1.) We wanted to show where we're now spending our R&D Time & Energy.
| Project |
R&D Time & Energy |
|---|---|
| Photosets |
50% |
| Rocket |
20% |
| Photosets TV |
20% |
| Timmy |
10% |
2.) We've Kicked Off work on Photosets' In-App "Lesson #2," which we call: Dedicated Burst Photo DRAM Here is a Head's-Up, before it's out (in Detail) in v8.6. ● What is it ? It's the amount of "dedicated" DRAM available for Burst Photo Capture. ● Why is it Important ? It's the Single-Most Important Factor that determines Capture Performance ! More specifically, when the Camera is first started up. UN-fortunately, iPhones & iPads have NO Dedicated Burst Photo DRAM ! ● So then, what can be done to Improve & Maximize Performance on an iPhone OR iPad ? Knowledge is Key ! More specifically, knowing how to use "the Tools" that Photosets provides to your advantage ! For starters, see Lesson & Tip #1 INSIDE the app. Next, please carefully read & consider the following Disclaimer: ● Apps in Background / Suspended State do NOT consumer processor cycles, but they do consume precious Available DRAM. ● As such, they will limit your Capture Performance ! Finally, feel free to Experiment with the (new) "Power User" switch in the In App Settings Dialog. This switch was added in v8.5. When the Power User switch is set to ON, Photosets performs an additional task (when starting-up the Camera) to try to help Wake Up & Warm Up your A-series processor for High-Perf Burst Photo Capture ! It does add alittle extra startup delay, however, so it is OFF by default.
3.) We've decided to craft our own "Recommendations for New Antitrust Laws" ! When done, we'll present them to Congress ! The time is right for us to act ! -----
BREAKING NEWS: 2 PM (La Jolla, CA-time) Tuesday, Oct 6th, 2020 FYI, effective today, we are now ALSO devoting 20% of our R&D Time & Energy towards porting Photosets' 30-Scene Burst Video Maker to Photosets TV ! -----
BREAKING NEWS: 7 AM (La Jolla, CA-time) Tuesday, Oct 6th, 2020 FYI, effective today, we are now devoting 20% of our R&D Time & Energy towards Rocket, our near-future 10-bit color Burst Photo Camera ! From a High Level Perspective, you can think of Rocket as simply a Higher-Performance version of Photosets. Please see our "Rocket" webpage for a Head's-Up. -----
Update for 11 AM (La Jolla, CA-time) Monday, Oct 5th, 2020 FYI, Photosets TV v1.0 Build # 49 is now Available for Download ! The Install Deadline is Midnight on Halloween. -----
Update for 10 AM (La Jolla, CA-time) Sunday, Oct 4th, 2020 FYI, we're On Track to submit Photosets v8.5 to Apple App Review by day's end. It includes Important Camera Performance & User Interface (UI) Improvements !
Also, while NOT new, we're now RE-emphasizing Photosets' 30-Scene Burst Video Maker. For one, it helps differentiate Photosets from ALL other (Burst Photo) Camera Apps ! It ALSO helps promote the app's ONE & ONLY In-App Purchase (IAP), "Pro," as Videos crafted from photo sets consisting of "45" photos per set are simply much-more-appealing, than Videos crafted from photo sets consisting of (ONLY) "30" photos per set. The limits: ● With the "Pro" IAP: 30 scenes x 1.5-seconds/scene = 45 seconds total duration ! ● Without the "Pro" IAP: 30 scenes x 1.0-seconds/scene = 30 seconds total duration
As a reminder, you select the order of the Video Scenes ! This offers you lots of Freedom & Flexibility to "Tell Whatever Story" you want to !
