📌 BREAKING NEWS : 8 AM (La Jolla-time) Friday, March 13, 2026

One more thing to announce.

If we get the opportunity, we plan to pitch to the AAPL Board the type of person we believe should be Apple's next CEO.

If Apple has a VP of Applications Engineering we believe that person should be at the top of the list.

Specifically, someone with many years of Engineering & Software Development experience, & with known & proven "Camera App" Domain/Application/Use-Case expertise.

Apple's hardware products are mostly good to go.

It's the advanced software applications that run on top of it where Apple's next shepherd should be focused.

And BTW, we've got nothing against the guy many think will be Apple's next CEO.

We simply don't think he has the right background.

He's at the right age, however.

For the record, we don't believe Apple has a VP of Applications Engineering.

Simply put, we've seen NO evidence of it.

As such, what we're saying here is that Apple MUST (also) consider outside candidates.

And for clarity, NO ONE here is interested.

Once Photosets starts to gain traction, Cosmosent Labs, Inc. will be a much more interesting & exciting place to work than Apple.

And that could happen on ANY given day.

Flagship-caliber Burst Photo Camera Apps are ideal for outdoor activities in the spring !

First of Spring just around the corner.

📌 BREAKING NEWS : 7 AM (La Jolla-time) Friday, March 13, 2026

Heads Up, we plan to release the first-cut of our Photosets 3x5 User Guide by Monday.

Near-term, you'll be able to print it via our website, & then tape it to a 3"x5" card.

Longer-term, we plan to also offer a laminated version for purchase.

And for clarity, we consider this to be a key part of our Photosets Marketing & Branding Campaign.

As we stated on Wednesday, we overshot Tim Cook's App Store by 2-3 levels with our Photosets.

It wasn't intentional.

It just happened.

But we also see it as Opportunity.

For clarity, we mean WRT Burst Photo Technology & its associated Domains & Applications/Use-Cases.

As a reminder, Photosets could have & very-likely should have become the planet's first-ever De Facto Burst Photo Camera App.

And it's NOT just us who believes that.

The challenge is circumventing Apple's stranglehold on App Discovery in their App Store.

The app is ready to go & has been for quite some time.

ALL that's really needed now is a proper Marketing & Brandng Campaign.

One that is 100% OUTSIDE of Apple's influence !

i.e., 100% OUTSIDE of Apple's App Store.

And for the record, we intend to press the AAPL Board to explain precisely why they've been so comfortable leaving (by our count) $113B+ USD of mostly high-end iPhone revenue on the table over the years.

We believe they owe AAPL shareholders an explanation.

It's called Fiduciary Duty.

We're simply gonna call them out on it.

Tim Cook should have NEVER picked Phil Schiller to run the App Store.

We believe he's the one most-responsible for Apple's $113B+ USD screw-up.

What say you Tim Cook ?

On a side note, we believe CNBC should be forced to change their name to "CNBC for Dummies" for ONE entire work-week, for dropping the ball so badly on this very important topic.

Here, we're gonna try to get President Trump to help us.

We're serious.

Time to get the word out.

The Cover Up has gone on long enough.

High-end iPhone owners, AAPL shareholders, & the shareholders of Apple's own cellular service & product providers have ALL missed-out on their respective benefits.

It's simply NOT OK for Apple to suppress American innovation.

And certainly NOT when an American company is at the very fore-front of a Technology.

In this case, Burst Photo Technology & its associated Domains & Applications/Use-Cases.

We believe Tim Cook has some serious explaining to do.

Also for the record, Apple dug themselves into the hole that they are in.

📌 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).
