📌 BREAKING NEWS : 9 AM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Feb 18, 2026

The next update of Photosets, v26.1, could be out later today.

We plan to RE-submit it by 12 Noon.

It NEVER got Reviewed yesterday, so we pulled it from the (Expedited) Review Queue.

On a side note, we've been Asked & have Agreed, to publicly state how much App Store revenue we believe we've missed-out on (over the years).

The number is $120M USD.

i.e., an Avg of $1M USD per Month over the past ten years.

By contrast, we estimate Apple has missed-out on $113B USD
(of mostly high-end iPhone revenue over the years).

If you know Our Story, you know "precisely" what we're referring to.

For those who don't, think in terms of iPhone Upgrade Cycles.

i.e., the decision by iPhone owners as to when to upgrade.

And think in terms of the catalysts, OR lack thereof, that drive those decisions.

Few know just how detrimental Apple's App Store Mgmt Team has been to Apple's top & bottom lines.

We believe the AAPL Board has some serious explaining to do.

And we aim to make it happen !

(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).
