And it's because, oh, that was the time that I decided to pick a photographic style and apply it to every single picture I took for a year, and it was a terrible mistake. I bet a lot of people feel that way about a lot of their early Instagram pictures, right? You know me. It's one of the reasons I love Apple photos. Save the original picture and then edit to your heart's content.

But there's got to always be a button that says revert to original. Do not destroy the original. It's like your negatives, right? Edit, modify, filter, crop, do whatever you want non-destructively. Kind of like Aperture used to back in the day. And so that's what they're doing here.

They're giving you increased non-destructive editing abilities without requiring you to save gigantic raw photos every single time.

So this is MacRumor saying, we see the code. It's in iOS 18. It's definitely coming. No mention from Apple. None whatsoever. When they rolled out Heek, they made kind of a big deal about it and talked about it and said this is going to be a better image format and our photos are going to take it by default or whatever. And JPEG XL absolutely did not get that treatment.

We will find out if there's JPEG XL anywhere in these phones. Even if the code is in iOS 18, will it appear in the UI? Will it be turned on by default? Will it be anything at all?

uh the jpeg xl hype was uh high in my heart and uh it did not get fulfilled in this event which is a bummer but hey you never know like again this was a weird event maybe it's just too techy for them to mention uh maybe uh in today's apple wouldn't have mentioned the heek thing either so that's one of the things i'll be checking for as ios 18 rolls out and as ios 18.1 and 0.2 and so on and so forth i'm looking for the jpeg xl sweetness but right now it's not looking great indeed

Yeah, this looks amazing. Can we edit our podcasts and voice memos now? Yeah, probably.

Didn't they make a dedicated app exactly for this for musicians?

Music memos or music notes?

I have this vague memory. It's not. I wonder if this is just like, well, we're going to can that app, but just grab that code and throw it into voice memos.

I kind of wish that they took the non-Max Pro up from 128. I know they're trying to draw a distinction and get you to pay for the storage. I get it, but, like, come on. Anyway, I... Not that 128 is that bad, and it's not as bad as it is on a Max. I just, like, this is another one of those things where they're just riding it out. It's like, we love the distinction. Pro Max starts at 256.
