I think the most critical thing to consider is that Apple, iOS is probably the best photo integration on the planet. Yet, it seems that the critical issue here is that there is no more innovation.

I have some ideas:

First, build and bake in some sort of automatic photo rating app and filter within the Apple Photos app. For example, everyone has a quadrillion photos in their iPhone camera roll, and no effective way to filter their best photos.

The next idea is in regards to the iPhone camera: no no no, people don’t care for video. And nobody finna use their iPhone or iPhone Pro to shoot cinema. The future for the iPhone camera is still photos.

My suggestion for the iPhone camera is create some sort of AI assisted compositional tool. People want to make better photos, but need some sort of guidance. Throw in some gridlines, the golden rectangle, Fibonacci spirals etc.

Also something interesting from ChatGPT 4; it can automatically give you feedback on your photos! Thus, in the Apple Photos app, create some sort of swipe up mechanism that can automatically give you a text based response on the composition of your photos.

Also, the ability to add grit and grain to your photos, especially in the “noir” mode. There should just be a simple slider under the styles portion in which you could adjust and add a percentage of simulated film grain to your photos.
