iPhone 17e: An Almost Perfect Entry You may think the e in 17e stands for economy or essential, but I think it stands for entry. Sure, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but you get access to vibrant ecosystem of third-party ap...

Our iPhone 17e review is here! Since it's the same camera as the 16e, we mostly focus on the software. What makes its new portrait mode different from the rest of the iPhone lineup? What's up with this weird software limitation? Read on!

Thought we’d write a quick review of the iPhone 17e, and the next thing you know we’re running experiments with an infrared camera.

Apple Log Explained Editor's note: We make photography and video apps, so it's about time we released video versions of our essays. Check out the companion video shot in Kino 1.4, or read on for text! Today we're launch...

Today we're excited to launch Apple Log 2 support in Kino! Uh, what does that mean? We're glad you asked, because we wrote a detailed explainer about how Log video works, and what's so special about Apple Log 2. www.lux.camera/apple-log-ex...

Making the Best iPhone Camera App | Ben Sandofsky from Halide YouTube video by Primary Technology

It was a blast sitting down with Stephen and Jason to talk about cameras, real HDR, and… yes, AI in photography. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gv7B...

The Halide app’s anti-algorithm camera mode looks better with a little processing HDR for HDR haters.

“I also feel like it gives me permission to think of myself as a photographer for a little while, not just a person with a phone.”

Everyone who buys Mark II gets Mark III!

If photos made their way into iCloud, sounds 100% like an iCloud issue. It’s actually impossible for apps to remove photos from a library without getting permission each time.

We wish there was more we could do. We even built a “Rescue” feature for when iCloud fails to save at all. But not here. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Woah. Sorry you ran into that. In the past, we’ve found this to be an issue within iCloud, but we want to get to the bottom of this. Could you ping support@lux.camera?

Kino gives us chills.

Phew. It's been a busy few days for your favorite anthropomorphic brand account.

Before I pass out, just want to say thank you for the positive vibes, constructive feedback, and yes, even bug reports. We're so excited for the months ahead.

Have a great weekend!

We test on lots of old RAWs, going back to the iPhone XS, and I'll say the results are noticeable across the board!

Inside Looks: A Mark III Preview Today launched a public preview of Halide Mark III, the next generation of our flagship photography app. It's still a work in progress, but we're ready to start sharing what we've worked on for the pa...

Three tiles with symbols.

It'll all make sense soon.

That's a fine Look right there. Wonder what app it was edited in. 🤔

Requiem for the Rangefinder: An iPhone Air Review Last week I set out to write a few thousand words on the iPhone Air, but it turns out I only need three: the lesser iPhone. Compared to the Pro and baseline models, it has fewer cameras and a smaller ...

New: @sandofsky.com reviews the iPhone Air camera in “Requiem for a Rangefinder".

we always have to get the phones on day 1 to issue fixes - updates are on the way!

iPhone 17 Pro Camera Review: Rule of Three iPhone 17 Pro is here, a big upgrade and makeover of the iPhone and its cameras. Is it really as big of a deal as they say?

Our iPhone 17 Pro camera review has arrived! www.lux.camera/iphone-17-pr...

iOS 26 and iPhone 17 Pro are here. Here’s the latest on our updates - and a first tiny peek at Halide Mark III www.lux.camera/rewrites-and...

Stay tuned for our iPhone camera reviews — there might be two this year.

iPhone 17 Pro is going to be a camera beast. ProRes RAW, 48MP cameras all around, overhauled processing pipeline for digital zoom, vapor chamber cooling for extended shooting.

iPhone Air gets a single, large 48MP camera. With a new, more AI-heavy 2× pipeline and discrete crop modes.

iPhone 17s get a square, doubled-size front-facing camera sensor. Makes a lot of sense, and will get a ton of use by users with the Center Stage feature auto-framing the shot.

Good morning - taking a break from our hard work on Halide Mark III to comment on any new camera news. 👀

Who’s excited?

exciting!
