,

The article discusses how iPhone users can capture more natural-looking photos by bypassing Apple's default computational photography features like Smart HDR and Deep Fusion, which often result in over-processed images. It highlights third-party apps such as Halide's “Process Zero” that minimize in-camera processing to produce flatter, more authentic photos better suited for editing, while also noting trade-offs like grainier images in low light and loss of some convenience features.

John Ternus Replaces Tim Cook

,

Tim Cook will step down as Apple’s CEO on September 1, 2026, becoming executive chairman, while John Ternus, senior vice president of Hardware Engineering, will become the new CEO. Ternus is expected to bring a more decisive, product-focused leadership style akin to Steve Jobs, focusing on hardware excellence and potentially addressing ongoing software quality and developer relations issues. The transition marks the end of Cook’s 15-year tenure during which Apple grew substantially in services and wearables, but also faced criticism for software decline and lack of innovation.
