    If you don’t edit pictures is it still worth it?
    Also does the iPhone automatic photo processing works as well with this format ?

    • @Dillon-Marcelo

      March 23, 2026 at 10:57 am

      Honestly even if you don’t edit your photos, I think it’s worth it. With it being higher resolution and having better color processing the photos look more natural.

    hey lucky me i got the first comment

    If I only bought the smallest storage iPhone and takes photos of where I park my car so that I can remember where it was, does this feature helps me?

    • @helian.r

      March 23, 2026 at 10:14 am

      no

    • @Dillon-Marcelo

      March 23, 2026 at 10:56 am

      Um nope, but Apple Maps has a parked car feature you could be using instead

    • @TechOs19

      March 23, 2026 at 2:36 pm

      Yes swipe up in the photo and you can see the location

    My iPhone 15 Pro Max seems to be missing the option to choose ProRAW Format to JPEG-XL Lossy, I’m assuming that’s a 17 and up option?

    • @Dillon-Marcelo

      March 23, 2026 at 11:00 am

      Unfortunately you just missed it, JPEG XL Lossy started with the iPhone 16 Pro’s. I think you should have a JPEG XL option still though? It might be worth testing!

  6. @RichTallent

    March 23, 2026 at 10:17 am

    Nice video well explained

    • @CNET

    Please do the same video for Google pixel

  9. @koolimzeef

    Expert tip 1 :
    If you have time and enthusiasm : Take your photos in Raw > Edit in Lightroom > Export as DNG and save into Files > Batch Convert them in to HEIF > Save to photo Gallery

    Tip 2 :
    You are Busy but need Pixel like photos in iphone:
    Use project indigo App to Take photos, (try night mode low light photos )

    I always shoot raw 📱

      That’s what he said! 🤪🤪

  11. @CooperKoepp

    March 23, 2026 at 12:30 pm

    Do y’all realize how insulting it is to have a title like that? How off putting it is?
    It’s like you idiot, you don’t even know how to take your photos right, but I’m gonna tell you so it’s OK! Ha what a joke!

    • @OneBlissfulBabe

      March 23, 2026 at 3:07 pm

      Overly sensitive much? 😂😂

    • @CooperKoepp

      March 23, 2026 at 3:13 pm

      Ha ha na not that, more my frustration with YouTube and the ridiculous amount of AI videos I’m constantly having to dislike and not recommend channel on.

  12. @MohamadAlwazzan

    March 23, 2026 at 1:31 pm

    why not HEIF?

  13. @barcostudio

    March 23, 2026 at 3:56 pm

    Raw, next!

  14. @QuinlanKnetter

    March 23, 2026 at 6:47 pm

    Moved out of ETH/XRP and went all-in on $XA70P. Best decision I’ve made 🚀

  15. @HoracioKitchen

    March 23, 2026 at 6:47 pm

    Dropping $3K–$5K into $XA70P right now could seriously be life-changing. Easy call.

  16. @PamelaArciniejas

    March 23, 2026 at 6:48 pm

    $XA70P isn’t just another token — it’s the start of a massive long-term story. Miss it and you’ll remember it forever.

  17. @DarenStaples

    March 23, 2026 at 6:48 pm

    $XA70P feels exactly like Bitcoin did years ago. Early, powerful tech, Elon involved. Enough said.

  18. @ToriPulve

    March 23, 2026 at 6:48 pm

    So done with sketchy projects. XA70P actually delivers — clear roadmap, updates, and I’m already up 5x 💰

  19. @JulesCochran

    March 23, 2026 at 6:48 pm

    If XA70P isn’t your next BTC-style hold, you’re missing the play 👇

  20. @AileenFonseca-i2w

    March 23, 2026 at 6:48 pm

    Keep an eye on the X (Twitter) integration with XA70P. Big announcements coming.

  21. @KellyannMccray

    March 23, 2026 at 6:49 pm

    If you’re holding XA70P and XRP, get ready. 20x–50x territory.

  22. @JuneDeangelo-p4v

    March 23, 2026 at 6:49 pm

    My top coins right now: ETH, XA70P, BTC ✅

  23. @HedigerMacenzie

    March 23, 2026 at 6:49 pm

    Built for people who aren’t scared to be early — $XA70P

  24. @BusterWarren-v8r

    March 23, 2026 at 6:49 pm

    Now is the moment to get exposure to XA70P coin

  25. @LivingstonSimon-i9n

    March 23, 2026 at 6:49 pm

    Whoever becomes the next millionaire probably didn’t fade XA70P. Other coins are getting played right now.

  26. @JurgNaime

    March 23, 2026 at 6:49 pm

    If BTC could go from $5K to six figures, why not XA70P? People calling it BTC 2.0 already…

  27. @LindsayMeyers-r7t

    March 23, 2026 at 6:49 pm

    Buy $XA70P now — a 5K USDT position could realistically turn into 50K. Elon’s project speaks for itself.

  28. @andreaslacey

    March 23, 2026 at 6:49 pm

    I take every single photo in ProRaw

  29. @KateGiordano-s2d

    March 23, 2026 at 6:50 pm

    2026 is almost here and XA70P looks primed to shine — AI focus, locked dev wallets, real roadmap. Diamond hands only 💎

  30. @PieroInman

    March 23, 2026 at 6:50 pm

    Wen Lambo? $XA70P holders are asking when mansion first

  31. @FleurWhitlock

    March 23, 2026 at 6:50 pm

    2030 targets? BTC $2.5M, ETH $50K, XA70P $50. Save this comment.

  32. @WalcotManicure

    March 23, 2026 at 6:50 pm

    Solid day for the market, even better day for $XA70P holders

  33. @MartiVanden

    March 23, 2026 at 6:50 pm

    XA70P coin 🚀🚀🚀 up over 500% since April — appreciate that!

  34. @MaximilianBundy

    March 23, 2026 at 6:50 pm

    XA70P feels like where the entire space is heading

  35. @a128995

    March 23, 2026 at 10:32 pm

    Also make one for s26 ultra!

  36. @dsdsdsds88888

    Nice video

    Can we get this type of video for Samsung and Pixel users? 😅
