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?

So excited to be contributing to the design of Halide Mark III, Lux’s flagship photography app. 📷

This is just a sneak peek. Stay tuned for more thoughtfully composed designs.

How can we help with the design of your app? Let’s talk.

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!

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 ...

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?

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.
September 9, 2025 at 6:12 PM
iPhone Air gets a single, large 48MP camera. With a new, more AI-heavy 2× pipeline and discrete crop modes.
September 9, 2025 at 5:53 PM
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.

Physicality: the new age of UI
There’s a lot of rumors of a big impending UI redesign from Apple. Let’s imagine what’s (or what could be) next for the design of iPhones, Macs and iPads.

A year ago, we launched Kino — Halide’s video sidekick. We couldn’t have imagined the incredible rollercoaster of its first year: topping the App Store charts, a cameo in the iPhone 16 keynote, and winning the App Store Awards as iPhone App of the Year!

Happy birthday, Kino 🥳
