Apple dumps JPEG

i have to disagreee about your statement that one should not shoot in raw. raw stores the greatest amount of data for a photo and if you are going to
edit/photoshop a photo, it is best to have all that data available. Purchase the largest hard drives for your computer and use several hard drives for storage/backup and storage will not be an issue...

Beware when Apple says it is the greatest and will be compatible. That has never been their MO! From the very beginning they have been using closed architecture and I limit what is available and what can be used on other computers, aka windows. Perhaps in the long run this caused improvement in what is available both on their architecture as well as windows. Android managed to capture some of the market when the windows mobiles failed for several reasons. Perhaps the presence of Android was the force behind Apple moving to try to offer even more things that we had to be convinced that we need. Beware any promise that the new standard will easily be converted to other formats. I, for one, wasn't born yesterday, I will believe it when I see it.

"The Apple falls not far from the tree." Apple, from Jobs on, viciously and selfishly kept -- and keeps -- everything proprietary and incompatible with anything else. Makes a LOT of money that way.

The latest operating system for iMac and MacBook etc will also be using that new file system, except it doesn't work with the hybrid Hds

I find it amazing that folks comment on a feature that has yet to be released! Please, carry on!

I don't see JPG or JPEG going away any time soon. When was ASCII ever seriously updated let alone replaced. ...
JPEG will be around for a little while longer.
But the ASCII Character Set (8 bits, 256 possible values) has been pretty well supplanted for a couple of decades. ASCII barely covered American English upper and lower case, digits and a small set of common symbols - not the Euro €, the Pound £, the Spanish ñ or vowels with accents, just to mention a few. Writing and symbols in other cultures demands more variety so we now use 16 bits (two bytes, 65536 possible values) for all but the most rudimentary forms of written communication.
JPEG will go away when 10-bit displays become more common and we move from 16.7 million colors to 1 billion colors.

Apparently you do care or you would not have bothered to post your comment.
Nobody has any illusions about a smartphone being the camera of choice. But sometimes it's all you have with you. It's perfectly adequate for casual photography where the moment is more important than the ability to produce a fine print, for example, with street photography.

Don't take any comfort from what I said. If you don't learn to shoot raw you will be stuck with inferior images.

This move can isolate Apple owners from the main stream - or - depending on how it is received, could become the preferable OS.
There have been similar attempts in the past offering higher quality images but ended up being forgotten (like VHS-Sony)

Anyone who values their time, storage space, speed of use, and simplicity should NOT be shooting RAW !

I take all my photos using a camera, not with my Apple iOS iPad.
And I use my cellphone to make and receive phone calls.

Ya, I agree entirely, as I've been photographing for nearly 60 yrs, and JPEG suits me just fine with my Apple Mac pc. Why rock the boat??

Apple is not "dumping JPG". Apple is changing the file folder system in the OS. JPG will always be JPG (JPEG). You're comparing Apples and Oranges, literally and figuratively.
