Any One Else get locked out of their Apple Accounts yesterday or today?

Was watching a movie on my apple tv yesterday, when I git kicked out of my Apple account, on all of my devices. My Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, and it fought me on entering my correct passwords, then said my account was locked, and I had to change my password, then re-enter it on each device (ever try and enter a long password on an Apple Watch? My account is an old .Mac account, but my password is only 6 months old.

I was glad to see I am not the only one having this issue, check out Macrumors, Forbes, Gizchina, and Engadget,

Apple announced the iPhone 15 Pro and it will shoot Spacial Video for Apple Vision Pro

So Apple has announced the iPhone 15 Pro, and it has some pretty interesting video features, from being able to record to an external hard drive (at higher rez) better low light, and later this year it will be able to shoot Spatial Video for the Apple Vision Pro.

Coming later this year, iPhone 15 Pro will add a new dimension to video capture with the ability to record spatial video for Apple Vision Pro. Users will be able to capture precious moments in three dimensions and relive those memories with incredible depth on Apple Vision Pro when it is available early next year in the U.S.

So it will be able to shoot 3D footage? Or is it 2D with a depth map, like Portrait mode, which could be very exciting for compositing.

I was actually wondering if they were going to use the depth map of portrait mode to make 3D photos for the Vision Pro since you can already make them 3D in Facebook, and since it is Apple photos, Apple must be able to do that as well.

9to5Mac on LumaFusion adding a full multicam editor to LumaFusion for iPhone and iPad

From Fernando Silva at 9to5Mac.

LumaFusion is really the first normal video editing program on the iPad that works like AVID and Premiere Pro (Not Final Cut Pro) and it just keeps getting better and more powerful.

I have edited on it and it was well worth using, though of course I love keyboard editing the most, so the iPad will always be a second class editor.

No Film School on how you should use ProRAW vs. ProRES on an iPhone

James DeRuvo from No Film School has a great article on ProRAW for Photos and ProRES for Video on the iPhone.

The one thing that doesn’t get touched on, which always drives me nuts about the iPhone is not only that the video frame rate tends to drift, but also that there is a 24FPS but not 23.976. I know 24 is film, but most people shoot everything for video which is 23.976 in the US, and most of Apple’s stuff should be for TV.

MacWorld on the A16 of the iPhone 14 Pro is really an A15+

Jason Cross at Macworld has a really interesting article on the new A16 for the iPhone 14 Pro.

It seems it isn’t even really a 4 nanometer process, but an enhanced 5 Nanometer Process, just running faster with faster memory, but with none of what was expected for the A16.

And if the true A16 is delayed, it also might explain why the M2 for the MacPro is delayed and why Apple might not hit the 2 year mark on the Mac Pro moving to Apple Silicon.
