Apple's Live Photos feature is actually a small video

To complement the new 3D Touch technology on the iPhone 6s screen, Apple added a unique Live Photos feature to the iPhone 6s and demonstrated this feature at the launch event. Although everyone looked left and right and up and down and thought it was just a way to shoot short videos or GIF images, some media outlets that got a real retail version of the iPhone 6s recently said: Live Photos are indeed short videos.

According to Techcrunch, the so-called Live Photos are actually composed of two files: one is a 12-megapixel JPG photo file, and the other is a 15-frame MOV format video. The combined file can currently be viewed on iOS 9, watchOS 2, and OS X El Capitan, but when the file is transferred to a device that does not support the Live Photos function, only one JPG photo file will appear. On older versions of OS X, the combined file will be saved as two files, while on iPhone 6 upgraded to iOS 9, it will appear as a video file.

It seems that Live Photos is not a new feature that will change the world. No wonder many foreign media think that Live Photos is dispensable. In other words, as is popular in China: RBL.
