VSCO doubles down on image filters with its 'Capture' camera app for iPhone
VSCO Capture: What's new
Live presets before you shoot
The app offers 58 real-time VSCO presets, including film-inspired styles and modern filters co-developed with professional photographers. Users can see exactly how their photo will look before they press the shutter – removing the guesswork from post-editing.
Manual camera controls
Capture includes manual control over key settings such as:
Shutter speed
Exposure
White balance
ISO
Focus
It also supports RAW and ProRAW formats for added flexibility in editing. Quick-access toggles make it easy to adjust flash and resolution while shooting.
Apply film effects in real time
A highlight feature is the ability to apply Bloom and Halation effects in real time. These effects replicate the soft haze and glowing light bleed of vintage film photography. The cinematic look is customisable, letting users tweak intensity, size, and range to suit their style – from subtle shimmer to bold, dreamlike glow.
Syncs with main VSCO app for deeper edits
Photos captured in VSCO Capture automatically sync with the main VSCO app, where users can access the platform's full editing toolkit. From there, images can be posted directly to a user's VSCO profile or shared across other social platforms.

India pips China as top smartphone supplier to US in Q2, 2025: Canalys
New Delhi, Jul 29 (PTI) India has emerged as the largest manufacturing hub for smartphones shipped into the US for the first time in Q2, 2025, as China's share shrunk amid tariff negotiations, according to Canalys. The research from Canalys (now part of Omdia) revealed that United States smartphone shipments grew 1 per cent in the second quarter of the current calendar year as vendors continued to frontload device inventories amid tariff concerns. The uncertain outcome of negotiations with China has accelerated supply chain reorientation, it said. The share of US smartphone shipments assembled in China fell to 25 per cent in the April-June period, from 61 per cent a year earlier. "Most of this decline has been picked up by India; the total volume of 'Made-in-India' smartphones grew 240 per cent year-on-year and now accounts for 44 per cent of smartphones imported into the US, up from only 13 per cent of smartphone shipments in Q2 2024," it said. In Q2, iPhone shipments declined 11 per cent year-on-year to 13.3 million units, a correction from the 25 per cent growth in Q1, 2025, as per Canalys. Samsung's shipments grew 38 per cent year-on-year to 8.3 million units. Motorola continued its expansion in the US, growing two per cent to 3.2 million units. Google and TCL rounded off the top five, with Google growing 13 per cent to 0.8 million while TCL declined 23 per cent, shipping 0.7 million units. "India became the leading manufacturing hub for smartphones sold in the US for the very first time in Q2 2025, largely driven by Apple's accelerated supply chain shift to India amid an uncertain trade landscape between the US and China," said Sanyam Chaurasia, Principal Analyst at Canalys. Apple has scaled up its production capacity in India over the last several years as a part of its 'China Plus One' strategy and has opted to dedicate most of its export capacity in India to supply the US market so far in 2025, Chaurasia said. "Apple has begun manufacturing and assembling Pro models of the iPhone 16 series in India, but is still dependent on established manufacturing bases in China for the scaled supply needed for Pro models in the US. Samsung and Motorola have also increased their share of US-targeted supply from India, although their shifts are significantly slower and smaller in scale than Apple's," Chaurasia said.

Apple to close Parkland Mall retail store, marks first closure in China
Apple Inc. is closing a retail store in China for the first time, marking a notable retreat in a market where the iPhone maker is striving to revive sales. Apple to mark first closure with Parkland Mall store shut down(REUTERS) The company said on Monday that it will shut its Parkland Mall store in the Zhongshan District of Dalian City on Aug. 9, citing a changing landscape at the shopping complex. It has about 56 stores in the Greater China region, making up over 10% of its footprint of more than 530 outlets globally. 'We're always focused on providing an exceptional experience for all of our customers both online and at more than 50 Apple Store locations across Greater China,' the Cupertino, California-based company said in a statement. 'Given the departure of several retailers at the Parkland Mall, we have made the decision to close our store there.' China is grappling with deflationary pressures as consumption wanes and global tariffs hurt exports, a major engine of the world's No. 2 economy. Retail sales growth has fallen short of forecasts, and home prices dropped at a faster pace in June. The closing store is one of two locations in Dalian City. The other, a store at the Olympia 66 shopping complex, remains open. Employees at the site that's closing will be given opportunities to work elsewhere, the company said. The two locations are roughly 10 minutes apart. More broadly, Apple has been looking to stage a comeback in China. Sales in the country fell 2.3% to $16 billion in the second quarter, which ended March 29. Analysts had predicted $16.8 billion. Apple is opening a new store at Uniwalk Qianhai in Shenzhen on Aug. 16. It's also planning additional locations in Beijing and Shanghai over the next year, Bloomberg News has reported. It opened a store in the Anhui province in January. The company is also expanding soon with new stores in Detroit, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and India. A location in Osaka opened on July 26, and a major new flagship store debuted in Miami in January. The company also opened its first store in Malaysia last year. While Apple is still adding new stores, overall retail expansion has slowed since the pandemic hit. Apple has instead focused on opening up its online retail store in new places, such as India and Saudi Arabia, and updating or moving older physical locations. The company also appears to be becoming more selective in renewing its leases, announcing plans to shutter a store in Bristol in the UK on same day as its closure in China. Other upcoming closures include the Partridge Creek store in Michigan and the Hornsby location near Sydney. Apple isn't the only major brand to back out of China's Parkland Mall. Earlier this year, the majority shareholder of the complex took full operational control, and retailers like Coach, Sandro and Hugo Boss haven't renewed their leases in recent years.

Apple To Close Retail Store In China For First Time; Details Here
Last Updated: iPhone maker Apple says its Parkland Mall store, located in the Zhongshan District of Dalian City, will shut its doors on August 9. iPhone maker Apple is closing one of its retail stores in China for the first time, signalling a rare retreat in a crucial market where the company has been working to revive its sales momentum. The company said its Parkland Mall store, located in the Zhongshan District of Dalian City, will shut its doors on August 9. Citing shifts at the shopping complex, Apple said, 'Given the departure of several retailers at the Parkland Mall, we have made the decision to close our store there." The Parkland Mall store is one of two Apple locations in Dalian. The other, situated in the Olympia 66 shopping centre about 10 minutes away, will continue operating. Apple added that employees from the closing store will be offered roles at other locations. In a statement, the company said, 'We're always focused on providing an exceptional experience for all of our customers both online and at more than 50 Apple Store locations across Greater China." Apple currently operates about 56 stores in the region, accounting for over 10% of its global retail presence. The move comes at a time when China's economy is under pressure from deflationary trends, weakening consumer demand, and declining home prices. Retail sales have underperformed expectations, and global tariffs continue to strain the country's export-led growth model. Apple's sales in China fell 2.3% year-on-year to $16 billion in the quarter ended March 29, falling short of analysts' estimates of $16.8 billion. Still, the company is continuing to invest in the Chinese market. A new store is set to open at Uniwalk Qianhai in Shenzhen on August 16, with more planned in Beijing and Shanghai over the next year. A location in Anhui province was inaugurated in January. Apple's global retail strategy remains in flux. While it continues to expand in key markets such as India, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States, the company is becoming more selective about its physical presence. Recent global closures include stores in Bristol (UK), Partridge Creek (Michigan), and Hornsby (Australia). Apple has also been emphasising online expansion, launching e-commerce operations in new markets like India and Saudi Arabia. The Parkland Mall exit mirrors a broader exodus by major international retailers. Brands such as Coach, Sandro, and Hugo Boss have reportedly not renewed their leases at the mall in recent years. Earlier this year, the majority shareholder of the complex assumed full operational control. While Apple continues to grow in select regions, the Parkland Mall closure underscores the company's evolving approach to retail, shaped by shifting market realities and changing consumer behaviour. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
