VSCO made a new way to shoot photos on your iPhone
VSCO has become known for the array of filters available within its photo and video editing platform, but with Capture, you can control its effects in real-time. The app comes with 58 real-time VSCO presets, while offering manual controls that let you control shutter speed, apply a bloom or halation effect, adjust exposure, and more.
You can also choose to shoot photos in RAW and ProRAW, as well as transfer photos to VSCO's main image editing app for access to more tools. Halide offers a similar iPhone app that gives users more control over their camera, and also includes a feature that strips photos of AI processing.
VSCO first started testing Capture in Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand in June, but now it's officially available to download for free on the App Store.

The fund returned 26.0% (net) in the second quarter compared to a 21.9% return for the benchmark, MSCI ACWI Info Tech and Communication Services Index.

Technology Innovators initiated a position in Apple in June 2024 based on the view that the combination of Apple's integrated hardware, voice-activated assistant, and consumer data positioned the business well to deliver artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled personalized assistant capabilities and to collect tolls on the expansion of AI enabled applications that we expected to scale alongside computing power. Since then, we see limited evidence that Apple has effectively leveraged AI to accelerate device replacement cycles or reignite Services growth by enhancing developer-facing AI functionality.

Best Home Security Cameras for Apple HomeKit and Siri in 2025
Today's home security cameras come packed with features, not to mention testing out compatibility with the Apple Home app. We test in several different ways in our homes and CNET offices to really check out everything these cameras can down. Set up and camera quality As we set up cameras, we pay close attention to their design and how fragile or durable it is, as well as what features they have -- for example, how easy it is to change batteries or insert a microSD card. And, of course, we spend extra time with the camera lens itself, seeing how it moves and what the image quality is like. If a camera has a 2K resolution, for example, we expect it's live view to be crisp and clear even when expanded. We test for camera image latency and connection reliability when remote viewing, too. App controls and design Even if you plan on using the Apple Home app for more of your work, you'll still need to use the camera app for some setup and extra features that Apple may not support. So it's important that the app have good instructions and an intuitive design, with menus and settings that are easy to access. We watch for warning signs like confusing multi-menu steps, ads in the app, and features that aren't supported well when they should be, like the ability to adjust motion sensitivity. Apple connections and feature support For an Apple cam, connections to the Apple app and Siri controls are very important. So we check how easy it is to add Apple functionality and what features are supported directly in Apple Home. We make sure Siri can control important functions with voice commands as well. And as we test over several days, we watch for dropped connections or bugs from the platform. If the camera supports connections with other home routines, we also see if can be set up easily in a routine and perform as expected. Aqara's sensors have some compatibility with Apple Home but I found it quite limited compared to other options. Tyler Lacoma/CNET Night vision and audio Most cameras have extra features like night vision and two-way audio, so we dig into capabilities like that and check to see how they perform. Night vision across 10 feet is pretty easy -- but how does it do at 30 or 40 feet? Can it see across a yard or large room with high quality? Likewise, we listen to two-way audio and test out conversations, not just up close but from a distance, checking on audio clarity and how easily it picks up random noise. Motion detection and AI object recognition If a camera supports motion detection, we see how well it works and if we can adjust sensitivity to reasonable levels so it doesn't trigger too easily. We also check out any available AI features, like the option to recognize a human or a package, as well as ignore things like pets.
