Tired Of Overedited iPhone Photos? Adobe Launches Free Camera App For iPhone—Built By Pixel Camera Creators
New Delhi: Have you ever felt like your iPhone Photos look a bit too bright or overly edited? Adobe has launched a new iPhone-only camera app called Project Indigo. The app has been built by the same team behind Google's Pixel camera. Unlike typical smartphone apps, it offers more manual control and aims to deliver a DSLR-style photo experience. It's free to download on the App Store for now. More Natural, True-to-Life Photos Adobe says its new app, Indigo, aims to deliver more natural, true-to-life images—closer to what you'd get from a DSLR. There's less smoothing, less over-sharpening, and the colour adjustments are subtle, avoiding that overly edited 'HDR' look common in regular phone cameras. Full Manual Camera Controls Indigo gives you full manual control over your camera settings like focus, shutter speed, ISO, and white balance. You can choose to shoot in JPEG or RAW (DNG), and even decide how many frames the app captures for each shot. Why does that matter? Because Indigo uses advanced tech to blend up to 32 images into one, helping reduce noise and keep all the details sharp. Night Mode & Long Exposure for Creative Shots Indigo also includes a Night mode that suggests longer exposures in low light, helping you get clearer shots in the dark. There's even a Long Exposure setting to create smooth, motion-blur effects—perfect for capturing waterfalls, flowing traffic, or glowing city lights. Clearer Zoomed-In Shots Adobe says with Indigo, zoomed-in photos will look much clearer and less blurry. Instead of guessing what the image should look like using AI, the app uses a clever trick called multi-frame super-resolution—it quickly snaps several shots when you zoom and blends them together to give you a sharper, more detailed photo. Adobe is also working on a live preview feature, which will let you see how your edited photo will look right in the viewfinder—before you even press the shutter. That could totally change the way people frame and shoot photos on their phones.

Major updates in Live Translation: feature works without iPhone, API support for developers
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 9, 2025, 23:07 IST Apple has announced a significant leap in real-time language support with the introduction of Live Translation in iOS 26 — and the big news is: it works even when the other person doesn't have an iPhone. Apple WWDC 2025 live: Live Translation breaks the iPhone-only barrier With Live Translation, users can now have real-time conversations across languages, even when the other person is using a non-Apple device. This update removes a long-standing limitation, making the feature more inclusive and globally useful. The tool uses on-device intelligence and works seamlessly with AirPods, allowing users to listen and understand foreign languages on the go — from travel to casual conversations. Apple WWDC 2025 live: API support opens door for developers Apple also introduced a new Live Translation API, allowing third-party developers to integrate translation features into their apps. This gives travel, education, customer service, and messaging apps access to Apple's real-time translation engine with privacy and performance benefits of on-device processing. This is part of Apple's broader push under Apple Intelligence to expand its language and accessibility tools across the entire ecosystem.

PayPal launches iPhone NFC payments in Germany after EU forced Apple to open up
German iPhone users are starting to report that they're now able to use PayPal's tap-to-pay feature at in-store payment terminals, according to German tech site iPhone Ticker. The new capability, which PayPal announced earlier this month, is a result of the EU forcing Apple to open iPhone NFC chips up for third-party contactless payments under the Digital Markets Act. PayPal's contactless wallet works with terminals that support Mastercard payments and is iPhone-only for now, so it won't work on an Apple Watch, iPhone Ticker reports (via a machine translation). In December, a Norwegian payment app called Vipps became the first to take advantage of Apple's changing ecosystem, nearly a year after Apple first announced it was opening up its NFC hardware to third-party wallet apps for EU users last year. Apple hasn't only opened iPhone tap-to-pay to the EU. It announced in August that it would let developers offer in-app NFC-based payments in the US and other regions, too. The company also allows businesses to use iPhone NFC readers to accept contactless payments in third-party apps, which is a capability PayPal started offering in Venmo and PayPal Zettle in March last year.
