is JPEG-XL really an upgrade over HEIC?

Section in the article: “The iPhone 16 family could let you shoot in JPEG-XL” I’m with you. No normal person is waiting for this. Are any techies? Like maybe 2? The article says the JPEG would be a third the size they are now. OK. That’s nice. But only 12.5% of Internet users can seem ‘em. All of ‘em Apple users. https://caniuse.com/?search=jpeg-xl So what’s the point? Just use HEIC. It’s supported by the exact same…

That's a positive for Apple. "Why can't I view the new family pics?" "Oh mom you need to get an iPhone for that"

In addition to the compression, JPEG-XL has some nice features that make it better image format. It also does lossless compression. It does color spaces.

One cool feature is that can losslessly convert JPEG into JPEG-XL. And back to JPEG. I can't tell if this applies to all or only converted ones, but it might make good source format and convert to JPEG on export.

I want a phone that lets you shoot PNG

Why? PNG is really a bad format for photos (simply was not designed for this use case)

JPEG-XL has a lossless mode if that's what you're after ...

The JPEG-XL test page (linked in the article), works well.

https://jpegxl.info/test-page/

At the bottom of the page it has animation demonstration, that doesn’t appear to work on my iPhone 13 Pro.

Does JPEG-XL really include animation support?
