I can't use your products anymore.

I want to express my frustration with Apple consistently deviating from industry standards. With 42 years of experience as a professional photographer, 20 years as a videographer, and 33 years in IT, dealing with the HEIC image format, which lacks widespread support, is exasperating. The same goes for the ProRes color codecs that are not universally supported. Apple, it's time to acknowledge these issues. After years of loyalty, I'm considering abandoning your devices because your insistence on being different means that nobody can effectively use the images and movies outside of your product ecosystem – rendering them essentially worthless!

So it's because of what I said above that I don't even use your phone anymore. Maybe send a couple texts a week and mainly make phone calls that's it. It used to be handy to take a quick video or a picture or two. But with your current formats when I bring them in the da Vinci resolve the colors aren't even close and I'm really into accurate colors kind of sad.
