I have been searching for an Apple product that is specifically for viewing photos from my iCloud. I don’t want to use an iPad as this is far too costly for simply viewing photos. I have been searching for an Apple photos frame but it seems to be non-existent. I I want to be able to log into iCloud from an Apple product and view my photos. Does anyone know if this exists? Thank you.
iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17
DO you mean as a stand alone hardware device, like a photo frame? It doesn't exist. Apple make computers, iPhones and iPads.
Can't AppleTV do this? Though you need a TV, of course.
You could get a 1st gen iPad mini off eBay. Should be cheap and probably does what you need. I got one for free when my employer threw the old iPads out. Reuse is better than going to landfill or tech-shredder.
The problem with products for a very limited use case (such as a photo frame) is that they're hard to keep people interested in them, hard to update without blowing out the core offering (namely viewing photos), costly to start a new product line with uncertain future. An early iPad does probably exactly what you need.
There is no such Apple product.
I liked Keith Barkley's Apple TV idea! Just looking around, I saw on Amazon that they have a 24 inch Smart TV for $60! So for under $200 you get a large digital frame that does way more than that!
(Oddly, a 14 inch TV costs $100. A 15 inch digital frame costs $60-$110. )
And Yer_Man, add TV's to your list!
You need to share this where Apple sees these kinds of suggestions.

You can get a small monitor for the kitchen.
Yes, I thought as much. I figured Apple were the first ones to come up with Music in a pod. Imagery is such a huge part of our life now I was hoping Apple would come out with an Apple photo frame. Put it on my Santa list.
Thank you so much for all of your replies. I appreciate it.

And watches-- don't forget watches! Maybe rings?
It seems like something Apple could make! How hard would it be? A number of frames I see on Amazon do connect to the internet through wifi, and you can send pictures directly from your iPhone.
I think you ought to suggest it to them, here:
Unfortunately, Apple doesn't pay for unsolicited product ideas…
Hi Richard. Yes, I see there are so many other frames to choose from. What annoys me is the sending photos to another device. Copies of photos everywhere! More space used up in the world running out of space to place servers etc. I crave for an apple device that I can simply log into my iCloud photos and boom, there they are. Even the possibility of choosing albums, particular people or all images. Imagine gifting grandparent's withe a digital photo frame where all images of their kids and grandchildren are the only photos that get sent to their device. Magical :)
Hello
Yes, I believe it can and. We’ve just purchased Apple TV. I’m yet to install it.
However, the TV is not in a place that we all sit and congregate. If we do, we are watching TV.
I’d like this device on a wall somewhere more central like the kitchen
Still looking for a device from Apple that is simply a device to show only photos ❤️♥️❤️
Hey there.
Yes exactly like that. A digital picture frame that I can log into my iCloud and I can see all of my photos.
You're right but have you ever tried editing a NEF on your watch?
;)
I'd buy it. Of course, it would cost twice as much… and be three times as fun.
Seems like some folks on here have forgotten the meaning of the word "specifically"...
;)
An Apple product specifically for viewing photos
