![]() Live Photos can be used as lock screen wallpapers on the new iPhones, but the motion is so stuttery that it isn’t as compelling as I’d hoped after Apple’s presentation. I would love to see the 12fps frame rate increase, or at least provide an option if storage is the issue. It’s like pairing an iPhone 6s photo with an iPhone 3GS video. The 12MP still photo dramatically contrasts with the dated, stuttering video footage wrapped around it. It’s noticeable on 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screens, and it’s just not pretty on even larger displays like iPads and Macs. The video captured during a Live Photo is both low-resolution and low in frame rate (12fps), so the footage plays back with a murky but somewhat dreamy look. Apple marks a Live Photo with a special icon in the image’s corner. Older iPhones can play shared Live Photos by long pressing the still images. The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus let you watch Live Photos only by 3D Touching (deep pressing) the still photo. Note that Apple won’t call a Live Photo a video, and iOS doesn’t treat Live Photos like videos. That means 1.5 seconds of video and audio are captured both before and after you tap the shutter button and snap the picture. Okay, so what is a Live Photo exactly?

Sharing Live Photos is fairly fragmented by Apple standards, even on Macs running the latest versions of OS X El Capitan. Low-light photos are noticeably less vibrant when Live Photos are enabled. Shoot a Live Photo in the wrong orientation then rotate it, and you’ll revert back to a standard photo. The video shot in a Live Photo is a mediocre 12 frames per second, compared to the 30fps iPhones generally capture.
