Federico Viticci at MacStories has unveiled a new version of his Apple Frames shortcut. As we highlighted last week, Federico battled some frustrating technical challenges in getting this up and running…
Apple Frames puts your screenshots in the physical frames of your Apple devices. The latest version of Apple Frames adds support for the latest batch of Apple devices:
- 11” and 13” M4 iPad Pro
- iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro lineup
- 42mm and 46mm Apple Watch Series 10
You can download the shortcut on the MacStories website. Federico’s story also has an in-depth explanation of the technical logistics of updating Apple Frames for iOS 18.
Here are the details of the issue: occasionally – seemingly with no clear pattern – iOS and iPadOS 18 capture screenshots in 16-bit Display P3, which means they support a wide color gamut and higher dynamic range. Sometimes, however, screenshots are still captured in the old format, 8-bit sRGB. There is no way to tell these different types of screenshots apart since the Photos app lumps them all together as PNG files in the same Screenshots collection.
I’m thrilled and thankful that Federico got Apple Frames working with Apple’s newest hardware. It’s a crucial tool to my workflow.
