Five things to know about the iPhone 6s “Live Photos” format

Among the new features introduced by
l’iPhone 6s, there is one that Apple
named "Live Photos" or animated photos.

This is a photo that will record 3 seconds of video (image + sound)
before and after photo, and combine everything into one photo. In
now with your finger pressed on it, it will come to life briefly to give
life in photography.

It will be possible to view "Live Photos" from an iPhone, iPad, Mac,
and even an Apple Watch, provided that everyone has the latest OS.

This type of animated shots already existed at HTC or in other forms on
the web.
