I don’t have iphone 16, and this article puzzles me.

Is apple only using jxl for their “raw” camera capture, but not regular camera capture?? The non-raw use case seems to be the one that would have more impact to regular folks.

Why? Is jxl inferior to HEIC?

DNG spec added JPEG-XL as their modern codec. Both lossy and lossless modes are significantly better than the other 3 allowed codecs (JPEG, lossless JPEG, and zip.)

ProRAW files are large, so there's more potential to save space, making ProRAW a more attractive feature to use for a wider audience.
