As someone already posted, Apple does things for the “long view”. With billions of dollars in the bank, they could care less whether they are #1 this year, or even next year for that matter. When taken as part of the entire company, one section can lose money for a long time. Heck the original Apple TV was referred to for years as just a “side gig” ... something they were just playing around with. In any event, I truly don’t care if there is a break out hit as almost EVERYTHING I watch on AppleTV keeps me focused. Yeah, See bogged down ... but I thought it was still better than just about anything on any other network. I find myself, when looking for something new to watch, drifting back to AppleTV over and over. My wife and I are truly enjoying watching various series together. For All Mankind is actually something my entire family sits and watches. So did AppleTV “knock it out of the park”? Probably not. But they made a compelling service that has slowly drawn us in. Like Apple Maps, taking their time, slowly improving, and one day ... maybe three years, maybe five years ... we will look up and see them suddenly in the front.

I actually LOVE this.  I guess I am one of those people who never understood the “old” way precisely because the Camera icon is used to launch the Camera and the Photos icon to launch photos.  However I watch people DAILY who still launch the camera to get to their photos ... and never knew there was even a Photos icon.

More importantly for me, when using the Camera inside of iMessages right now, the photo you take will NOT automatically save to the Photos app.  Instead it stays inside the iMessage app.  You have to select it then save it to the phone so other apps can access it.  Its one of the things I dislike the most because it’s NOT intuitive.

With this change, that will no longer be the case ... when you take a pic, it will save to the Photos section and if you want it from ANY app, including iMessage, you will get it by going to Photos.
