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?

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