Halide, an iOS photography app packed with features from manual mode to Anti-AI settings, is embroiled in a legal battle between the company’s two founders. But, while the lawsuit isn’t aimed against Apple, the case itself has a few behind-the-scenes hints that improving the built-in camera app is “a top priority” for Apple.
A new legal battle came to light this week between the two co-founders of Lux Optics, the company behind apps like Halide and Kino. Co-Founder and CEO Ben Sandofsky has levied allegations against fellow co-founder Sebastiann de With, including claims of improperly using company funds for personal expenses, as well as taking confidential materials with him when he took a new job at Apple in January.
