Seems to be just a rumor, but one that I hope is true. I also hope they use it as an opportunity to finally fix the longstanding ugly wart of having Live Photos be a separate .MOV file sitting alongside the HEIC file. JPEG XL is a container format so it should be possible to include the MOV as a separate box alongside the jxlc data and exif metadata. Of course, HEIF had the same capability and they still didn’t use it.

Technically they could already do this as JPEG allows adding arbitrary data to the file after the image data. ZIP files allow arbitrary data BEFORE the image data, therefore a file can be a valid JPEG and ZIP at the same time. So all you need to do is to put the MOV into a ZIP and append that to the image file, done. Live Photos in a single file!

Btw., you can abuse the „unlimited“ „free“ photos storage that comes with Amazon Prime that way.

I might make a website about this sort of stuff!

You may enjoy the https://pocorgtfo.hacke.rs/ zine where every release is a polyglot file. Some of the PDFs are bootable systems, some are NES cartridges, etc.

That was indeed an inspiration for lab6.com.
