I didn't realize that you could search for things on Apple Photos. That's the main reason why I use Google Photos, because its search capabilities are amazing.

I didn't realize that you could search for things on Apple Photos. That's the main reason why I use Google Photos, because its search capabilities are amazing. When I search for "chicken" it returns both fried chicken, raw chicken and actual chickens. I'll have to check The thing I don't like about Apple Photos is that when you sync with your Apple TV 4K, you can't actually play 4K 60 fps videos on your TV. I don't know why that is, but it won't work. That's extremely disappointing to me, and I don't understand what the reason is, unless the AppleTV 4K is underpowered.

Lots of details about Apple TV 4k video playback at https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/21/16341876/new-apple-tv-4k-review-2017 https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/21/16341876/new-apple-tv-4k-...

  Thanks. I just read the article and it's interesting but I think it's old. I do believe that you can match the frame rate with the original source in AppleTV now, and it also supports Dolby Atmos. Unfortunately my Sonos doesn't which is a real bummer. The biggest issue for me is that I can upload a 4K video at 60 fps on Photos but it comes out terribly, with stuttering and looks terrible. It defeats the purpose of using 4K60 on the iPhone is you can't actually view it on a TV.

The Photos app in Windows 10 has the same capability. And the Apple and Microsoft apps are totally offline, unlike Google Photos.

  Is the Windows 10 one truly offline or does it eventually phone home in some way? Genuinely asking out of curiosity.

    The classification model runs offline. I can say this because i had it classify a lot of pics while I was out on a trip with no internet. But i do think it fetches newer models given the chance.

      I am okay with it fetching models my issue is it uploading my files without consent. Thanks for sharing I had no doubt they would do this I just would like to know the whole picture. I am sick of companies just uploading things without consent. What if I am a competitor? Now you stole my IP.

      I'm pretty sure classification happens locally for Apple as well. They call it "on-device machine learning". It doesn't mention it for MacOS photos but I can see `photoanalysisd` running in the background on my Mac. https://www.apple.com/ios/photos/ https://www.apple.com/ios/photos/

You can do that in iOS with your photos library (and offline too).
