Apple Acquires Mobile Photo Startup SnappyLabs

snappycam-pro-snappycam1-1-s-307x512Apple and many other larger companies are continuously acquiring startups, many of which have developed great apps we’ve featured, so it’s no surprise that SnappyLabs was snapped up by Apple so quickly – there were many offers coming from multiple companies to purchase the one-man company who developed the app SnappyCam, probably the fastest mobile camera app around.

Built by John Papandriopoulos, the app gave the iPhone camera some great features for burst mode photography. The app utilized great jpeg formatting that allowed the phone to compress images much faster than without the app, which meant users can get great shots of movements without losing quality.
