Apple is preparing iPhone users for the discontinuation of iPhoto<\/a> with a new migration tool. Those who are running the developer preview of iOS 8<\/strong> are receiving a warning message that iPhoto is not supported and offers the option to migrate to Photos. There’s also a “Learn More” link, which appears to be dead at the moment.<\/p>\n

\"iPhotoApple warns text added to Books, Journals and Slideshows in iPhoto may not function properly after migration. Photos will most likely discontinue these features in favor of a simplified photo editing experience<\/strong>. iPhoto has grown bloated and slow over the years, languishing with infrequent updates.<\/p>\n

The new Photos app has yet to appear in the iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite beta<\/a> so we don’t know know well the app works yet. Apple will most likely streamline Photos to be a lightweight photo editor, stripping it of unnecessary features. The facial recognition software present in iPhoto may disappear too.<\/p>\n

Apple is also discontinuing its professional photograph app, Aperture<\/a>. The company is working with Adobe to create a migration tool<\/strong> to Adobe’s Lightroom program.<\/p>\n

Apple hasn’t nailed down a specific release date for the Photos app, only saying it’ll come “early next year.”<\/p>\n
