iPhone 16 could let you shoot in JPEG-XL
I can't imagine a PNG actually having a good compression ratio for photographic data. Better at that point to just shoot RAW.

Because of how PNG compresses images. The high detail will lead to large images, and at that point itβd be easier to save the RAW output of the camera, offload the images, and do any compression later.

Because png compression is optimized for images with few distinct colors and long runs of the same color. Photographs are not like that.
