Got an early demo of this and the focus seemed to definitely be on photo management, which I don't think anyone's done really well. It's a beautiful app. Should be interesting to see if the market likes it, as I think that'll determine how much autonomy the Flickr team maintains going forward.
Notable updates:
- Auto upload setting (competing with Dropbox/Carousel, Apple, Google, etc in an attempt to become the cloud storage for all your mobile photos)
- Timeline view of your photos (like Apple Photos and Carousel)
- Share to Instagram (no longer forcing you to keep your photos within Flickr)
Overall I like the new design. They did pack a ton into this app, probably too much (do I really need to search all of Flickr from mobile, maybe?). Creation is still not a priority, it's more about managing your photos. Doesn't seem like Flickr cares to be your go-to camera app. If they get enough users to turn on auto-upload, maybe they don't need that. Their goal seems to be to replace your photo album app rather than the camera.
