I’ve done it folks… I do believe I have devised the speediest means of rendering single-capture iPhone mockups.
I took Federico Viticci’s [Apple Frames 2.0](https://www.macstories.net/ios/apple-frames-2-0-faster-lighter-and-featuring-support-for-iphone-13-ipad-mini-ipad-10-2-imac-24-macbook-air-and-multiple-languages/) and made the following modifications:
1. I deleted all of the annotations in `Comment` form. They’re a testament to Federico’s diligence and huge contribution to personal automation with iOS… but they’re also just extra text.
2. I replaced the `Find Photos Where` action with `Get Latest Photos` with the `Include Screenshots` toggle ON and the retrieval limit set to just one.
3. I deleted the entire export preferences menu and replaced it with actions that save the result both to a specific Photos folder for frames and a corresponding iCloud Drive folder.
The [resulting shortcut](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/d70654c055ee41bd8f72ebf0c29e0fa5) takes around 5-7 seconds to produce a single mocked up frame on my iPhone 12 Pro Max running iOS 15.3 beta after it’s triggered, and I think most of that is spent displaying the requisite notifications.
See my post coming soon to https://bilge.world if you’d like to know how I rigged it up with Back Tap :)
Up until now I hadn’t timed Federico’s shortcut, but across a couple of tests today on the same device in its default configuration (aside from the initial language selection,) it required 90 seconds or more to produce the same result.
This isn’t a new development, actually, but - now that finally understand how to physically trigger Back Tap :)
