Before you buy

Requires Wi-Fi and the Aura app for setup and uploads. Photos only: no video or Live Photo playback. Image changes take about 30 seconds and flash while refreshing, so this is not a fast slideshow frame. Aura’s up-to-three-month battery claim assumes one photo change per day; more frequent updates shorten battery life.
