We need to design the Apple Photos App. Our primary concern is not the app's UI/UX, but the client-side app backend. We are discussing how our app's backend works, integrating the UI and the server. How will we address the issue of displaying different image resolutions when the user clicks on them? How will we handle the implementation of scrolling for additional photos? What are the key requirements for our server-side connections?
