I love how Apple products will open up a VCF File in the Contacts App and import nearly all of the information successfully.However at the moment, the only format accepted for the PHOTO field is Base64.This can make for much larger VCF Files when the VCard Specification also includes an option for a Photo URI, allowing the data to be stored elsewhere and retrieved on opening of the VCard.It would be awesome if Apple Devices could recognize and retrieve Photos located at the VCF File's specified PHOTO URI Location to allow for more compact VCF files to be distributed in various formats.Here's an example of a VCard who's PHOTO option specifies a remote URI for the imageBEGIN:VCARDVERSION:3.0N:Gump;Forrest;;Mr.;FN:Forrest GumpORG:Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.TITLE:Shrimp ManPHOTO;TYPE=JPEG;VALUE=URI:https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/87/My_Dog_%2861220578%29.jpegTEL;TYPE=WORK,VOICE:(111) 555-1212TEL;TYPE=HOME,VOICE:(404) 555-1212ADR;TYPE=WORK,PREF:;;100 Waters Edge;Baytown;LA;30314;United States of AmericaLABEL;TYPE=WORK,PREF:100 Waters Edge\nBaytown\, LA 30314\nUnited States of AmericaADR;TYPE=HOME:;;42 Plantation St.;Baytown;LA;30314;United States of AmericaLABEL;TYPE=HOME:42 Plantation St.\nBaytown\, LA 30314\nUnited States of AmericaEMAIL:forrestgump@example.comREV:2008-04-24T19:52:43ZEND:VCARDThank you!
