Live Photos still operates this way, but in 2017 Apple added a few new video/photo effects and transitions to make more use of the technology. Once done, it selects the one image from that collection of frames that it thinks is the best.

Live Photos was originally designed as a way to ensure that you don't miss the perfect shot when you snap a photo on your iPhone.
