- redrighthand, on 08/28/2008, -1/+34As cheap as 6MP pocket cams are would you really risk killing your iPhone?
- cricketsymphony, on 08/28/2008, -4/+23Jemaine: I think you might have ruined my phone when you made me that camera-phone... and my camera.
- Flight of the Conchords, 2007 - Fiyerstorm, on 08/28/2008, -2/+13This is just swell because I want delicious macro images at 2 MP... o_0
- etruscan, on 08/28/2008, -1/+10My lyrics are bottomless...
Sometimes when I freestyle I loss confidence. - Anigma, on 08/28/2008, -0/+7Thats a bit too hardcore..
- mattyd12466, on 08/28/2008, -0/+7im pretty sure a true macro is 1:1 against the size of the sensor
- profJohn, on 08/29/2008, -0/+6If you can't open it, you don't own it.
- Ryanx0r, on 08/28/2008, -0/+6Well, the guy has balls cracking open his expensive iPhone just like that. I mean, for what it's worth.. he may have found nothing worth fiddling with and *may* have trashed his phone. Lucky that's not the case, and lucky hackers have money along side a good pair of balls (which may or may not still be in tact;) )
- StanC, on 08/28/2008, -1/+6Its neat. But seriously, the iphone's camera should have auto focus to begin with.
- wiifm69, on 08/28/2008, -0/+5Link to the actual article http://www.eastrain.com/?p=73
- jeffkee, on 08/28/2008, -0/+5Yeah I think that's what he meant.
- btbtravis, on 08/28/2008, -0/+4haha yeah more like $200
- waydee, on 08/28/2008, -0/+4And a flash
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -1/+5Or just buy a real camera
- MOJIRA, on 08/28/2008, -1/+5Dugg because it's interesting, but come on, totally impractical and somewhat pointless.
- Kamacurus, on 08/28/2008, -6/+9now its almost worth $400......almost
- BinderGang, on 08/28/2008, -0/+3Can we just get one of those talked about video camera applications up in the App store already? Sheesh.
- l2OI3, on 08/28/2008, -0/+2I assume doing this would make the camera useless for taking normal pictures, yes?
- inactive, on 08/29/2008, -1/+3It's "none the less" dumb ass
- kuyman, on 08/28/2008, -0/+2Am I the only nerd on here that just wants to lock it in at a hyperfocal so everything's always in focus, even better than at infinity? Am I going for a second bury for today because you guys have no idea what I'm talking about?
- AlexWiggy, on 08/28/2008, -2/+4Technically not actually a true macro camera, macro lenses have 2:1 view ratios (or higher), meaning they make detail visible that isn't actually visible to the human eye.
Non-the-less seems a cool little "hack". - WELLDOITLIVE, on 08/28/2008, -1/+3I'm the, hiphopopotomus
- l2OI3, on 08/28/2008, -0/+2How far away would the hyperfocal be on a camera that small anyway?
- supersteve, on 08/28/2008, -1/+2i am not sure i want to do this with my iphone just yet... in all seriousness thou I have been blown away by how good the iPhone's camera looks when used in bright light. Thou on the flip side it does not fare well in darker situations. But this is solved by shining a bring light into the persons face...
- DVision2406, on 08/28/2008, -1/+2HI HATER!!!!

INNER CITY PRESSURE - ronintetsuro, on 08/28/2008, -1/+2Voids the warranty? What warranty?
- modelchick8806, on 08/29/2008, -0/+1That's just trifling.
- harryterry, on 08/29/2008, -0/+1this is completely useless for regular iPhone users...so if i want to take a close picture i have to disassemble my phone and adjust the camera and then put it back to the regular setting?? i think not....
- NOFXY, on 08/28/2008, -1/+2isn't it kind of well known that cameras in general are good in bright light situations and suck ass in dim conditions?... i don't see what there is to be blown away by unless your iPhone gives amazing BJs.
- AlexWiggy, on 08/29/2008, -1/+2Do you people have a life?
Thought not, what's wrong with tripling together a commonly said saying, that ideally is said faster?
*****:) - DeathJux, on 08/28/2008, -2/+2People people paper paper people people paper paper
- chesscat, on 08/28/2008, -1/+1Now if he could turn into an electric razor and a vibrator that would be awesome.
- drgirlfriend, on 08/29/2008, -2/+2"non-the-less"?? Do you people even think before you type? Or, at the very least, Google?
- GIFF3, on 08/28/2008, -2/+2haha your to poor to own one.
- DubiousDrewski, on 08/29/2008, -1/+1Totally impractical and pointless? You're not really into photography, are you. This is a somewhat important hack for anyone wanting some control of the camera in their Iphone. The focal point is stuck at infinity by default, I mean, come on.
- mayonaize, on 08/28/2008, -1/+1Can't he replace it with a bigger rez camera whilst he's at it? Or is that just impossible?
- rowlodge, on 08/29/2008, -2/+1what the hell are you supposed to take a picture of?
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -10/+3An iPhone that does something usefull, that's a change.
- MaxIsBored, on 08/28/2008, -10/+2I'm getting really ***** tired of iPhone ***** on the front page every day.
