“As anyone who follows our regular series of ‘Test Photo’ features knows, we enjoy checking out pictures captured by unreleased phones,” Evan Blass reports for Pocketnow.
“The holy grail of such a pursuit is, of course, tracking down an image from the next iPhone,” Blass reports. “And we think that we’ve found one.”

Blass reports, “This (very attractive) photo claims to have been taken by an iPhone 4, but the rest of its EXIF data tells a different story: although the image has been cropped to 2235×2291 (5.12 megapixels), the original picture was a much larger 3264×2448 — or just shy of eight megapixels. What’s more, the lens was recorded as a 4.3mm f/2.4, which is closer to that of a point-and-shoot than the iPhone 4’s actual 3.85mm f/2.8… It was supposedly shot by an Apple engineer eating his lunch at work.”

How come when I take the occasional picture with my iPhone 4 it comes out all shitty and blurry? The biggest problem I find is camera shake.
Hmmmm, the rice looks kinda grainy….
For a debut iPhone 5 image, I wish they’d used better lighting as well as a bit of subject dressing. Very bland and amateur. (I’m an imaging expert as well as snob). 😉
There aren’t enough of us.
*shrug.
Ah, the old bait and switch….
