Photos taken with Apple iPhone

Someone is claiming that they posted photos taken with the iPhone. The
EXIF information indicates Apple iPhone and the orientation of the
phone when it took the picture.

Yes, the EXIF info is still in the larger picture shown, and the quality
of the image, for a camera phone, is very good. But not the subject. Ugh.

Of course, it could be all trumped up, but it doesn't seem out of the
park in terms of what it does. Auto rotation. Whoopee.

Truly. If the pictures were pulled of Flickr you can certainly see why.
This is not the sort of thing that makes the iPhone look good. If I was
in Apple marketing I would be countering with some truly beautiful
photography taken with the iPhone.

Agreed. That makes it likely that Apple wasn't involved with the leak,
if indeed these are iPhone pix. Although the pic is probably better than
average than the typical camera phone snap, subject matter included!

One can easily take a bad picture, even with a professional grade
camera. One bad picture taken with a camera doesn't prove anything
about the camera, especially if the picture has been posted on the internet!
