Wine spill

A very good smelling spill. The iPhone oddity emerges again!

By the way: All of my mobile photos are taken with an original, first-edition, Apple iPhone and then sent via email to my Web site.

   I’ve had a similar thing happen once or twice with my iPhone too.

   So I took a second shot immediately after:

   I have only seen this since the 2.x.x firmware update.

   And we’re not the only ones:

   My thoughts on the issue: The iPhone’s camera has no moving parts, so all of the focusing/contrast stuff is done via SW algorithim. That code must have been improved in the 2.x.x fimrware version, which seems to have introduced a bug.

   Myron: Yeah, I’ve had this happen many, many times. I think your assumption that it was updated and introduced a bug is correct. I’m not sure if I want them to remove it though.

   Flickr has an iPhone cubism group dedicated to these photos.
