Apple just took the wraps off its hotly anticipated iPhone 5s and the big news about this new smartphone -- along with it being offered in a somewhat controversial gold color -- is its significantly upgraded camera features. For starters, the phone is powered by a new A7 processor, which is a 64-bit chip that should make...
When we first heard about an annual awards competition for iPhone photography, we were a little skeptical. There's so much iPhoneography out there these days and so much of it is…meh.

Apple has just been awarded a patent that could turn the very act of using an off-camera flash into a social activity.
