Bet you thinking the 2.0-megapixel camera in your iPhone was little more than a barely decent taw destined to return blurry shots forever. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. But, that doesn’t mean the iPhone photographic camera can’t be improved. A act of tooling around with the iPhone OS 3.0 has shown that the current iPhone computer hardware is actually capable of taking much improved photos.
The iPhone and iPhone 3G’s 2MP photographic camera isn’t exactly going to get any identification for taking high quality photos (aside from a few exceptions), but new grounds suggests that Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s second-generation iPhone OS (currently iPhone OS 2.2.1) is actually to blame for pickings not-so-stellar pics. iPhones.ru decided to pit an iPhone 3G running iPhone OS 3.0 against an iPhone 3G run iPhone OS 2.2.1 to see if the new firmware could improve on the iPhone 3G’s painting-pickings abilities. Turns out, after 30 repeated tests, the current 2MP camera in the iPhone is capable of taking some fairly impressive photos!
The disclosure that the iPhone photographic camera be improved through code alone is a bit of a surprise, especially since the next-generation iPhone’s photographic camera is expected to get a nice little specification-bump to 3.2-megapixels.
