Is this an iPhone 5 camera test photo?
Pocket Now has found what they think is an iPhone 5 camera test photo taken by an Apple engineer. What makes them so suspicious?
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 2235x2291 (5.12 megapixels), the original picture was a much larger 3264x2448 -- 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.
iPhone 5 has long been rumored to be getting an 8 megapixel camera, lets just hope Apple keeps prioritizing photons over size and we get a great sensor to go with it.

mmmmmm. sushi.
Mmmmm the other thing...lol
Who knew that the next iPhone would be taking "RAW" images?

bravo for that.
Just because an image contains EXIF data doesn't mean it's shooting RAW. Most modern digital cameras write EXIF data to the image.
That joke went well over you head.
lol how could you miss that joke ?! wow
Are you kidding me?
you sir, have no sense of humor.
I don't get it.
Sushi = raw.
That's going to be nice. I think it's embarrassing how bad the HTC cameras take pictures even with "supposed" better cameras than the iPhone 4.
Yeah HTCs camera parts are pretty bad. Apple's since the iP4 was good. Nokia wins all out in camera quality across phones.
My N95 had a Carl Zeiss lense. Good stuff and some great pics!
I loved my N95. The N95 and N82 had hands down the best camera quality for their time and still beat out most phone cameras today.
Oh man, I agree 100%. Nokia had the hardware right, IMO. Software became antiquated w/ the iPhone release.
I have a craving for sushi all of a sudden.
I'm not sure this photo seems fishy to me.
This would be awesome!
+1 for sensor updates, not just size.
No green spot in the center of the picture so not an iPhone LOL
I'm seeing a green spot (and, no, it's not my eyes -- I just had them checked last week).
You may be seeing green because of the green leave on the plate mayhaps? Definitely no spot in the middle though. Trust me. I'm near-sighted.
There is a green tint around the center, which makes me think that this is an iPhone 4 image. Could Apple be using the same processor/software and making iPhone5s with the same problem?
Wow, that photo is pretty nice. But for all that matters, this photo could be taken by any camera.
Even if it was taken with an iPhone 5, it still looks kind of blurry and dithered. Pining for the day when phone cameras match at least entry-level point-and-shoots.
Don't like the fact that they are making the lens less wide angle if this is true.
The image was cropped -- see text from article, above.
wouldn't that be nice
Remember.... there are only two things that smell like sushi and one of them is sushi.
Now I'm hoping the new phone ships with an included chop sticks app.
Just wondering if Apple will ever address the blue-green hue that is present in the center of pictures taken with the iPhone 4's camera (and this new camera, too, apparently)?
+1
I'm hungry.
