Episode 219: Can a Strong Magnet Disrupt Your iPhone Camera?
Show notes
We’d never heard of this before, but it’s possible that a strong magnet -- like on an accessory that takes advantage of Apple’s MagSafe feature -- could mess with your iPhone’s camera, according to Engadget. We also talk about the possibility of overriding the iPhone’s frame-blending pipeline by setting a manual shutter speed, the curious case of the Apple HomeView, and Kirk is shopping for a new lens.
