The iPhone needs glasses
Yes, it's true: the iPhone actually needs spectacles to correct its vision on close-up shots. Otherwise they get blurry.
Now, this isn't a problem for the regular family meeting group shots, BUT, if you're into REALLY futuristic stuff, you'll realize that the Apple design crew missed an important point: by not choosing a lens with auto-focus, they crippled the iPhone's vision to a point it performs text-recognition badly, or not at all.
Text-recognition? Yes, the iPhone does text-recognition. It does stuff like "reading" a business card, or "identifying" a product from a bar-code, or simply "opening" physical-links. These are all actions that are available in several apps from the App Store.
