Smartphone cameras have become one of the selling points and most important parts of modern smartphones and with Apple iOS 7.1 having been recently released with a host of tweaks, bug fixes and upgrades, the camera becomes even more important.
While the camera isn't the first thing we will see when we see the list of changes and updates, there was definitely a change. There has been a new auto HDR (high dynamic range) function which will help with getting accurate shots of bright objects.
This new change brings relevance to accessories and add-ons for phones and if you're an iPhone user, there hasn't been a better time to invest in some tech for your smartphone camera. Apple has made capturing beautiful pictures easier again and with these accessories, it can only get better.
