A quick flick with our spudger disconnects the rear-facing camera.

The iPhone 4S turns up the heat with its new 8 megapixel camera.

We learned from Chipworks that the camera is made by Sony!

8 MP is great and all, but as we all know, it's not just about the tools; it's about how you use them. The iPhone 4S knows how to use every last one of those pixels.

Apple boasts 73% more light with "next-generation backside illumination" for better low-light performance. Want pictures fast? This camera is roughly 33% faster and can snap multiple photos less than a second apart.

Still pictures not your thing? How about HD video at 1080p and 30 fps?
