HDR photos coming to jailbroken 3G and 3GS iPhones running iOS 4.1

If you have an older model iPhone, and are envious of the HDR photographic-prowess of the iPhone 4, there is still hope; albeit hope with a fairly long list of prerequisites. iPhone tinkerer Will Strafach has tweeted that he: “Made a Cydia tweak to allow HDR photos on 4.1 for the iPhone 3G and 3G[s].” So, when that rumored iOS 4.1 jailbreak is released you can take your jailbroken, iPhone 3G or 3GS and get the HDR goodies. There are a lot of “ifs” and “whens” in there… but it’s better than nothing.

    You could always just buy an app like TrueHDR which works just fine on the 3G & 3GS.

    What’s the use with that crappy camera ? What is it 2 megapixel haha weak sauce.

    • Bedwa

      you realize that the iPod touch 4th gen has only about a .7 MP back camera, but HD recording. Doesn’t need to be a spectacular camera for HD, Just good optics and software encoding.

    Apple sucks balls and I hate the company

      Your a douche thanks for stopping by.

    HDR application is integrated with the camera and work well on my N900. But this is on a 5MP camera. I really wouldn’t see the benefits of this technology on a 2 and 3MP camera.

      The benefit would be improving dynamic range on a camera whose dynamic range isn’t great. Its all about the look of the photo, not how many MP it has.

    Why does Apple even bother making iOS 4 compatible with older hardware if they’re just going to artificially leave out features?
