iPhone 4 Now Doubles as a Portable Rave-Party Machine with LED Flash Alerts [iOS 5]

By

Our heads are spinning with all the new little features that are packed into iOS 5. Our heads also might be spinning from the new “LED Flash for Alerts” feature found under the Accessibility settings which we just enabled. While it currently only works on the iPhone 4, this neat little feature enables your phone to send out a few pulses of light from the LED Flash every time you get a new Text or Phone call.

Users should note that the LED Flash on the iPhone 4 is pretty strong for a little LED. I caught a few alerts right in the eye a couple of times, which was less than pleasant. An alternative use for the new feature could be to throw a mini-rave in your bedroom. Hook your iPhone up to some speakers, set it face down in the middle of the room and have your friends text you all night. Could be a pretty awesome party.
