When Tim Cook unveiled the gorgeously curved edges of the iPhone 6, I thought apps that use the iPhone 5/5s’ flat edges to create hands-free 360° panoramic photos and video, would quickly sink into the App Store abyss, but the minds at Cycloramic have created a brilliant work around, and all you need is your iPhone 6 charger.
Cycloramic for iPhone 6 was released on the App Store over weekend and brings with it the power to turn your iPhone charger into a panorama machine by simply laying it facedown on a smooth surface, and delicately wedging your iPhone 6 between its power prongs. Using the iPhone 6’s vibration motor the new Cycloramic app can rotate 360 degrees to capture videos and photos, completely hands-free.
Check it out in action:
Capturing a 180 degree panorama with the iPhone 6 takes less than 3 seconds, and the app comes a Guided Mode too that will help you take perfect panoramas. Unfortunately, if you already bought Cycloramic for iPhone 5 and 5s, you’ll still have to pay $1.99 to get the new app for the iPhone 6.

Clever, but the app itself blows. The angle thing? Yea, no…
The only thing that eats pounds of COCK is pan video records the vibration. Minge app at best.
Did I not see this in Shark Tank with the iPhone 5 and 5s??? That one didn’t need to rest on a adapter because the 5 and 5s flat sides balanced on a flat surface.
