The iPhone is already almost the most popular camera on Flickr. Apple wants to make it even easier to take photos with an iPhone: coming soon, you’ll have a lock screen shortcut for taking photos in iOS 5.
What’s cool about this is that even if you have a passcode set, you’ll go right to the camera. You can’t see anything else… and you can use the volume up button to take a photo…” said Fortsall to huge cheers.
This is my favorite iOS 5 addition today short of the new notifications.
In addition, Apple’s adding some abilities to easily edit photos on the iPhone, including cropping, red eye reduction, quick enhance and more.
