AppleInsider have revealed a very interesting patent by Apple to the United States Patent and Trademark office – it describes how ‘a primary iOS device such as an iPhone, remotely controls multiple secondary devices, which can also be iPhones, as slave flashes for the first handset’s on-board camera’. ‘The idea of connecting multiple iOS devices belonging to different people, the patent application can be considered a “social camera flash” system, perhaps useful in impromptu photo shoots that require more than one source of lighting.

So, he picked up the leather version but he discovered that actually, the more he used it, the less it aged in the way he wanted. So he took matters into his own hands and tanned his with his coffee.
