iPhones have decent cameras, and you can snap even better photos with the built-in flash. That flash does have its problems, though, because it’s fired directly at the subject.

During the 90’s, when cell phones were becoming all the rage, the belt clip for phones became a status symbol of sorts. Since phones started out so large that they wouldn’t fit in a pocket, clipping them to a belt (or hiding them in a fanny pack) was an acceptable way to transport them. Even
