iOS could allow standard panoramic photos to be taken

In the App Store we find various apps that let us take panoramic photos, but for now the iOS Camera app is not able to do this natively, although in the near future it could start doing so. A developer has found certain evidence that in the future iOS could include a mode for taking panoramic photos natively.

The latest iOS 5.0.1 beta already includes the system, although it is disabled by default and a string in a file must be modified to make it work. The file is com.apple.mobileslideshow.plist and for this to work you would need to set the string EnableFirebreak to TRUE. Of course, not just anyone can do this, since it is necessary to access the system files of the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch in order to modify it, but seeing that it is there is fairly clear proof that Apple intends to offer it in the near future.

We don’t know whether it will arrive with the next operating system update, although we assume not, since the next update will focus on fixing the excessive battery drain issues on some iPhone models and perhaps correcting some other problems that have been identified since the launch of iOS 5.
