either I'm smoking something... or iPhones have liquid lenses
how does dust get into a sealed liquid lens?

Mine is between the cover and the lens. The 5 doesn't open as easy as the 4.
I still haven't taken it in as I'm playing with ios 7.

You're smoking something, as it has a sapphire lens, not a liquid one.

Mine is between the cover and the lens. The 5 doesn't open as easy as the 4.

So it's between the lens and the sensor then? Ugh.

My company would just say the phone is for work purposes only. All it needs to do is make calls and receive email. They would tell me that my job does not require photo taking so stop your complaining. :(

I can get on board with this. But what they don't know won't hurt them.

I guess it's good he doesn't work at a job where you have to check all cameras at the door.
