  14. It's possible that the lens is sharper in the center and softer at the edges. If you are using a smaller projection with the smaller sensor you could be seeing only the sharper part.
  15. Yet Another iPhone, Dear God: What do you mean, you don’t need four studio-quality microphones? “What a remarkable day of announcements,” CEO Tim Cook said in conclusion, but I struggle to believe that he meant it. This was, let us be honest, merely a day of announcements.
