A photo has surfaced online which may have been taken with the iPhone 5, reports PocketNow.

This (very attractive) photo claims to have been taken by an iPhone 4, but the rest of its EXIF data tells a different story: although the image has been cropped to 2235x2291 (5.12 megapixels), the original picture was a much larger 3264x2448 -- or just shy of eight megapixels. What's more, the lens was recorded as a 4.3mm f/2.4, which is closer to that of a point-and-shoot than the iPhone 4's actual 3.85mm f/2.8. (Remember that the upcoming HTC Runnymede is said to have an aperture of f/2.2.)

PocketNow says it is possible for someone to have modified the EXIF data; however, this photo was supposedly shot by an Apple engineer eating his lunch at work.

The nokia n8 12mp camera is still king of the hill, not even the Sony Ericsson 12mp could stop the nokia n8 12mp camera.
