iPhone Camera Module
1-inch optics, fused with iPhone compute
A clip-on module that puts a real camera sensor and optics on an iPhone — and fuses them with the phone’s own camera and Neural Engine, instead of bolting on a second camera.
The hardware
A one-inch-class or larger sensor behind a fast prime lens, capturing RAW and DNG. This is the imaging hardware a phone physically cannot fit: the constraint is depth and aperture, and no amount of computation removes it.
The wedge
Earlier clip-ons — DxO ONE, ALICE — were standalone cameras that used the phone as a screen. This module goes the other way: its data is fused deep into the iPhone’s computational pipeline, so the optics and the Neural Engine produce one image together rather than competing to produce two.
The connection
A rigid, lag-free direct connection. This is the specific place earlier modules failed — a wobbling mount and a laggy link turn better optics into a worse camera — so it is treated as a primary design constraint rather than an accessory detail.
The app
Full manual and computational control, in one place. The point of carrying real glass is to be able to decide what it does.
