In Pictures: 15 fun and freaky iPhone mods

These modifications of various Apple mobile devices reflect impressive amounts of ingenuity, skill, and--in some instances--leisure time.

iOS Mods



There may be an iPhone app for this and that and everything else, but unsatisfied modders are hacking into iOS devices to make them do all kinds of new tricks. I’ve scoured the Web to find modders who turn iPhones into robots, iPod Touch devices into automated car controllers, and iPads into clamshell iBooks. I’ve even found a few people who want to turn their iPhones into professional cameras (good luck). Check them out, and see if you have what it takes to attempt some of these mods yourself.
