Apple’s photo software already has face recognition and its video software already has good image stabilization. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were spin-offs of work towards precisely this.
Bad angle, really? This is freaking Apple we're talking about if Jobs can't resolve something as simple as a camera angle (hello dozen phones that came out last year with a swivel mounted camera to directly resolve this problem) then he should resign as an incompetent fool. He managed to bring Apple back from the brink and revolutionize the industry, if he can't resolve a camera angle issue he's a complete fraud with more luck than Jesus crossed with that air stewardess who fell from flight altitude crossed with the bastard child of Anakin Skywalker and Yoda.
I'm sorry, bad camera angle is the biggest piece of piss poor excuse I've ever heard. I'd honestly be more appeased if Apple simply said "sorry, things got missed out that we wanted to implement, shit happens - that's life".
