Olloclip’s addition for Otterbox’s modular case easily switches between 4 lenses

Add as a preferred source on Google

Before phones get modular, Otterbox wants to make our existing devices a little more functional with the Universe Case System. This iPhone case lets you snap in various modules to add extra features, one of which is Olloclip’s popular 4-in-1 lens, and we got a peek of it at CE Week 2016.

Olloclip‘s 4-in-1 lens features four varying lens types: Fisheye, wide-angle, a 10x macro, and a 15x macro. Snap it into the Otterbox Universe Case and you’ve easily expanded the style in how you can take photographs with the iPhone — but note that the case only fits an iPhone 6, 6S, 6 Plus, and the 6S Plus.

The clip also acts as a wearable pendant, if you wanted to carry it around rather than leaving it on your phone. Unfortunately, it’s a bit pricey at $80 — and that’s not even factoring the price of the Otterbox Universe Case, which is $50 for the regular-sized iPhones and $60 for the Plus variants.

Thankfully, if you don’t have or want Otterbox’s Universe case, Olloclip still offers the same product for the iPhone devices at $80.

We also got a look at Olloclip Studio, which the company created to act as a photographer’s on-the-go kit. Attaching to the same iPhone 6, 6S, and Plus variants, the case allows you to attach various photo accessories to it. For example, you can mount a finger grip to help keep shots steady, a tripod, a kickstand, and more. The mounting solution is patent pending.

Olloclip Studio will set you back $90 for the whole setup.

In this age of AI, fake photos have become a genuine concern. But Apple might be planning on dealing with this with its next major iteration of iOS. Code discovered in iOS 27 beta 5 by 9to5Mac points to an unreleased feature called Apple Reference Image.

The system is designed to authenticate that an image originated from an iPhone camera by using information tied to the hardware that captured it. Meaning, iPhone photos could now arrive with a verifiable record of where they came from.
