Hi,

This is my personal discovery, I have not read about it anywhere, no review or feedback talks about it. But this secret and very useful function exists in every iPhone, starting from 2007.

This is a mirrored Apple logo on the back of the iPhone. In fact, it is a small mirror. This mirror has helped me out many times over 17 years on a walk, on a hike or just on a city street. Sometimes a speck of dust, a small fly or an eyelash gets into my eye. How to get it out without a mirror? This small mirrored Apple logo helped me examine my eye and get the speck out.

Yes, if you have a case on your iPhone, you will have to remove it, but this is a minor inconvenience if there is an urgent need to examine your eyes or face.

The front camera is inconvenient to use, as you may need to bring the mirror very close to your eye. It is likely that farsighted people will find it uncomfortable or even impossible to look close. I have myopia, so this is not a problem.

P.S. Currently I have iPhone SE 2022.
