Not only did we revolutionize the way you take selfies, we removed the unnecessary back camera to make the iPhone 6Selfie a thinnest phone ever made, we moved the display to the back of the phone so that your friends will have a live view of the selfie you're about to take. It's magical.
Don't say those kinds of things when I'm taking a drink.
Based on the headline that was what I was thinking, but once I looked at the screen and saw it's checking the device to see if flash is supported, I would bet it's a standalone flash, because a bright white "flash" on the screen would be supported on literally every device.
*1 loud Clap* Thanks Apple! Now the camera on my next iPhone will be twice as powerful as the $1300.00 MacBook. 
An S model of an iPhone with an improved camera.... Anyone else saw this coming?
It's the right area to improve though, I'm glad apple is constantly improving the photo/video capabilities. They just have to do away with the 16Gb model as files sizes increase.

I'm trying to picture you with a $1300 MacBook at the end of a selfie stick.*1 loud Clap* Thanks Apple! Now the camera on my next iPhone will be twice as powerful as the $1300.00 MacBook.

MacBook is only 480p right?
True Innovation.
In the meanwhile: Isn't 2MPX basic standard and 5MPX more or less the premium offering from Sony/Samsung & Co.

Do not give them ideas!!!! iPads is bad enough, and the MB is roughly the same size!!!
Well they will be higher resolution. Whether that makes the selfie look better or worse is likely dependent on the person in the photo.
*shivers* Yup. Just like how the original MacBook Air had a backlit keyboard and the current design didn't and then Apple re-added it with the 2011 upgrade. Proves the MacBook was pushed out too soon. Especially now since Thunderbolt 3 will run off of the same connector leaving a lot of early buyers scratching their heads why they newly acquired Thunderbolt 3 drive doesn't do a thing on their $1400 MacBook.
Getting back on topic: I never ever used the cam on the front of my iPhone 5. I'm not one of the "selfie-kind", so I don't really care about it. Still neat.

That's already how it works - while you're taking the picture its mitt or style, meaning you can use it as a mirror so it's perfect for sorting out your hair or whatever, then when the picture's taken its flipped round as though taken from another person's perspective. It's the perfect solution in my opinion.
All these advanced cameras on one device seems so wasteful to me. Can't they just include one and rotate part of it somehow (inside the body so there are no external moving parts, not like the Oppo), maybe using a little internal mirror?
Made out of alu-mi-ni-um . We call it the iSelfie
and it won't come out if it's not a pre-programmed fingerprint of the user.
We re-thought the selfie stick and how the user can learn its benefits easily and intuitively................
We also introduced Forceview sensing. So,
when the people in picture are ugly, the stick retracts automatically
plus the post above good one

Maybe the next iPhone will be called the iPhone 7 so that may explain all of these rumors about significant upgrades to the rear/front cameras, 2GB RAM, Force Touch, etc. iPhones would also have a higher number with next year's iPhone 8 being "greater" than next year's Samsung S7. I know that's BS, but when it comes to marketing to some people, it might be a significant difference, at least from a superficial perception. It may look the same or almost the same as the 6.
Not interested. Waiting for the actual (rear) camera upgrade, the Iphone 6 is really dragging behind the competition.
Also hope we'll find out clues about Force Touch in iOS9

Apple doesn't have to wait until next year's model to have 5MP. The minimum they've had for 1080p video recording in an iOS device is 5MP, so that is the most likely.
I do see your point about the Galaxy names, but I don't think they'll ever stop with the "S" models, since it goes very well with the 2-year contracts and people who are not too familiar with the differences they bring.
Me too! I almost switched back to a flip phone!thought for a second that (Adobe) Flash is coming ....
Plenty of Android phones don't use LED notification lights. I haven't had one on a phone in years.
At the same time "the future of the notebook" features a 480p lens.
"Light. Years ahead." - To say it with Apple's own words.

So Apple finally decided to spend an additional nickel to improve the front camera? (clap clap clap)
