I just want to say when iPhone supports external flash I will probably never use Canon again. And I've used it for 10+ years professionally in the studio. Serio

I just want to say when iPhone supports external flash I will probably never use Canon again. And I've used it for 10+ years professionally in the studio. Seriously, it's like Japan's products are moving at the same speed as their economy, i.e. not at all in the past 20 years.

Most modern LED's are bright enough that you don't need a discrete "flashing" type of external light for most such use cases, you know?

  For me at least, having an external flash has very little to do with how bright it is, and very much to do with where the light is coming from. A flash coming from 1/4" away from where the lens is, usually doesn't look too great.

    He is talking about separate monolight on a boom or stand. Always on light rather than flash. He’s not talking about the LED on the phone

...sounds like a fun project to trigger an external flash on manual from the iPhone flash! I wonder if those lightning triggers would be sensitive enough. Ah -- but the iPhone would need manual exposure settings or you'd likely overexpose.
