I don't think this is a real threat. As people have pointed out, IR filters could circumvent this "feature" if it were ever implemented. Filters could even be incorporated in iPhone case designs. Also, I think Apple would be crazy to implement this first. How would they market a phone to consumers that would have less capabilities as a camera than their competitors'?

> How would they market a phone to consumers that would have less capabilities as a camera than their competitors'? It would not have less capabilities - in fact, it would have more, and they would simply have to play this up. See their examples about extracting more metadata from the environment. I'm sure they could spin the possibility of forbidding photos in a positive light - "Worried about perverts photographing your children at the playground? Worry no more, with the iPerv - simply turn it on, and cameras in the vicinity won't be able to steal your child's innocence pixels!"
