I was getting ready to Google various camera apps after my daughter
said she used Camera +. I went to iTunes to see exactly what the
name was of my new iPhone's camera app. But I don't see it in Apps,
nor in finder. Do I have the name wrong, or is it such an integral
part of IOS that it's not really an app?

camera+ (nospace)
Works OK and is not preloaded on iPhones from apple.

Just (Camera) is the App that comes on the iPhone.

I wasn't clear. I was trying to find the name of the Camera app that
came with IOS. I was puzzled that I can't find it - maybe it doesn't
exist as the same kind of external app.


I'm wanting to compare it with Camera+ and other 3rd party apps. But
it's looking that such a web comparison might have problems. Reading
of reviews, I don't see the characteristics of the camera program I
already got with my phone - and I bet that app has been upgraded over
time. If, say Camera+ was better than the IOS camera a year ago
with an earlier version of IOS - is it still better?

Why don't I see it when I search iTunes in Apps? Or when I right
click an app and open Finder and search for it? Or when I use
Spotlight? I even sorted the apps by name and looked for it in the
iPhones/Apps/Sync Apps window. I just held down the button to see if
the "x" came up to delete it - it didn't. Obviously some app like
icons (Settings), should never be deleted.

I'm guessing it is inside IOS. One of the camera apps I read a
review for apparently now uses some of the APIs within camera (the
reviewer said the app was better before).

Look at ProCamera too - $2.99. Nice exposure and focus controls (set
focus and exposure/WB points separately in the image).

It is part of the operating system and can't be deleted from the
iPhone (at least not by normal user actions).

It's really an app, but it ships with every iPhone, and can't be removed
from the phone (except, maybe, a jailbroken phone), so there's no need for
it to be in the app store.

It's not in iTunes or among your IOS apps that are stored on your Mac.
None of the built-in IOS apps are on your Mac--they're just what it
says--built into IOS and that's that.

Ah, so! You knew that already!
