There's also the matter of iphones being scanners, not cameras... and if anything moves (As Andy has often demonstrated in the most basic analogue ways) it will become distorted in the image. The phone shoots many images as the scan passes and has stitching algorithms to correct this effect but it doesn't always give a good result... as The Western Journal article, I believe, demonstrates.
