The cameras of the iPhone (and other mobiles) have become one of the main claims of the device. Needless to say, with the huge size of the lenses on the iPhone 13 Pro Max, for example, and the rumors clearly indicate that the trend will continue on the iPhone 14. But there are those looking for the exact opposite: there are those who want an iPhone without cameras
There are places that require a total absence of cameras
What you see in the image above isn’t a photo montage: there’s a company called NonCam that’s dedicated to modifying iPhones so they don’t have cameras. Because? You might think of people who want absolute privacy, but the reality is that there are companies and organizations that need these iPhones without cameras.
An example can be the armed forces or the arms industry. It is not intended for a soldier or worker to have the ability to take pictures in secret compounds. Something similar can happen with oil companies, government labs… I myself visited car factories as a press where they forced me to put a physical block on my iPhone cameras. It is something usual so that the data of this factory is not leaked and the competition can take advantage of it.
Ironically, the process of modifying iPhones so they don’t have cameras makes them cost up to $1,500. And that’s true for older models like the iPhone 7 or iPhone 8. A cheaper option is to buy the conversion kit that lets you modify your phone at home for $250.
It almost makes more money to buy one that takes them and breaks them carefully, but of course: you have to have better guarantees that the lenses don’t work. And nothing better for that than those lenses just aren’t there.
