iPhone kiosk

[Rick Harrison]

Hi Richard,

http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/specs/

I only see 30fps recording and 60fps for playback for this device.  (iPhone 5s.)
Where are you getting 120fps technical information for this?


Here’s the 5th Generation iPod Touch specs too.

So as I understand things now, you are hoping to
use a contract free iPhone 5s strictly for the video
camera and video display capabilities so that you
can make it the center of some other hardware
type device (perhaps a sports helmet camera or
something similar.) Base price just for the iPhone
$649. (Before any markup by you.) You will also 
be trying to conceal the fact that the iPhone is the 
centerpiece technology for the device.

Someone on the internet will probably do a take apart
of your device and when they publish the fact that
the iPhone is the center piece of the device, Apple, Inc.
will probably set it’s legal department loose on you
and tell you to at least seize and desist your
operations or the manufacture of your device.
(They will spout some licensing issue no doubt.)

(Please understand I’m trying to play Devil’s Advocate
here to save you the potential legal hassles in advance.)

It would probably be cheaper for you to just build your
device from scratch as a prototype and then take it
to a manufacturer to actually put the device together.
(You avoid all the trouble with Apple, Inc. that way.)

I hope this is somewhat helpful to you.

Rick
