Fun With iPhone Contacts’ Photos
Written on July 16, 2007 by Nick Santilli and 8 people have commented
If you’re one of the elite who rolls with an iPhone, you should really put some effort into allowing that beautiful screen to live up to its potential. For instance, try this.
Take a photo of your friends smashing their face/hands up against some glass (or have them scan their face/hands) and then apply that image as their contact photo in your iPhone. Then when they call, it’ll look like they’re trapped in your phone. Good fun!

#1 Bill says:What I’m waiting for is an update to Address Book.app for greater congruence between setting a contact photo via the desktop app vs. setting the photo via the phone.
I absolutely adore how prominently the pictures are displayed of each caller (it’s like having larger-than-life baseball cards for all of my friends, only better) - provided you’ve set each contact photo on the iPhone. If you only set if via Address Book it comes up as a smaller-than-a-postage-stamp thumbnail.
I do hope this will be addressed in one of the early rounds of iPhone-related updates… and I hope those begin soon…
#2 Jeff Fanelli says:Hmm, how do you get the contact photo to be ‘fullscreen’ on the incoming call? My contact photos just show up ‘thumbnail size’?
#3 Panther says:Clever!
#4 Xenostar says:Clever idea, when (and if) I get an iPhone, I’ll be sure to have a fun scan-face session with all of my friends.
