The improved sensor and larger aperture on the new iPhone 4S camera might solve this problem, but if you’re stuck with an iPhone 4 or an iPhone 3GS, taking photos in low-light situations is probably a bit of a struggle. The iPhone’s camera is better than most, but if you’re trying to take photos in a dark bar or another dimly-lit place, your photos are likely less than stellar. And judging by most people we know, you probably take more photos with your smartphone than any actual camera, so you might as well give it every advantage you can. Give your phone a little boost with the handy, and small, iFlash Camera Flash ($25).

This surprisingly small add-on plugs into your iPhone’s 30-pin dock connector and provides a bright LED flash to assist your phone’s camera. The iFlash is small enough to carry all the time and even has a 3.5 mm jack attachment to keep the flash at-hand at all times. The attachment also supposedly fits under most regular-size cases, making it even more appealing. It could come in handy as a regular old flashlight, too.

The best Google Pixel deals of 2026: big savings on Google’s AI phones
The home screen on the Google Pixel 8 Pro.

Google's Pixel 10 lineup has been out for a bit, and if you've been on the fence about switching to Android's gold standard, current discounts across Amazon make this the best time to buy. We're seeing up to 26% off across the entire Pixel family, including phones and accessories.

Why buy a Pixel right now?
Google has always built the Pixel line around one idea: the smartest possible Android experience. With the Pixel 10 series, that philosophy gets a significant upgrade thanks to deep Gemini AI integration: Google's most capable AI assistant to date. It handles everything from real-time call screening and live translation to on-device photo editing and natural-language search, and it does so more seamlessly than any other Android on the market.
Add in Google's reputation for exceptional cameras, clean software, and the longest OS update commitments of any Android manufacturer, and the Pixel 10 lineup makes a compelling case for itself even at full price. At these discounted prices, it's a genuinely hard argument to beat.
