I wish I could take pictures like those with my phones. No matter how hard I try mine never turn out at all. Always blurry, always has some residual nonsense on them. It has to be something I'm doing... as usual. Those photos look so good! AGH!! Jealous!
A couple of tips:1) Make sure you have decent light
2) Tap on the screen where you want the focus point to be
3) Try not to move the phone when hitting the shutter button
4) If shooting in low light, prop your phone on a fixed surface; ie wall, table, rail, etc.
iPhone cameras are outstanding and can return excellent photographs.
Here's one of mine from last Sunday, at San Francisco's Ocean Beach:

In before the struggling photographers criticize the iPhone camera quality.
Its not so much the quality of the camera but the effect it has where people take some nice photos on an iPhone and claim to be a "photographer".Or when people claim upon viewing a photo taken by a professional photographer that "I could take that on my iPhone". People don't seem to realize just how insulting that is.
Or when people say things like "iPhones will make DLSRs obsolete in a few years" (They wont).
For their intended purpose they are excellent cameras. But they still lack in a lot of areas where DSLRs excel (and always will).
