Posted by wackypanda Does anyone have any tips or tricks to get the best shots out of an Iphone?

Like amishdelight said, try shooting with an app other than the default camera app.
ProCamera is a damn good camera replacement app. It lets you set focus and exposure independently, will tell you if your phone is level, will let you change the aspect ratio, and best of all (I use this all the time in low light situations), it has an anti-shake setting, where the camera won't fire unless it's being held still. Really cuts down on motion blur.
AvgCamPro will let you take incredibly sharp shots in low light but requires the use of a tripod (or just setting your phone on something) to get decent shots. ClearCam will let you do something similar--it takes multiple shots and then merges them to create one big, huge, super sharp image. If you have decent light, you can also use it handheld and still get sharp pictures. Cortex Cam is similar, but I like ClearCam a lot better.
If you don't have a wide angle adapter (like an Olloclip) and need to shoot something wider than what your phone will cover, AutoStitch does a great job of putting multiple shots together.
Snapseed is my go-to app for retouching on my phone. PS Touch is good, too, but Snapseed is free and does pretty much everything I need it to do.
Apps that aren't free are sometimes given away for promotional purposes. The Life in Lofi blog used to do a pretty good job of alerting you when apps were free or at reduced prices for a limited time, but it seems to have gone dormant a few months ago. Still, you might find something useful there.
