I got my first iPhone about a week ago. For the past few years, I had been 
using an iPod Touch that was given to me by an acquaintance (I guess a 
discard after he got an iPhone). I made a great discovery. If I plug my 
iPhone into the computer via USB while LR is running, pictures can be 
imported just as if the pictures were in an SD card plugged into a USB 
reader.
