iPhone 3G in every country seems to be slightly different one another. in Japan there’s special feature unique to that country: The camera makes a noticeable “shutter” sound when a picture is taken, even when the phone is set to “silent” mode.
The shutter sound is supposed to prevent voyeurs from taking sneaky pictures of woman’s skirts or underpants.
Since high-resolution camera phones flood the market, In Japan, upskirt and downblouse shots have become ever more popular. That’s why, all cellphones sold in Japan will make a conspicuous shutter sound.
Not only iPhone 3G, most cellphones in Japan have similar feature. The shutter sound on the first iPhone sold in Japan could be turned into silent mode; on the iPhone 3G, apple has even made change: The shutter sound cannot be turned off, even in silent mode.
