Launched at CES 2014, the FLIR thermal imaging camera and sensor for the Apple iPhone will cost $349 when it hits the market this spring. And an Android version isn’t far behind, FLIR execs told me this year at ShowStoppers. Here’s my deep dive on why you’d want thermal imaging on your iPhone, where the idea comes from and where this tech is headed. At the very least, it’s a pretty handy way to help you see in the dark — and spot energy leaks during this extra cold winter.
