Why Seinfeld Doesn't Work With iPhones

In The Bizarro Jerry (803), George tells people that a photo of Elaine's attractive friend (the pictured Man Hands) is his dead fiancee, to win sympathy from some models and entree into their "forbidden city." Then his blow dryer ruins the picture, and when Elaine can't get him another one, he cuts one out of a magazine and is busted. Since people carry their photos on their phones and other gadgets now, this would either be much easier (since he could find a hot chick on the Internet, tap and hold the photo in Safari to save it to his iPhone's Camera Roll, and say she's his dead finacee) or much harder (because the lack of hard evidence would keep the models from falling for the story altogether -- I mean, come on).
And what about The Bubble Boy? (407) While Jerry following George instead of having his own directions is kind of weak premise anyway, with the iPhone 3G they could both map out directions to the Bubble Boy's house so easily. And when George drove too fast and Jerry lost him, they could just...well, call each other, duh. (I like to have Google Calendar send me an SMS with the address and even a map link if I'm going somewhere new.) Plus, that whole nasty business with the Moops? Easily avoided thanks to Safari.
The Implants (419): While we're on the subject, Safari and our old pal Google can solve all kinds of bets, even Kramer's insistence that he saw Salman Rushdie at the health club. (The iPhone's camera might come in handy here too. For Rushdie, not Sidra.)
