GTA 5's In-Game Phone Works With This Modder's iPhone App
From Gamespot

It's only been a few weeks since Grand Theft Auto V was released on PC, and the game's modding scene is just getting started, but we're already seeing some amazing, hilarious mods. While it's not technically modifying the game, the coolest if not the most practical mod we've seen recently makes the GTA V's in-game phone work with a real iPhone app.

The mod was created by a Reddit user who goes by the handle planetleak. The mod recreates the in-game app on iPhone using Xcode. Inputs on the iPhone send a URL to an Arduino webserver, which then sends the inputs into the game via keybinding macros. I can't think of a good reason to use a real iPhone to control the in-game phone, but as you can see in the video below, it's just impressive that the app works at all.
