    Arbitrary file upload is not supported on iOS. The tag used to be ignored up to (and including) iOS 5.x.

    Starting with iOS 6, this tag allows the user to add a photo from the photo stream or the camera (“take new photo”). All of this will be handled behind the scenes by the browser and the user will never see a real low-level “choose file” dialog.
