Not quite the same thing, but I use the magnifier tool on iOS for closeup views of PCBs (it's under the accessibility settings).
With flash on, it can give quite a detailed look at your board. You could then
strap a macro lens onto your phone if you need even more magnification.
I used to use this and also take still images, but I'm on an older iphone and apple introduced a bug which makes the still image blurry after you capture it.
(I realize the youtube player really sucks for this, the effect is seen in the last second of the video but youtube just _has_ to shove its related videos screen in your face once you get near the end of the video)
