Here's how it looked at 5:26, 3 minutes after the actual sunrise time:
There seemed to be an impenetrable bank of clouds at the base of the sky. So I was surprised — after my run back to the parking lot and as I was driving home — to look over and see this at 5:44. I stopped at what I call my Secondary Vantage Point, and got this picture:
On reflection, I suppose that what seemed like a fairly uniform cloud cover was much thicker right at the bottom and thinned out just a little higher. This might be the first time I've seen this happen in the hundreds of sunrises I've witnessed in the last 2 years.
UPDATE: The next day's sunrise explained the mystery of the sunrise you see above. Here's what I saw on July 4th, beginning at 5:30, which was 7 minutes after sunrise. If I had waited a little longer on July 3rd, I would have seen a ghostly pale orange circle breaking over the obstructions on the far show. I quit too early, assuming I'd see nothing, because there wasn't the usual glow as the sun approached that line. I should have stayed a few more minutes. The sun was photographable with the bare iPhone camera at 5:44 on July 3rd because there was sun a heavy haze. That's why it's so orange instead of glaring white.

"I'm pretty sure that's smoke from distant fire(s) that's chasing the blue skies away here. Should make for some nice sunrise/sunsets."

I do the one thing I always have to do: turn the light down.
The iPhone seems to be adjusted to get images of faces indoors.
One thing I basically never do is turn up the saturation. In fact, to my eye, the sun was very orange. I don't think there's a way to get the iPhone to give me what I feel like I'm seeing, so the photos of the sunrise are always a bit of a surprise to me.
