These are the 20 best iPhone photographs for the year

Apple’s iPhone rise to popularity has quickly made it the most popular camera in the world - it became the most popular camera on Flickr three years ago, and since then the adoption of iPhones has only grown. Moreover, the actual quality of the camera has also increased significantly, as Apple has been very consistent in making the iPhone camera faster, increasing the sensor size, and refining the quality of the images.

We would not go as far as to claim that the iPhone is the best camera phone out there - after all, heavyweights like the Nokia Lumia 1020, the Sony Xperia Z2, Samsung’s Galaxy S5, and the LG G3, but even older devices often capture better-looking and more detailed images than the iPhone 5s, but we’re not here to argue about the technicalities. Instead, we’ll focus on the best photographs captured on Apple’s iPhone in the last year, curated by the annual iPhone Photography Awards.

The contest gives that runs from 2007, gives out three ‘photographer of the year’ medals, awarding each of the winners with an iPad Air. It also has 17 categories where the winner gets an award. It’s a celebration of creativity, an inspiring set of images, showing just how much you can do nowadays with the camera of a smartphone.
