There are other phone cameras that have bigger sensors or boast more megapixels, but nothing really compares to the iPhones speedy performance, vast range of apps for editing and it’s reliability to generate a great photograph. There is no better example of the iPhones camera being used to its fullest than in the iPhone Photography Awards (IPPAWARDS). The winners have just been announced.
Every photo entered into the competition can only be shot and edited on an iOS device. Which means no photoshop or cross processing allowed. The awards certainly prove something. Often the best camera you have is the one you carry around in your pocket. Here are the most incredible iPhone photos taken in 2014.
