The winners of the 14th annual iPhone Photography Awards have been revealed, and this year’s winning image was captured using an iPhone 7.
Many of the winners didn’t necessarily use top-of-the-line smartphones like the iPhone 12 Pro Max, showing that a good photograph consists primarily of the photographer’s creative vision and not the hardware at hand.
