iPhones become the top used ‘camera’ for Flickr uploads in 2015

 

For Flickr’s Year in Review, we see that the iPhone has overtaken Canon as the most used camera brand for 2015. It jumps from around 25 percent to about 30 percent over the past year, with Canon going down to roughly 20 percent in the same period. The top six most popular cameras are all Apple devices. iPhone 6, then iPhone 5s, followed by the iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, iPhone 4, and then iPhone 6. The Apple domination gets broken as Canon EOS 5D Mark II takes the seventh spot but they regain it yet again with the iPhone 5c in the eighth spot.

The only other smartphone brand to make the list is Samsung with the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S5 taking the 11th and 13th spot, respectively, and the Galaxy S3 taking the 19th spot and sandwiched between two Nikon DSLRs.

Evernote to focus on main app with decision to drop some apps

Much like Dropbox’s decision to drop some of its apps, Evernote is ending support for some of its apps. Skitch for iOS, Android, Windows, and Windows Touch will be shut down. The only version of this app that will remain will be for the Mac. Evernote for the Pebble smartwatch will also be shut down. Evernote Clearly will also be shuttered. The company will stop updating these services and will be removed from circulation on January 22.

The company plans to keep its focus on their main service. According to Evernote, some of the best features of Skitch and Clearly will be integrated into their main service. Skitch’s identical annotation functionality will be available in both Windows and iOS apps. Article simplification from Clearly will be available in the company’s Web Clipper. And Pebble watch users can find Evernote features with the Powernoter app.
