Review: Game of Thrones Season Six Blu-Ray

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Flickr says iPhones are still the most popular cameras

"47% of all Flickr users used an Apple device to upload images to the platform."- FLICKR

The iPhone's reign as the most popular camera, at least according to image sharing website Flickr, isn't just continuing but is actually increasing.

Flickr says that iPhone models account for 8 of the top 10 cameras used on the service. What is remarkable is that there are no other smartphone cameras in the top 10. As DLSR cameras and standalone point-and-shoot devices continue to slide in popularity, more people are taking more photos (and videos) with Apple's iPhones. Popular iPhones in the top 10 are with the 6, 5s, and 6s in the top three positions. This list doesn't even count the capable iPhone SE and the innovative iPhone 7 which is considered by many to be the best camera on a smartphone today.
