iPhone Has Become Popular Camera

Recently, Flickr announced their "Annual Review" report, which select camera products that the most people used to upload and share up to the Flickr platform over the past 12-month period. Without on doubt, iPhone comes with the first. The top five are arranged sequentially would be: iPhone 6, iPhone 5s, Samsung Galaxy S5, iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 5. There is no Digital Single Lens Reflex at the top five names.

So we may think of the report published by the Yahoo of 2015 recently. The report said that the noun of iPhone 6 was searched most times at the category of science and technology. And even Windows 10 is ranked in behind it. Flickr is one of the units of Yahoo, so the two reports could have certain association. But iPhone has become a popular camera equipment in 2015, whether the new iPhone’s configurations can compete with the rivals or not.

2010, iPhone became the most popular photo-sharing camera equipment on Flickr, which has kept top-ranked up to now. The most popular camera on Flickr was the models of the iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, and then turned the iPhone 4s to iPhone 5, and then to iPhone 6 today.
