The iPhone's camera jumping up in the Flickr ratings

and what accounts for the long, steady downward sloping preceding it?

Before posting to Flickr, I like to edit photos using Magic Touch app (so many tools, its like photoshop indeed) and Camera Bag (I like its interface and 1 click effects). No wonder iPhone camera photos jumping up in the Flickr ratings!

Hi,

If I may :
It tells more on how Apple brands its products and on how it refreshes its lines not-that often than the real popularity of iPhone vs. the world.

eg. the Digital Rebel appears in 2 separate versions ( XTi et XT )
the iPhone is just one unique version.

I guess that if you compare 'all Canon low-end DSLR' ( quite a few of them ) , 'all Nokia mid-range phone' ( a lotsa them ) and Apple Phone, the feeling would be different.

that said, Apple seems the only to have understood how important it is to keep its product unconfusing ( Acer eePC, you're listening ?)

Well, this is due to apps like ShoZu that allow uploading pics to Flickr and share them as soon as they are clicked !!

So,... yes there are a great no. of iPhone pic uploads.....

I know that I, personally, started to upload my iPhone pictures to Flickr after the appearance of interesting camera/post-processing apps in the App Store, such as Camera Bag.

Consider also, that for quite some time, pictures emailed from the phone were stripped of their EXIF tags, including model of camera.

This picture, taken and emailed 7/19/07, has no EXIF data: http://flickr.com/photos/frijole/854513721/in/dateposted/

This picture, taken and emailed 12/6/08 has them, and says "Taken with an Apple iPhone." http://flickr.com/photos/frijole/3087158497/

Coincidentally, anyone remember the "Taken with an Apple iPhone" zomg? http://www.macrumors.com/2007/04/29/first-photos-from-apple-iphone/
