Its been 10 years since Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone and things have never been the same. Uber, Whatsapp, and countless other apps which we cannot imagine spending a day without all owe their genesis to the iPhone. In the past decade, the iPhone has also completely revolutionized the photography industry, starting with the original iPhone which packed a humble 2-megapixel camera to the current dual lens 12-megapixel camera on the iPhone X which is touted as a DSLR replacement. Started in 2007, the iPhone photography awards have been showcasing talented photographers and inspiring others that you do not need an expensive camera set up to shoot a great photo.
