iPhone

Flickr likes to make a big splash at the end of every year, and one of the most interesting parts of the celebrations is the annual device report, which details the cameras that were most frequently used to upload images to the platform.

While Flickr is arguably less of a hub for the photography community than it used to be, the fact that the platform still boasts more than 75 million registered users means its findings still make for an interesting snapshot (pun semi-intended) of what photographers are using.
