The winners are in for the 2020 iPhone Photography Awards (IPPAWARDS), and this year's 13th annual competition continues to show us just what's possible with good light, an eye for a dynamic subject and, of course, the best iPhones.
The awards represent the best of smartphone photography around the world, and the dozens of winning photographs reflect powerful world views.
These stunning entries also prove that you don't need the latest iPhone – with some champions still shooting on models as early as the iPhone 4!
There are 18 categories of imagery overall, and the winning scenes range from vast landscapes to a single tree, from city streets to remote desolation, from toil and hardship to a private moment of joy in the sun.
