iPhone has surpassed to become the top camera used by the Flikr users
in the year 2015. Flickr, in its latest year in review, reveals that
iPhone is the most popular camera device used to capture photos and
videos in 2015 by the Flikr community.
That
does not mean that the dedicated cameras do not have any place in
Flickr’s 2015 year in review. While the smartphones maintain a healthy
lead over the dedicated cameras, the photo-sharing review indicates that
DSLR is still holding a close second. The latest numbers reveal that
Flickr users used smartphone camera 39% of the time to share videos and
photos to the service while DSLR devices were used 31% of the time.
Point-and-shoot cameras managed to secure 25% while only 3% of the time
users used mirrorless cameras to share stuff on Flickr.
When we
look at the device wise breakdown of the results, iPhone holds a healthy
lead of all other devices including the likes of Canon and Nikon.
Specifically, 42% of the total uploads on Flickr in the year 2016 were
done using the iPhones, while Canon (EOS) was used 27% of the times,
followed by Nikon (D) which was used 16% of the time to upload photos on
the service.
A
further breakdown of the devices by Flickr reveals that iPhone 6 was
the most popular camera smartphone used for sharing on Flickr, followed
by the iPhone 5s, and Samsung’s Galaxy S5 managed to secure the third
position on the list. Other iPhone models on the list include the iPhone
6 Plus and the iPhone 5 as well. Other prominent brands on the list
include the likes of Canon, Sony, Samsung, Nikon, Motorola, and LG.
There
is no big change or any element of surprise in this latest Flickr’s
year in review stats. iPhone has been leading the popular device on
Flickr since iPhone 4 back in 2011, and it seems like this trend won’t
be breaking for some time.
