Winners of the iPhone Photography Awards 2023 (18 photos)

The annual competition of photos taken on iPhone and iPad has summed up its results. Only smartphones and tablets from Apple, beautiful landscapes, skillful hands of a photographer - and no fraud or photoshop! Here are some of the photos that received the highest praise from the jury.





This year's competition, which has been running since 2007, attracted photographers from more than 140 countries. To enter the competition, photos must be taken on an iPhone or iPad, and the use of desktop image editing programs such as Photoshop is prohibited.

The grand prize winner was Mexican photographer Ivan Silva, who took a stunning photo of a young soccer fan using an iPhone 12 Pro. But the rest of the photos are no worse.
