The best camera is the one you have with you, or so the saying goes. However, just because it's easy now to grab a quick picture with your cell phone doesn't mean the shot is portfolio worthy. See how your best cell phone images match up to the rest of the community by submitting them below.
Over the next week, we invite you to submit two of your best images taken with a cell phone for the community to review. The entrant who submits the highest rated photo will receive a free Fstoppers original tutorial as will one other randomly selected entrant. You'll have until September 18 at 11:45PM to upload your images.
Once you've uploaded your best shots, scroll through the rest of the submissions and assign them a number based on the Fstoppers rating scale below. If you see an image that could use a little work, go ahead and leave an encouraging comment detailing how you think it could be improved.

I find it surprising that you don't wait for the new iphones with this specific contest ?! or is that another double whammy like with the money generating photos ?
A new phone is not going to give anyone an interesting subject and good composition.
the new iphones redefine what is possible with a smartphone. from having 3 cameras to ever improving ways to use artificial intelligence and machine learning for photography.
It is only a question of time until someone develops an app that creates a 3d model of a picture and allows to position artificial lights in the scene just like in a studio. the new iphones are the first smartphones that have the technical means to do that, which is in my opinion a game changer.
this and the fact that Lee and Patrick released a video about the new Iphones a couple of days ago is why I posted this comment.
other than that I agree with you :)
The new iPhone isn't state of the art and they aren't doing anything others haven't already done long ago.
True
I am aware that everybody and his cat are very critical of the new iphones, but I believe that that's only part of the truth. For me the A13 processor is mainly what is state of the art and that it will allow for stunning AI and ML goodies.
If its not now, I'll have spent 1400€ for my first iphone which I am sure I'll enjoy much more than the S7 Edge I have been using until now. And AI and ML are going to be a game changer for photography whether we like it or not. Btw, this is not limited to photography. A lot of things that we take for granted will change and some of them we are not going to like. There was an interesting article just one or two weeks ago here on Fstoppers about AI and ML ...
