Although the single technologies such as AI and dual cameras of Android phones are relatively strong and outstanding, the comprehensive performance of iPhone in color reproduction, image quality, tolerance and algorithm tuning is relatively balanced, which is more in line with the needs of professional photographers. After all, the photos automatically optimized by AI are not very popular with professional photographers, just like photographers like to take original photos in RAW format with SLR cameras, because photographers want to do it according to their own ideas when they create this thing later.
Since the launch of the first generation iPhone, Apple has taken mobile photography as one of its key research and development projects. Although there are some attractive products in photography in the Android camp in the past two years, in the generations from iPhone4 to iPhone7, Apple mobile phones have accumulated a large number of users in the early stage because of their good performance in photography.
There is no doubt that Apple has a strong ecology. Both transmission and vision have relatively perfect ecological support. In addition, many photography apps will give priority to the release of the IOS platform, giving photographers unlimited post-creation space.
IPPA, founded by Kenan Akturun, has been held every year since the first generation of iPhone came out in 2007. Since 12, IPPA has become the best model of folk propaganda for Apple mobile phones in the field of photography. IPPA competition not only helped Apple to promote the camera function of iPhone, but also gained recognition from users around the world.
Finally, put a statistical data of flickr photography community. IPhone is the only mobile phone brand that surpasses cameras.
What do you think of this problem? Welcome to interactive communication!
I'm JV Vision, focusing on photography.
Welcome to pay attention and exchange.
Strictly speaking, Huawei, Samsung, Apple, VIVO, Xiaomi, OPPO, these mainstream brands are all used by professional photographers of mobile phones. As for which brand has a higher share in this special population, we haven't seen the relevant authoritative statistics. However, there are also many photographers who use Apple phones.

I tried to analyze the reason.
1, Apple's mobile phone has emerged in the field of photography since the iphone4. I remember that a photographer took photos with iphone4 on the cover of Time magazine. Many photographers have used Apple phones for a long time.
With the enhancement of the camera function of Android phones, although some people have switched to other brands such as Huawei and Samsung, many people have become accustomed to the IOS system and continue to use Apple phones.

2. The color of Apple's mobile phone is more realistic, and Apple's color management is very good. All of Apple's mainstream products can achieve uniform color. For example, if you take a photo with an Apple mobile phone, look at it with a mobile phone, or look at it with an Apple tablet, notebook or desktop computer, the color will not change. At present, no second company has done this.

3. Apple pursues real records, so it is more suitable for shooting documentary subjects. In addition, even if the pictures need to be retouched later, photographers are more willing to make adjustments themselves to make the expression of the works more accurate. Ordinary users are not professional in photography and post-technology, and prefer various filter effects built into domestic mobile phones, including intelligent AI photography and other shooting effects achieved through algorithms.
Although Android phones can also turn off the AI function, even so, the saturation, contrast and sharpness of colors are somewhat exaggerated compared with Apple phones.

4.IPPA iPhone Photography Competition is by far the most famous international competition for mobile phone photography, which has also played a great role in consolidating the position of Apple mobile phone in the field of photography. Although some domestic mobile phone brands have also launched their own photo competitions, there is still a big gap with IPPA in terms of influence.
I think these are several reasons why many photographers like Apple phones. Of course, photographers have different needs in photography. Many photographers I know use Huawei mobile phones.
Iphone's camera algorithm is not comparable to ordinary mobile phones.
14 or so, I compared my domestic130 megapixel camera with the iPhone 800 megapixel camera, and the result was completely exploded!
Especially indoors with poor light, iphone is basically noiseless, but domestic products are noisy, and outdoor is better.
What's more, so far, the flowers and plants taken by domestic mobile phones always feel a little fake, and the photos taken by iphone are basically invisible.
Although in recent years, major manufacturers have emphasized the camera algorithm, and there are so-called authoritative organizations to evaluate the ranking, but it is still unsatisfactory!
I am not a person who worships foreign things and flatters foreign countries. The foreign moon is round, and so on. The mobile phone is over there. You can try. Be a mule or a horse!
As Lei Jun said, Apple is a great brand, which is worth learning from our domestic mobile phone manufacturers! !
As a photographer, I also use iPhone. Let me answer your question!
Why do photographers like to use iPhone? Have the following
First, more realistic colors.
As a photographer, whether the color is accurate is very important. I have used some brands of mobile phones such as Huawei, Xiaomi and Meizu, but I chose to use iPhone in the end. Because the color difference of other brands of mobile phones is unacceptable to me. Apple's color management is beyond Huawei's power at present. Therefore, the pictures I repaired with the mac will not look so different on the iPhone.
Second, the apple ecological chain
Apple's equipment is also largely due to the perfection of its ecological chain. When you get used to using airdrop to transmit between your computer and your mobile phone, you don't know what to do with other mobile phones. It's like the world is dark. When your mobile phone and computer are both Apple, your work efficiency can be greatly improved.
Third, the iPhone camera.
As a photographer, although we take serious photos with a camera. However, it is very convenient to record your life with your mobile phone. Although Huawei is indeed better than iPhone in some aspects, such as p30 telephoto and super night scene mode, these are all functions I envy, but I prefer to shoot with Apple. Huawei added ai to the native camera to make it easier to take pictures, but the bright colors made it hard for me to accept. Compared with the iPhone, the photos it takes are more realistic and the colors are more accurate.
Fourth, a unique app.
There are many apps that were first released on the ios system. Especially for photographers, many apps about photography will be castrated on the Android side, and their functions are greatly limited. Bugs often appear after adapting to Android.
I'm glad to answer this question for you. Let's walk into this problem together. Now let's discuss it together.
The following are my personal views and thoughts on this issue. I hope my sharing is helpful to you and you will like my sharing.
First of all, if you are a professional photographer, you will never take pictures with your mobile phone.
I take pictures with my mobile phone, and he will only retouch pictures in the future.
So not all professional photographers use the design of iPhone.
As for the photo level of Apple and Huawei, I will tell you in one sentence.
I want to take a stupid photo, but I don't need any parameters. Just pick it up and take it. In this case, the iPhone is better than Huawei.
If you want to take pictures, adjust the camera parameters yourself, such as exposure, sensitivity, shutter time, contrast, etc. I suggest you choose Huawei, which is far more playable than Apple.
The white balance tone of Apple camera is still relatively easy to use in mobile phones at present.
In terms of image quality and focus, Samsung has done a good job in this respect, while Huawei has done a very good job in adjusting and testing its own parameters.
The above sharing is the answer to this question, and it is my personal opinion and suggestion.
If there is anything wrong, please criticize and correct me in time.
Here, at the same time, I hope you will like my sharing. If you have a better answer to this question, I hope to share it in the comments and discuss this topic with you.
Finally, I wish everyone a happy day at work, a happy life, a healthy life every day, a smooth family, a big fortune every year and a prosperous business. Thank you.
The question itself is not rigorous. Where do you see professional photographers use more apples? I often deal with photographers and teachers of the Provincial Photographers Association. In the past two years, most photographers have been transferred to Huawei. One thing I'm sure of is that MAC used to dominate the world among enthusiasts and above, but now people who use Apple are really a minority.
I don't know why people who support Huawei are called water army. If nothing is used, they have no right to speak. I'm not sure how many people who speak here have seriously played Huawei and Apple. At the current price of two machines, I think I may still be echoing other people's comments and even more confident.
Mobile phone photography can't replace the camera at any time, let alone the SLR, even the card machine may not be comparable. Mobile phone photography is not about comparing the accuracy of color with the camera, but about the number of details. Just to solve the shooting problem. Mobile phone is the most portable, and most of the time, I can't live without my body. I can see people who are interested in it at my fingertips. Moreover, mobile phone shooting also has its own unique gameplay, such as excellent night shooting ability and slow door shooting ability, which is very enjoyable. For example, taking a picture of a crowded square, my idea is that the scenery is clear, and it takes a long time to expose the crowd as running water. Is SLR okay? Yes, add and subtract optical lenses. In broad daylight, adding and subtracting optical lenses for 30 seconds can keep the color unchanged. That lens is very high-end. Is the mobile phone okay? Huawei can, fix it on a tripod and turn on the colorful function without adding anything, shoot directly, shoot directly! And the effect is not bad. In a very dark environment, SLR handheld shooting must use high ISO, and the noise in the picture will make you feel terrible. Huawei P30 shot directly, and I was surprised by the clarity and cleanliness of the picture. I have two cats. I usually shoot with my mobile phone. Huawei's excellent optical zoom capability is still very powerful.
As for apples, I used to be a fruit fan. Huawei began to try from p9, when it was a dual-machine repair. I gave up Apple completely from p20 pro. From the shooting point of view, don't tell me whose color is good. Apple, Samsung and Huawei all have their own styles. Don't tell me who has more monosodium glutamate. In fact, jpg format is color cast as long as it is processed by algorithm. The question is whose style do you prefer. This is like the debate between Canon, Nikon and Sony in the SLR industry for many years. Very boring. And if you don't like Huawei's algorithm processing, you can come back with a dng lossless format, which is more authentic and has a large post-processing space. Apple can't shoot lossless, and the heic format after ios 1 1 is not lossless.
Finally, I want to clarify a misunderstanding. Many people say that Apple is a professional, and designers use Macs. I think there are roughly two reasons. First, Apple implements the same color management standards, so the effect of any mac machine is theoretically the same. Secondly, it looks professional and upscale, so now even the front desk reception of hair salons has iMac.
From the professional level of monitors, really rigorous image processing is something that Apple disdains, and EIZO and NEC are the kings. I naturally understand. I am a user of EIZO myself, so I can say this responsibly.
Unconsciously, I said too much. Finally, to sum up: first, if I don't use it, I have no right to speak; Second, apple is a good thing, but it is deified in most people's hearts. As a commodity, apple is the best, but as a productivity tool, its experience is really not so good; 3. As a native of China, isn't it good to support domestic products? Don't tell me which parts are from which country. This is inevitable in the era of global integration and high division of labor, as long as Huawei belongs to China!
Share it, although there is no picture. But as we all know, I use the iPhone6p, next to the entrance avenue of Kangding City, there is a prayer wheel and an embossed wall. All my friends in Tibet have noticed that I can hardly see the scenery when I shoot at night, that is, I can't distinguish the scenery because of the poor lighting. Later, Huawei mate 10 was changed, but mate 10 was completely presented. Personally, I think I can only shoot by blowing iPhone with powerful functions. In addition to the good sealing and fluency of iOS, iPhone has lagged behind its rivals in battery life, shooting, signal receiving ability and communication quality. Go to the wild or where the signal is similar, and you will understand. It's too obvious. IPhone is only suitable for children in the city now.
It is true that some photographers use iphone, but it does not mean that all photographers use Apple. After all, you can't generalize without statistics.
A few years ago, 1.iPhone did have a better camera capability, and photographers would naturally prefer it. But now with the blue-green rise of Samsung Huawei, the photo quality of Apple's mobile phone is not the strongest. Photographers also use many non-iphone.
2. Many professional photographers like to use mac Apple computer (in fact, many graphic designers also like mac), not because Apple is too tall, but because the screen display effect of mac computer is excellent (for designers, it is not that bright colors are good, real reproduction is the best), and the screen of mac has a very high degree of reproduction of photos, and the hue, saturation and chromaticity can be consistent with the actual effect by default (non-Apple computers need to adjust their color cards, which may not be adjusted well). In contrast, the quality of computers in the Microsoft camp is different, which is very troublesome to pick up. Many photographers like iphone because of the good experience of mac, and iphone also inherits the advantages of mac computer in screen display.
Compared with iphone, there are more photographers who use Apple computers, while ordinary users rarely choose Macs. Besides the price, the main reason is that there are not many games supported by mac and Microsoft.
1. I like high-quality original movies, and the more details, the better, which is convenient for me. Later, I don't like the processing map after ai calculation, or the shit map during the day and night.
2. Most high-quality image processing apps are launched by ios, or even better.
3.3. The color management of iPhone is more realistic. I don't want the processed picture to have too much color cast. Don't fool me with Beijing xx screen.
4. Many photographic equipment, such as the stabilizer of DJI unmanned machine Zhiyun, are generally supported by ios, while the Android app is shit.
There is no doubt that OS X is very powerful in design. I want an ecosystem that is convenient and fast to go out and can be seamlessly connected at home.
Is that a good reason? That's not enough. I can tell you five more.
Is there any data basis for your statistics? Why didn't I find it?
As a professional photographer, it doesn't matter what mobile phone you use to take pictures. Because, since he is a professional photographer, it is not necessary to take pictures with his mobile phone, and the mobile phone is not his main camera tool.
As a professional photographer, his requirements for photography are strict, rigorous and demanding. Judging from the current situation, the camera is still the main shooting tool for his photography. He will think carefully and grasp the light, composition method and color, so he will not give up the camera easily and take pictures with it. Even an amateur photographer like me, although my screen name is mobile phone photography, I still have to take pictures with my camera when I go out to take pictures. Mobile phones can only be auxiliary tools.
