Apple shares the best "shot on iPhone" photos for World Photography Day-甜言美语网

Today, August 19, is World Photography Day, and Apple has some photos to share with you.

The company asked photographers to use their iPhones to take photos of their favorite place. As it typically happens, the results made us feel like we're doing something wrong when taking photos with our phones, because these are pretty darn great.

Some of the highlights include a stunning sunset shot of Cable Beach in Australia, shot by Korean photographer Yong-Ho Kwon (above), and an supremely well-lit photo of the Zion National Park in Utah, U.S., shot by San Francisco-based photographer and visual designer Dan Tom (below).
