Photos you won’t believe were taken from an iPhone

The winners of the iPhone Photography Awards 2013 have been announced, and when you see the results that the contestants have produced, you’ll hardly believe that they used an iPhone.

Some of these photos you could assume that they were taken on a professional grade DSLR, but they weren’t, they were all taken using an Apple iPhone, and they are all breathtaking.

You might also assume that all these photos have been heavily processed through image editing software such as Photoshop, but the rules stipulate that you’re only allowed to use iOS apps to edit your photo — so Instagram and Hipstamatic were all game, but full Photoshop was not.

So without further adieu here are some of those breathtaking photos:
