14 DAY TRIAL // Apple touts the iPhone camera as one of the best currently available on a smartphone, so it might come as a big surprise when the CEO of the company himself posts a super blurry picture that’s most likely taken with the iPhone.
Tim Cook couldn’t stay away from the Super Bowl frenzy on Sunday, so he rushed to Twitter to congratulate the Broncos on winning the game, but his tweet went viral for a completely different reason.
The photo that he posted together with the message “Colorado Rocky Mountain High congrats @Broncos!” and that everyone presumed he shot with his iPhone is so blurry that it instantly became an Internet sensation. And unsurprisingly, the Internet is a cruel world, so the majority of people actually made fun on Tim Cook and his iPhone shot.
“Did you use a potato for this?”
Certainly, Tim Cook should have taken this photo twice before posting it to Twitter, especially because this is clearly shot while moving, so it’s barely possible to tell the focus point. And people on Twitter offered some advice to shoot better pictures.
“Tim, Shoot'em Landscape. Portrait for a person. Landscape for everything else. Like a TV screen,” one person said while another one recommended some alternatives to the iPhone. “If you need good camera better buy Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ or Nexus 6p,” he posted.
Then, there are the people who compared the iPhone with various things. “Did you shoot this with a potato?” one Twitter user asked while another claimed he used a toaster for the photo.
Certainly, this is a photo that Tim Cook should have never posted, or at least he could have posted a text telling everyone that it was only supposed to capture the excitement after the game, when it’s nearly impossible to take a good picture with everything and everyone moving around.
But what it remains is a bad picture. This is a bad picture, Tim.
Update: It looks like Tim Cook has since removed the tweet following the craze that started online after he posted the blurry photo. You can still see the picture at the top of this article though.
