Can I use an iphone older than iphone 11?

Hi Everybody!

Thanks everyone so much, I did not except to get so much help! 

I read all the replies and I think the answer is to go back to using my Leica. I had not submitted iPhone photos before and I thought I'd give it a go. Everyone's replies also helped me understand other aspects 😉 of stock photography. 

Thanks again and Merry Christmas to all,

Harrison

Hello,

Commercial value is one such thing on Adobe Stock. Stock is all about commercialisation. How can they be used is a big thing to consider!

The tractor shot probably can be rejected for IP. Ford on the tractor is a problem!(Probably.)

Another thing about smartphone cameras in general is that they have small sensors, so it can make it difficult to enlarge without showing some of the defects. If you enlarge your shots to say 200% you get to see JPEG compression artifacts. 

It doesn't matter if the phone is iPhone or any Android device. They all have small sensors, so the problem is the same. The photos can look great on a small screen, but on a large screen, or printed large, not so much.

Post a couple of examples here.  It's hard to say anything constructive without seeing the rejected image (full size).

It could be the camera or your technique.  But we can't say without seeing the image.

Mobile phone photographs are not rejected just because they're from phone cameras, but because they frequently lack the technical quality to be accepted to Adobe Stock. I have had some images from my iPhone 8 accepted. The quality you are able to achieve from a phone camera usually depends on available lighting. If the light is great, and you can hold steady enough to get sharp focus, and you know how to compose properly, you can achieve nice photos. Keep in mind that most will still require some basic edits before uploading to Adobe Stock. Zoom in to every image between 100-200% and look for sharp focus, underexposure, overexposure, chromatic aberration, compression artifacts, etc.
