Here is Apple's iPhone int Gallery.
(Click 4 big pic.)
I really like this one, fantastic tones, colors, composition. I wonder how much is incredible luck, how much is leg work, and how much if any is photoshopping.
And this similarly-themed one by another photographer, is actually another of my favorites. (Long time readers know that I have a weakness for a touch of the abstract in photos.)

Nice pix and impressive quality of image, too. Another option, at least for the amateur, to carry when traveling.
Wow, you convinced Mike Johnston to upgrade to an iPhone 6! Have you ever thought about a career in sales? ;-)
No, I don't like salespeople, at least not the best salespeople. They seem to to just trample over people.
... On the other hand, the most successful sales person I know is also one of my favorite people, and what's remarkable about her is that I have *never* seen her being pushy in any way. So it can be done right.
These look really good, but then I Google comparisons of iphone 6 photos and a standard digital camera and the results of the phone weren't that great. So, I don't know if these have been manipulated or something because the sharpness, the colors, etc. are all really good.
I don't know, maybe there were special circumstances. Here is a review from one of the most respected camera review sites in the world:

Qoute:
"The iPhone 6 Plus does not revolutionize smartphone imaging nor is it outstanding in any particular area. However, it is simply a very good smartphone camera all around that delivers well-exposed, detailed and sharp images and video at the touch of a button. The HDR and panorama functions are among the best we have seen and more manual control over imaging parameters is available via third-party camera apps."
So, probably good enough for someone just taking snapshots. It might be good enough if you're on a trip and don't want to carry a camera. (Although the iphone 6 is a pretty big phone.)
There is no reason to let the iPhone talk oneself out of carrying a dedicated camera. A Sony RX 100 II is an *awesome* camera, and fits in your pocket. And it has zoom!
I think the reason this gallery is notable is that it may teach us that if we don't have a camera on us, but any phone with a good camera, there is no reason to make a shot, the phone will probably serve better than one had imagined.
If you want to extend the capabilities of the iPhone camera, check out this app. Although I don't own it, I'm tempted to try it out!
Sorry, that seems to be only for a specific, big, Canon camera.
But there are good apps, like Camera+
$969 for an iphone6 plus, $500 for that Sony camera... I don't think I want to carry that much stuff, but certainly not stuff that expensive. Plus I don't take many photos when traveling anyway.
