Apple's iPhones are some of the best camera phones in the market right now. Though the newer iPhone models are technologically superior than their predecessors, both in terms of performance and camera capabilities, that doesn't mean that the old iPhone models aren't good, especially when it comes to clicking stunning images. This was recently proved by an Indian photographer who won an award for an image clicked using his four-year-old iPhone.

Bengaluru-based, Sreekumar Krishnan won best iPhone Photography Award (iPPA) under the Sunset category for an image clicked using the iPhone 6S. The image has been clicked after the sunset and it shows the statue of Lord Rama after shooting an arrow.

"The evening sky marred by some solitary clouds provided a perfect backdrop to this shot. This is the statue of Lord Ram, Hindu God, shot in the outskirts of Bangalore just before sunset," the description of the image states.
