Just a question, but where is it stated that iPhones make it possible 100%?

“The graphs are only accurate to the extent that we can automatically
detect the camera used to take the photo or shoot the video (about
2/3rds of the time). That is not usually possible with cameraphones,
therefore they are under-represented.”

So,
the source even states that only ~67% of the time is it possible to
monitor the source camera, and that is is not usually possible to tell
at all with camera phones. The fact that iPhones make it possible 100%
of the time makes these data meaningless. This is a classic case of a derivative non-representative sample of a non-representative sample being used to generalize the population.

What a load of rubbish. Do yoy guys do no checking at all? The graph shows the most popular “camera phones” on Flickr. The iPhone 4 certainly is the most popular camera on the site, but the remaining overall top 5 is made up of actual cameras by Nikon and Canon.
