Mind blowing winning snaps from the annual iPhone Photo Awards have been revealed -- and it's hard to believe they were taken on a mobile. The competition only allows photos taken with an iPhone or iPad. This year's Grand Prize Winner and Photographer of the Year Award went to Dimpy Bhalotia, a street photographer from the United Kingdom, who used an iPhone X to capture her image, "Flying Boys," taken in Banaras, India. In a press release, the photo is described as follows: "Three boys take flight from a wall into the Ganges River, their expressive limbs filling the sky with both tension and exuberance."
