For a long time now, since 2009, Apple's iPhone has been the most popular imaging device uploaded on Flickr.

 

What Apple is doing to develop the iPhone's controls that many enthusiasts, and all serious photographers demand.  With every control set to Auto every shot taken in any camera is nothing more than the old style Point-N-Shoot camera. Nothing wrong using one, but when you want to allow for more light, or a longer exposure, or wider aperture you are faced with using a regular DSLR camera body which in turn forces you to take a much larger image device along. The trouble is there are times when that larger device is far too inconvenient. Thus the iPhone's attempt at manual controls involving ISO setting, Aperture and Shutter Speedis becoming the standard. Also since Apple has opened up the iOS software code restrictions, developers will be writing to alter even the Auto-Mode sensitivity for better auto exposure settings. 

As for the Nokia 1020 and the HTC Sense 6 phones, allowing for white balance adjustments, Apple takes these settings to a whole new level. In the near future Apple will be taking phone imaging as serious as they have taken the cell phone itself. Here's an article from anandtech that explains this in more detail for the photo-files among us.
