Great story here: “[Man Can’t Explain Why Prize-Winning Photo is Identical to Another Photog’s](https://petapixel.com/2019/02/01/man-cant-explain-why-prize-winning-photo-is-identical-to-another-photogs/?ref=numericcitizen.me)“.

“In September 2018, the Chinese smartphone maker [OnePlus announced the winners](https://www.instagram.com/p/BnresJ4FUi-/?ref=numericcitizen.me) of a #ShotonOnePlus photo contest in India to celebrate the best photos captured by its phone cameras. One of the winning shots was a shock to photographer [Aman Bhargava](https://www.instagram.com/thedivtagguy/?ref=numericcitizen.me): it looked strangely similar to a photo he had captured two years earlier on his Canon DSLR.”

John Gruber’s take on this is priceless.

My take? We expect a lot from Apple.
