Apple has officially joined Instagram. The tech giant has always been conspicuously silent on social media, but as the iPhone becomes an increasingly powerful and popular tool for capturing high-quality photos and videos, Apple finally caved and joined Instagram to share some of its favorite #ShotoniPhone creations.
The news broke yesterday on Mashable, where the @Apple account debuted alongside a few promises: namely, that you will never seen "photo galleries, commercials or other company marketing," on the Instagram account. No, @Apple is all about featuring "curated and credit" photos shot by iPhone users around the world.
Or, put in more inspirational terms by Apple itself:
So far, the account includes several videos featuring different photographers talking over a slideshow of their work, explaining why they capture the kinds of photos they do.
If you want to be considered for a feature, all you have to do is tag your photos with #ShotoniPhone and wait for a call. According to Mashable, Apple says they will "never use anyone's photos without permission," so that tag doesn't sign away any photo rights or anything. . . it just puts you on Apple's radar.
Check out the @Apple account for yourself here, and let us know what you think in the comments.
