Notice how all the criticism involves how much money apple has.
Do you all complain when stores/restaurants reshare your ig posts? Or is the buzz of social media fame enough?
If I am reading this correctly, winners of the contest will be compensated. Apple caved to the whining for PR. what’s the issue? Issue has been resolved.

Um, apple was very clear that the photos would be used in advertising. That’s why we think you whiners are being ridiculous.
They didn’t lie or deceive people into thinking the photos were just for a “contest” that wouldn’t be shared publicly. The prize of the contest was having your photo used in advertising.
And that’s precisely why so many people entered...same reason they share all their photos for free on IG...vanity and narcissism
“From January 22 to February 7, Apple is looking for outstanding photographs for a Shot on iPhone Challenge. A panel of judges will review worldwide submissions and select 10 winning photos, to be announced in February. The winning photos will be featured on billboards in select cities, Apple retail stores and online.”

No, it's a marketing / ad campaign that they're calling a "contest" where they wanted a free license to use the pictures in their marketing / advertising material.
