Centuries later, in 1021 C.E, an Iraqi scientist Alhazen described the camera obscura (image projection) in his optics book, one of the two critical principles for the photography we know today, the second principle being that the exposure to light can cause visibly alternation of some substances.

The camera used a flexible film-roll that did not require a cumbersome solid plate change that earlier models did and had a box\u00a0that held 100 film exposures. The company manufactured many innovative products since and was a dominant player in the photographic market for many years. [6-7]<\/p>\n<h4>The shift to digital.<\/h4>\n<p>The introduction of digital cameras in the 1990&#8217;s revolutionized photography. By 1991, Kodak introduced its digital camera. Canon, Nikon, Pentax, and other manufacturers soon followed. As digital images were transmitted and edited faster than film, by the end of the 20th century most newspapers and magazines moved to a digital workflow process and by 2007 many amateur pictures were taken on digital cameras. Users no longer had to take a photo and wait for days, at times months before seeing their photos. Moreover, users could take as many photos as they\u2019d like only at the cost of their battery life and\/or storage capacity. The stand-alone digital camera was short lived though &#8211; with the introduction of cellphones, tablets and most notably smartphones, less and less pictures were taken on dedicated digital cameras. [1, 6-7]<\/p>\n<h2>The introduction of smartphones and the winners of the newly emerged smartphone ecosystem.<\/h2>\n<p>The most profound change to digital photography came in 2007 with the introduction of Apple\u2019s first iPhone. Although the iPhone was not the first phone to include a camera\u2013 Apple integrated an easy to use camera interface, with intuitive downloading as well as sharing tools. The smartphone ecosystem boomed quickly thereafter; manufacturers, tech companies, developers and end users all observed and embraced the value created by the integration of a mobile phone with a camera. Slow to adopt the change, Kodak filed chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2012. Although it had developed its first phone incorporated with a digital camera in 2014, it had yet to recover.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, it was not only Apple that captured the value created by the integration of the digital camera with a phone. The phone was now no longer \u201cjust a phone\u201d but a device incorporated with the internet and many other potential features. An entire smartphone ecosystem- far beyond the use of a camera &#8211; has emerged with many winners, among them were other mobile manufacturers, content\/info and services providers, access providers, app developers and the end users.\u00a0[8]<\/p>\n<p>In this post, I will primarily address the companies that captured\u00a0value from the phone-camera integration.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8957\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8957\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8957\" src=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/4.png 905w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/4-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/4-768x401.png 768w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/4-600x313.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8957\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Smartphone Ecosystem [8]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>More smartphones<\/h4>\n<p>After the introduction of Apple\u2019s iPhone numerous manufacturers (Samsung, LG and others along with chip\/processor manufacturers) introduced their own version of a smartphone thereby creating an entire market worth billions of dollars [9].\u00a0 These days there is such variety that consumers select smartphones based on size, price, storage, screen resolution and other features. One of the key features that manufacturers compete on is the quality of camera. Megapixels, front camera, back camera, modes (such as portrait, panorama) etc. became key differentiators when an individual searched for his\/her ideal phone[10]. Consumers were willing to spend their top dollar to purchase a phone with flawless photo-taking capabilities. Bloggers and thought leaders emerged in comparing and contrasting photos taken on different cameras and influence purchasing decisions.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8964\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8964\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/pics.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8964 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/pics-1024x257.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/pics-1024x257.png 1024w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/pics-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/pics-768x193.png 768w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/pics-600x151.png 600w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/pics.png 1271w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8964\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Blog camera quality comparison [11]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Content info and services<\/h4>\n<p>Much is to be said about how content information and services benefited from the start-phone ecosystem such as Google, Netflix and more. Focusing on the camera related advances &#8211; YouTube for example was able to generate huge traction. Due to individuals taking photos and film all day long with their phone and the easy accessibility to upload those videos with a click of a button, content was influx. These days, every second, 7 hours of YouTube content is being uploaded to their servers and is watched a hundredfold more.

Facebook, for example, launched in 2004 introduced its mobile app in 2007 [13]\u00a0No longer were the days that you came back home after a long day to see what happened on your feed or with your \u2018friends\u2019 for just a few minutes, now you could take a photo in the middle of the day, upload, download and comment on others\u2019 pictures throughout the day increasing time spent on the platform. Today there are <i>numerous<\/i>\u00a0apps that benefit from the incorporated camera Twitter, Snap, Pinterest, Face-time to name a few. Moreover, there was a a new way of business and the launch of companies based on the smartphone\u2019s camera: Tab, for example, enables you to take a photo of a bill at the end of a meal, digitalizes it and help split the tab easily. With SkinVision, users take photos of their moles or spots and analyzes them instantly. Goggle Translate and CamDictionary introduced a translator for those traveling to foreign countries and allows users to photograph text to be translated into various languages, apps that test a new haircut before you go to the salon and so many more [14]<\/p>\n<h4>Users<\/h4>\n<p>Users are clear winners of this transformation, although some may argue that as a society, we have become addicted to out devices, no one can deny the fact that life has become much simpler and connected. With only one device we can talk and text whoever we need, we can share our location, pictures, even alert of risks and wrong doings we see around us.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s in store for the future?<\/h3>\n<p>With the integration of cameras and phones, an entire ecosystem emerged that was able to create and capture value estimated at trillions of dollars (and counting) around the world. Most traditional camera makers, namely Kodak, fell behind\u00a0[16,17]. The smartphone ecosystem will continue to thrive with introduction of even more innovations both related (and not) to the incorporated camera on the phone. The success will largely depend on the ability of manufacturers to own customers\u2019 moments and to use artificial intelligence to simplify the consumers\u2019 experiences. Smartphones must also leverage web technologies in order to support experiences and enable more immersive experiences both inside and outside consumers\u2019 homes.<\/p>\n<h3>Sources<\/h3>\n<p>[1]\u00a0Brabant, Meghan. 2019. &#8220;A Brief Timeline Of The History Of Photography!&#8221;.\u00a0<i>Dickerman Prints &#8211; Your San Francisco Custom Photo Lab<\/i>. https:\/\/www.dickermanprints.com\/blog\/a-brief-timeline-of-the-history-of-photography.<br \/>\n[2]\u00a0&#8220;History Of Photography | Inventions &amp; Events&#8221;. 2019.\u00a0<i>Encyclopedia Britannica<\/i>. https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/technology\/photography.<br \/>\n[3]\u00a0&#8220;History Of Photography&#8221;. 2019.\u00a0<i>En.Wikipedia.Org<\/i>. https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/History_of_photography.<br \/>\n[4]\u00a0&#8220;The History Of Photography &#8211; Nicephore Niepce House Photo Museum&#8221;. 2019.\u00a0<i>Nicephore Niepce House Photo Museum<\/i>. http:\/\/www.photo-museum.org\/photography-history\/.<br \/>\n[5]\u00a0&#8220;When Was The First Photo Taken?
