Apple CEO Mocked for Blurry ‘Shot on iPhone’ Super Bowl Photo
Apple loves promoting its iPhone camera quality by sharing beautiful photos shot around the world by iPhone owners. So it’s curious that Apple CEO Tim Cook decided to share a blurry photo on Twitter while attending Super Bowl 50. And now the Internet isn’t letting Cook live it down.

…and here’s what Internet users had to say about the shot:

Come on @tim_cook ! This photo looks like your future plans for #Apple … Think different and focus!

@tim_cook @Broncos Buy iPhone, Tim. Your old Nokia is not that good for shooting movement.

@tim_cook Uh… Is the message here that iPhones take terrible photos of important moments?! Because that really seems to be the msg here.

Cook did shoot a somewhat better photo, though, and other people had nicer things to say to the CEO:
Congrats @Millerlite40 Peyton Manning @Broncos Amazing season. pic.twitter.com/3RfQml832C

Love this @tim_cook picture. It’s from a fan, not from PR. https://t.co/c3cfs0aMIy

Still, the Internet consensus appears to be that Cook’s photo isn’t a good look for iPhone’s highly touted camera, so Cook might want to think about passing his snapshots by Apple PR from here on out.
Update on 2/10/16: Tim Cook has deleted the blurry photo from his Twitter account.
