So that makes it 'the most popular camera to be used for flickr', not the most popular camera.

Where else do you want to look? Instagram? Facebook? It dominates those as well. Point-and-shoots are dead. While all professionals will prefer DSLRs, they only comprise a small part of the population. By any account iPhone cameras are the most popular. Anyway they're only saying popular, not "highest megapixel" or "highest quality" which would be something to be contended.

Why are you being so prickly by a statement they've been making undisputed for years? Apple likely has much deeper market research than you or I do, and so do their competitors.

  Undisputed? How? Also, if they have much deeper research, why don't they come up with a link or something to support their claim? Why is asking for a reference offending so many people here?

    Undisputed in that in the 5 or so years they've been making it, it's been undisputed - even by competitors that would have good reason to prove it wrong. We've been able to verify it from third party sources like Flickr for those 5 years as well. People are annoyed at you because your original post was rudely curt and demanding for a throwaway marketing line that as I said above, we have no reason to doubt. As much as you'd like them to, no company is ever going to thoroughly reference their press releases. If you want sources, the media contact details for Apple are readily available on their site.

      Me: "How it's undisputed?" You: "Undisputed in that for 5 years or so it's been undisputed". :). Then you went on to say the same thing that it's been popular on Flickr. I'm done here.

        If it's been undisputed in the time they've been making the claim - how is it disputed? I'm honestly very confused about you. There seems to be a great communication gap here between you and the people responding to you that might be helped by you explaining your motivations in asking the question. Why won't you accept Flickr as an indicative proxy as to the accuracy of the statement? Surely you realise it's impossible to provide a perfect measurement of all camera use for all photos published and unpublished in the world? I see no reason and you've provided none to not use proxies to give us some kind of answer.
