Apple's "Shot on an iPhone 6" campaign consists of billboards of beautiful vistas and high-quality images taken with the company's flagship smartphones.

Designed to showcase the impressive quality of the latest iPhone's camera, the campaign's only flaw is that it ignores the most common type of photos iPhone users take: bad ones.

Two pranksters working in the advertising world -- who asked Mashable to remain anonymous -- set out to solve that problem by installing their own satirical versions of the ads around the San Francisco area. They uploaded images of their work to a Tumblr called "Also shot on iPhone 6."

"All the photos Apple selected for the campaign are beautiful. Our thought was that people don't always take pretty pictures on their phones, so we thought it would be funny to show the other non-beautiful photos people take," the creators told Mashable in an email.

The pranksters insist that they love Apple's campaign, but just enjoy poking fun at their industry.
