When you're Tim Cook -- the CEO of a company that sells about 75 million iPhones every quarter -- you can't just post a blurry Super Bowl photo on the Internet and get away with it.
Cook posted a photo on Sunday -- presumably taken with an iPhone -- of the Broncos' celebration.

The amount of backlash Cook faced on Twitter will likely have him think twice before posting a photo online (or he'll just hire a pro to do it for him).
Some made fun of Cook's iPhone. Some made fun of his photo-taking abilities. And some were just mean for no good reason.
@tim_cook @Broncos Buy iPhone, Tim. Your old Nokia is not that good for shooting movement.— Nikolay Pokrovsky (@NikoPokrovsky) February 8, 2016

@tim_cook was this pic taken with a toaster?— Konstantinos (@KKaplanis) February 8, 2016
@tim_cook Uh... Is the message here that iPhones take terrible photos of important moments?! Because that really seems to be the msg here.— Rich Brome (@rbrome) February 8, 2016
Sure, we hold Cook to higher standards than the average person who posts a photo. But come on, Internet: The man was excited. His team won. Most importantly, we've all posted a blurry photo now and again. Give the man a break.
Cook did redeem himself minutes later, though, with a much sharper photo. Guess the ole' iPhone is not that bad at taking photos after all.
Congrats @Millerlite40 Peyton Manning @Broncos Amazing season. pic.twitter.com/3RfQml832C— Tim Cook (@tim_cook) February 8, 2016
