       | Like finishing a good book, I'll miss following this person's
       | story! (for a few minutes)

           | I've run exiftool over some of his photos, and some of them

           | phone models could be found in there.
           | 
           | And some of the images contained "Profile Copyright: Apple
           | Computer Inc." but I don't know if this means that some were
           | shot on an iPhone.

           | Fun fact: the webcam on the observation hill
           | (https://brr.fyi/posts/observation-hill) is an AXIS Q6055-E.
