Learn English – Which preposition to use with “stay current”

I fear your categorization is based on unsound foundations, but let's just look at along:

The signs were on buildings along Main Street.

Passive.

He traveled along roads that were long and painted purple.

Active.

Assuming that I correctly understand how you're categorizing prepositions, then it's a preposition that can be in either state.

Shot with an iPhone.

This is clearly a correct use. The picture was shot. The iPhone was used to do this. There is a sense of with that relates this use of action to tool.

Shot on an iPhone.

This is interestingly correct, in two different ways.

The pictures was shot. Historically, on was used to relate the act of taking pictures to the type of film stock used, but has a very long use referring to the type of equipment used more generally. While one might object that the relationship between act and medium originally suggested by on relates more to the film than the device, the use for referring to the camera too is well-established. And were it not well-established, we would have to coin it any way, to refer to the virtual medium that is used instead of film stock.

On is also used to refer to the relationship between a computer program and the computer that executes it. When you use an iPhone or any other such phone* to take a photograph, you use one or more camera applications on that device. (On referring both to the relationship of the software to the device, and to the relationship of the act of using the software to the device).

It's amusing that the correctness of this stands up in the face of different attitudes to the device: If we consider it as comparable to all other cameras, then we would use on because we would with any other camera. If however we dismiss it as a camera, then we should forget about what terms are used with cameras and consider it as a small electronic computer, and use on.

Both are hence defensible.

In terms of attestation, both can be found frequently used, whether of phones, other digital cameras, or of film-based photography too.

Now. If you were writing in detail about the photographic process, there might be an advantage in distinguishing between the medium (whether digital or different types of film stock) and the device, and so say e.g. "shot on high-speed black and white film with a Nikon F3". In the context of such use we might favour with over on, though the distinction between medium and device is weaker with digital. In general, the nits just aren't there to pick.

*This itself showing the way words from earlier technological stages carry through to later developments; it's increasingly rare to carry a phone these days, as more and more of us carry small pocket-sized computers which have mobile telephony as just one of their many potential uses, but we tend to still call them "phones".
