This is a common misconception. A picture may be worth far more than 1000 words, actually, depending on varying circumstances. Photos taken by modern iPhones, one of the most popular phone choices today, are 12 megapixels, or 12, 000, 000 pixels. iPhone images are taken in RGB scale, which means 3 bytes per pixel. This totals to approximately 36, 000, 000 bytes, or characters, per image. According to several sources, the average word in the English language is 4.7 characters long. This means that the average iPhone image contains 7, 659, 574.47 words, much longer than the supposed 1000. However, in certain image formats, a fourth value is added for transparency – alpha. This brings a 33% increase in bytes, and therefore words, per image. So there could be as many as 10, 212, 765.9 words in a single picture taken on a modern iPhone.

Tl;dr: You are wrong, a picture is worth far more than 1000 words (+10, 000, 000). Please aim for greater accuracy in further posts.
