iPhone 6 poor picture quality

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one so upset by this!

Apple, please FIX THIS! I am So saddened & disheartened to look back at my photos (at least with my iphone 6) only to see they look TERRIBLE as though I put some weird effect on them all! PLEASE FIX THIS! This is Unbelievable for an Apple product, especially one touting itself as a go-to camera! I have a very nice & large DSLR but, for me, the whole point of this phone was ease of the great camera. 😟 I am So very sad & Angry about this. C'mon! Fix it.

DDid my post not ... post?

I Have the same complaints. Posting here is useless. Send feedback to Apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

OH look, Apple still hasn't fixed the weird glitch with this form.

EVery new line has two capital letters.

AByway ... Wait. What? Autocorrect is also broken on here? Seriously does Apple not test this stuff?

ANYWAY: the noise-reduction algorithm is WAY too aggressive. It's also weirdly selective. It attacks hair on my cat (no flash) but not the texture of my sweatpants right next to her. With flash, there's no aggressive noise reduction (but of course the image highlights are solid white and awful).

ive already sent my own feedback to Apple but I thought I'd add my voice here. Maybe they could bother to correct the weirdness with this forum text box and iPhones as well, i mean, Apple product on behaving badly on Apple websites.... [shakes head]

Same exact thing here on iPhone 6S. My iPhone 5S never had this issue. Ive noticed it for years with my friends Android phones (don't remember what devices).

Extremely ******. Iphone 6S camera is the worst I've ever used. But supposedly they have 800 people working on just the camera alone. How can they not notice this??

Is there anyone who has done tests with App 645PRO? http://jag.gr/645pro/

Take the same photo with iPhone 4S and iPhone 6S and send to email in original size: 4S weighs 2.4 Mbytes, 6S (which has a higher resolution) 2.1 Mbytes. This is proof of the stupidity of choosing a compression algorithm very aggressive. Someone has done tests with APP 645Pro that saves images in Raw?

Hello.

I Have downloaded Camera+ app to see if raw (tiff) images would do the work.

After taking the picture the size of picture increased from standard 1.9mb to 11,2mb.

Unfortunatelly there is no difference between these two 😟

So even if you use app that doesnt compress pictures the watercolor effect is still there 😟

Hope my answer will help.

Have a nice day.

Excitedly purchased an iphone 6s this past week, however today - sadly it sits "returned" to the store I purchased it from. Being an avid photographer - for me, a quality camera is the most important feature of a smartphone. The iPhone 5s was the first camera I deemed "good enough" to serve as my day to day camera - and I loved it. Was great for nature shots and video documenting my adventures..

Brings me to the iPhone 6s.. Took early morning nature shots the first day, and the lighting was awful. Tweaked w/the settings, tried turning Live photo off -- didn't make much difference. This past week spent a few days at the beach. Decided to take my old point to shoot and do a side by side comparison. Nearly all of the 6s photos had lighting and/or clarity issues. Out of a hundred or so photos, only perhaps 20% or so of them were what I consider acceptable quality. Most of the photos shared out for the holidays were taken by my trusty point to shoot.

The 6s is a beautiful phone, however - in my case, camera not up to par..

Even with the APP 645 PRO it saves file raw 30 Mbits, but not better. Then the problem is probably the sensor adopted from 6S

My husband bought me the 6s for Christmas, a step up from my 5s, or so I thought. With so much hype on the new camera features of the 6s, I was hugely disappointed that the photo quality (even with live switched off) were grainy, pixelated, with a watercolour effect. Having played with it over the last couple of days, and searching online, I cannot see a remedy, so sadly I think hubby will be taking it back to Apple for a full refund in the basis that it does not fit the purpose it was sold as providing. very disappointed!!! If anyone knows a fix, please let me know!

Interesting (and obviously vast) thread. A friend of mine has an iPhone 6S Plus and having seen some images from it, I'm pretty impressed so far (I have an iPhone 5). By and large the 6S Plus images appear fairly crisp and well lit (and yes I have zoomed in to scrutinise the details). On the downside, I don't personally think the camera is quite up to 12 megapixels and I'd like Apple to provide a Medium resolution option to shoot at say 6-8 megapixels all the time, which is in any case always enough for my purposes. Of course this is academic in that I don't presently own a 6S of any description and have no plans to get one any time soon.

Same here. Got two 6s's for xmas and they both have the same issue. I don't even know if I can return them since we won't have any phones and have to buy something else. The photos are unbearable to look at. Our 5s's were taking much better photos. We are working with an apple tech support person but considering this has been an issue for months, I doubt that anything will happen anytime soon.

I am attaching two photos, not edited. I took a bunch of photos randomly, with both phones, at similar lighting settings.Made sure to turn off all filters, and touched on the subject before taking the photo to make sure that it is focused properly on the subject. The first one is 5s and the second one is 6s. While everything looks similar in these photos, in the next post I will post the cropped versions, with similar zoom. You will see that the 6s quality looks much worse than the 5s. I did not want to rotate the photos since I wanted to upload directly what was taken by the phones.

Here are the cropped versions. The only thing I did was to crop the photo, and not edit either one in any way. The first one is 5s and the second one is 6s. The face shows all the noise level between the 5s and the 6s. This example shows the watercoloring (Monet) effect around the eyes and in the face. And this is not only on these two pictures, the 6s is consistently messing up the colors and patterns on skin / faces. HDR is off, Live Photos is off. Any suggestions before I return the 6s phones?

How can we get Apple to address this issue? It seems like its everyone 6S's. Im basically going to have to deal with it. Can't wait til the 7 comes out. Might even get the 7c if that releases sooner and i can test some pictures before I get it.

My latest return date is Jan 15, so I will go to the Verizon store this week to ensure that I can return them. I don't think it will get resolved anytime soon, so I don't want to be stuck with these phones. I have to buy one used 5s before I return the new ones though. Hopefully I will get lucky and find a good, clean 5s. My wife still has hers, but my son took mine.
