Iphone 11 Pro Extreme lens flare

Thats a complete lie. My old s8 never had lens flare and comparing it to this 11 issue is embarrassing for a phone 2 generations newer. Same 12m camera, same resolution. It’s unacceptable to see lens flaring get worse in newer phones from older.

Thanks ridiculous. I have never ever seen a phone with such issues and I’ve had a lot. The lenses on theses are also hyper sensitive to smudges and have to be constantly wiped off. Again I’ve never seen anything quite like this.

Mine was too, and so far no difference is noticeable, . And btw, smudges become present when the lens is in direct contact with something. Which if your case has a raised edge and you don’t purposefully rub things on it, you won’t get smudges. Owned the phone since launch never had 1 smudge so either I’m right or lucky.

My new camera has helped significantly. There are still issues. I still believe the choice of anti flare/glare coating or it’s application has something to

do with this but the AI software may also play a role. It still annoys me for a “pro” cameras that you have to use other apps to get pro features. Come on Apple.

Guys i have the same in my video recordings. Its not nice buying something you really wanted for a long time and then it does not work as advertised. Apple claimed its the best camera yet on A Apple device. I have had at least 5 or 6 iPhones before this and never once come across this issue. Here is a link to my video recordings with my iPhone 11 Pro Max - https://youtu.be/ep0zlpRa438

Like the butterfly keyboard of the MacBook like, if the consumers don’t do anything and just accept the faulty camera design then they will continue to make the same mistakes It doesn’t matter if the effect is fractional or non existent, if I don’t complain then some other person may buy the phone not knowing that it has a glaring issue.

I agree. These companies are more than willing to take your money but

when it comes to fixing glaring problems they do not move unless masses start screaming. The implementation of iCloud storage still makes me want to

spit nails.

Its like what do people think review pages are for. If the word isn’t spread about an issue, people will buy the phone expecting a perfect camera when it’s not. I say “I” as in the average consumer, people look for reviews and a negative one doesn’t look good on Apple. Words don’t do much, but if they spread to media outlets and get attention, it will affect sale numbers which Apple does care about

I am an amateur photographer and I know how to add flare using my DSLR. Given same angle and composition, my iPhone has too much flare compare to my Huawei Mate 20 Pro (2018 phone). My canon has no flare. There is a reason for my DSLR price tag. But I don't see why my iphone 11 has way too much flare given the price tag.

Exactly. For a device marketed for professionals, the excessive amounts of flare compared to its competitors needs to be acknowledged by bigger media outlets. I don’t care if the sensor is more “complex”, my galaxy s8 has a 12 megapixel sensor of the same size makes this inexcusable. I’m too invested in this ecosystem to switch back to Android, and I frankly enjoy IOS more, so I’ll deal with it.

It’s a big disappointment to me. I did not have this problem with my last iPhone. I’ve never experienced this in such a bad way. The photos are unusable and it’s not acceptable. That should be an anti-reflective coating or something to prevent this. And this is a $1200 phone that brags about his cameras, did they even test them in real life situations?

I bought this phone to take video footage. It's not possible to take video footage at night without ghosting. It's the worst iPhone i ever owned. And i started using iPhone from the iPhone 3G days !!!

I think you misinterpreted what that review says. They say it generally controls flaring well, but they did find small flare artifacts in samples of photos. Admitting what we are pointing out through this discussion.

Thanks, The lenses were cleaning and every reproduce this so many times. If I go down to town and take pictures in the evening, I get this 100% all the time. In addition, I went to Apple and they said to replace the lenses, but then they replace the phone and this phone is doing the same thing as the first one.

In addition, I went to Apple and they said to replace the lenses, but then they replace the phone and this phone is doing the same thing as the first one. It seems like, if there’s any lighting at night the flared happen on all lenses, as long as I’m pulling in the camera away from any light source, I get decent pictures. That was just a test from this new replacement phone, I was just re-producing some of the conditions. Is there any software or anything that may reduce this. I have other pictures that I haven’t pointed out the sun and I get the flair, these are just examples.

Is there a software that we can use to prevent the night shots, the city is beautiful and I’m trying to capture the beauty without having so much distortion on the images.

Please explain this? Is this normal camera flare? This video was from the original person that started this thread. This more of camera reflection/ghosting issues than the normal camera flares you're talking about.
