Yellow/blue streaks pictures

I thought for a long time what the problem was, I tried different settings. My friend and I have the same problem on XR. The reason was in HDR mode. First you need to disable Smart HDR in the settings, and then in the camera itself, turn off the HDR button on top, then the bands disappear. This appeared after iOS 13. I think they will fix it later.

Yes me too - only thing that works for me is turning off hdr in camera - so far that works as I do t see those lines yet

I can confirm that it does indeed seems to have been fixed in 13.3.1.

This is from 13.3:

This one is from 13.3.1.

I have the XS Max and it happens daily on mine too. I followed the suggestion I saw here about turning the Smart HDR off in the camera settings and making sure HDR was off when opening the camera to take a picture, and that took away the issue for the last week or so. Today I turned it back on to see if it happened and it happened instantly. This is so annoying. Apple needs to send out an email or something to it’s users to show problems that are going on and what they are working on to solve them! I have had other issues with my Apple phones and they always act like they haven’t seen the issue before and then I see the issue in forums like this and sometimes there is never an answer! I worked with Apple support for many hours before to try to get pictures off of my last iPhone and they never came back with a solution after many hour long phone calls. It probably has something to do with the high efficiency picture format that they never notified me that they changed my settings to with some update along the lines. They need to do a better job helping their costumers! I hope an answer comes soon. I had less issues with my iPhone 8 until that one started to not even make phone calls or video sounds, and pictures wouldn’t move off of it onto my computer. Ugh.

I have the same issue since upgrading to iOS 13. Turning off hdr does work and if you have ‘Live Photos’ turned on, you can scroll through the Live Photo and the lines do go away. It’s a pain having to do this, but it does work.

I had the same issue! I fixed it by turning off the smart HDR in the camera settings. Hope this helps!

Heyy! Just turn the smart HDR off in the camera settings! Hope this helps!

Mine too but i tried turning off the hdr in the settings and it works, but i hope apple will fix this issue on the next software update.

I'm having the same issue. But I also noticed that if I am using Live Photo and I select a different frame in the edit option the photo is clear. Not an ideal solution, but a workaround. I've been able to salvage many photos this way. I always shoot in live.

For that reason, I think it's a software issue more than the hardware of the camera. Hopefully an update will solve the issue. I didn't notice this until somewhat recently on my phone. I've been using my XR since late April.

It’s 100% a software bug. Someone on reddit mentioned that they are working directly with some Apple engineers after escalating this issue in a ticket and they are working on a fix, so let’s hope that’s true.

So far the only workaround that works 100% of the time is shooting RAW. Turning off HDR or saving both photos also works 90% of the time.

I have had the exact same issue. Have tried wiping the phone, doesn't work. So far, disabling Smart HDR and HDR has fixed the problem.

However.... I bought this phone because I take a lot of pictures, and I have actually ended up using my Google Pixel which was cheaper and takes far better, issue free images.

1. I expect to be able to use this device fully, I am not able to. I don't expect this from Apple products and if I don't see a swift remedy on this from Apple, I will be returning this less than 1.5 year old handset back for a full refund (Consumer Rights Act 2015 (UK)) as it is not fit for purpose and Apple do not appear to have addressed this issue or provided any proper fix for it.

1. Secondly, I have stacks of images with these streaks which I am unable to remove from the image rendering them spoiled. Again, this is not what I expect from an Apple product. My issues started in October, at the same sort of time this thread was raised, this shouldn't be an issue, this needs to have been addressed by now.

WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECTIFIED APPLE?

Hello Sranvalsi and every Xr User. I too have this issue and love this iPhone camera yet experience the camera issue of lines with HDR under certain conditions 😒😡👎🏻 which is completely UNACCEPTABLE even if it’s a flaw in their software which their millions of software developers should be looking at ! I have been able to use HDR without issues but only daytime. Night time I can sometimes get HDR to work fine but a good part of time I turn off HDR. Additionally I’ve gotten smart HDR to work during the day and it’s well pretty great. After much time and research I’ve found that it happens typically for me with LED lighting and florescent lighting. Both types of lighting are particularly bad for pictures. On a side note I bought some camera gear that will really improve and increase the iPhone XR camera’s photo capabilities and unlock camera potential! After using it can really rival the 11’s camera quality when used properly. Telephoto lense by Sandmarc includes iPhone case with camera mount, lense covers and pouch, plus a camera adapter for your own case. The price is 100$ . Best quality and price! Highly recommended by EMT on Youtube and other you tubers. I love mine and my skepticism was obliterated after using it for a month. 2nd item: hybrid Filters (130$) really help with the polarization and excessive / bad exposure , lighting, and poor saturation in iPhone pictures. I use them and combined with the iPhone editing software you can make remarkable pictures. Ps. These filters can screw onto the lenses they have. Lastly on behalf of all Xr users with this issue. I posted this tweet and Apple support responded.

without hybrid filters shot on XR

Using hybrid filters and some editing (minor) the filters help bring out the clouds and lost details due to over exposure and dull colors. ND64/PL.

Hi,

Same issues for me on iPhone XR even with the last iOS 13.3.

Turning off smart HDR helps.

I hope that Apple will fix this soon!

I just got back from the Apple store after doing an entire reinstall of iOS 13. Nothing works. Turning off HDR fixes the issue for me but that should NOT be accepted. This SUCKS. COME ON APPLE

I brought my phone to the Apple store yesterday and after running diagnostics and everything, I was told to restore my phone and wait a week to see if that fixes it. They think that it is a glitch in the system from one of the updates. If it continues doing it in a week, I’m to bring it back and they will replace the camera.
