iPhone 13 pro lens flare

iPhone 13 pro max now have wide (.5 ) Used this last night shooting straight and from the side of lights made to a 2022. Minimized lens flare and it was good enough.

Every camera has lens flare. New iPhones have he worst lens flare.

Yes it is a big problem, and yes, you can learn some techniques to mitigate the issue, however,

Apple for sure has the resources to resolve it or at least, minimize it significantly.

Did you keep those two phones? If you did they are worth millions of dollars on the open market as they are the only two that can bend known laws of physics. Scientists should be flocking to your door.

I’m simply saying that issue never occurred on any video I’d taken on them. Now I get the 13 and it’s the first thing you see on the very first video I took. There was/is some difference….and on the 13 it looks like a laser pointer!

Not what you’d expect on a $1400.00 plus phone…

Except on the iPhone X and the 11 as I stated. I took all sorts of video on my 11 Pro Max. If there were artifacts I never once noticed them... i've had dozens and dozens of Apple products and I've never seen anything like I'm seeing now... i've had 3 iPad Pro 12.9's with cellular. And I have the latest model as well. No artifacts like that... no lens flare. so you can keep saying it all you'd like but it's not what I'm seeing on my end.

Hello ~ I would also give 50 points for that post…actually it is priceless. Whether it is my Canon EOS R5 or my old Nikonos gear you are always going to have issues in photography…always. No matter how good the camera is or how good the photographer may be. Actually for what it is I am delighted with the quality and ease of use from my iPhone 12 mini. Some of my very best candid shots have been taken on it.

I did not post any photographs... nor videos. I simply explained that they had appeared on the videos that I had taken with my brand spanking new phone. I've never contacted Apple with an issue previously or had any gripe with anything I had purchased..

and I posted the link to the video which explained how common this was since the iPhone 12 apparently kicked it off. oh issue was made worse by Apple support acting as if they've never heard of the problem.. when even according to you it's common.

If a I can find a spot on a lung x-ray that is missed by experts, Shirley in this advanced space age phone here the iPhone 13 Pro Max with its trillion operations per second and it's 16 core AI chip couldn't be trained to do that?

can't be done is different than has not been done yet. I since it's so pronounced on the iPhone 13 and never came up in any of my other devices to the point of having a concern or even noticing, seems like it's time to start working on that... take a half 1 trillion off something else and throw it on the lens flare issue!

Hello lobsterghost1 ~ You certainly made my day …I definitely tag along with many of you and have a lot to learn. You and many others are great teachers but often go unappreciated so just know that you are. Have a good one.

And your compact camera and DSLR, have true night mode photography, like iPhone does?

My Nikon DSLR does not do night mode photography like iPhone does. To take good night time photos on my DSLR, I have to put it on a tripod.

Exactly! I never had them on earlier phones either, personally, And it looks like some examples were pulled up, it wasn’t a common occurrence as some here are insisting. That’s why when it happened so badly on the new phone, I didn’t even recognize or know it WAS a lens flare. I thought it was an manufactured defect. It’s a new issue for me and totally alien to what I’ve experienced in the past. It’s so bad on the 13 as to be ridiculous!

No my DSLR does not have nightmode like my iphone. But dont see what that has to do with this, the lense flares are not related to nightmode :)

Some are saying it's a little better on the 13 pro / max but havent got to test it myself. Im gonna wait and see next year with the 14, I think I will upgrade then.

I’m keeping the phone. As mentioned, it’s a disclosure issue and I can’t imagine and discussion forum that wouldn’t be talking about the surprise when all the UFO’s start popping up. As many millions of these models fly out, so will some complaints…

You're absolutely correct in that people are going to complain. Most of the complainers however are clueless about photography and more often than not post poorly composed photos as proof of defect. Though I am not in any way accusing you of either crime.
