iPhone 13 Pro Disgusting Photos

n response to Cmarina7 and Dogcow: "I don't like how many of the pictures I take a look at".

When I bought my iPhone13 max pro, I did not envision being disappointed by an Apple camera. I used an Apple phone for many years, and I did not try my camera extensively until Christmas. I could believe what some pictures looked like. I was so shocked and disappointed. First, I thought something was wrong with my camera or did not properly know how to use it. I wrote to Apple, talked to them, and obtained disappointed unprofessional responses. I made a digital photo album, and so many pictures look fake! I don't take pictures to post on social media. Many pictures are posted on social media use a filter to look more "beautiful/fake."

And for the "Tens of millions of users around the world are not only happy with their iPhone 13 photos, but they also love what the camera system does", I will answer: tens of millions of people in the world drink fake Champagne and are happy with it. They eat pasteurized cheese, and they love it. They eat sushi with mayonnaise and fake crab, and it's the best thing on earth. They choose to listen to fake news because it gives them reassurance, etc. I hope you get my point.

So Apple, please: for millions of users who don't like the fake look of the iPhone 13 Max pro pictures, give your next phone several options: one would allow us to keep our pictures natural, and another could be to modify the pictures automatically. For the millions of us who are disappointed and have taken the time to contact you, offer the possibility of exchanging the max pro 13 when the new phone comes out.

Hello ~ Apple does not participate here in this forum as you may think. This is a forum of users just like yourself. Apple does not ask us for our opinion just as they don’t ask you yours. Your feedback will be better heard here:

That's not going to happen.

You had 14 days after purchase to try your new phone out and decide you just couldn't live with the way the Camera app worked and that none of the third-party camera apps available were acceptable to you.

I assume you know that those "beautiful/fake" pictures you see posted online are what most customers want or there wouldn't be so many of them online.

The food products you describe are the most commercially successful, and it makes sense that companies would target those customers. If you want something else, you can find it, but it's extra work and possibly extra expense.

The same is true of taking completely unprocessed photos with the iPhone 13; you either have to use ProRAW or a third-party app and process the photos to your liking (or not) offline.

You keep attacking me yet refuse to acknowledge even trying the solutions I’ve listed (use ProRAW or a third-party app to provide the flexibility you require.)

I’d also be curious about why if high quality is so important why you wouldn’t be using a RED KOMODO or similar for video in the first place.

All images you work with will have to be processed through Lightroom or similar anyway (or for video color corrected to a custom LUT) so third party post-processing tools are already a huge part of your workflow.

You don’t buy a Nikon D850 or Canon EOS R3 and complain they are useless garbage because you don’t like the JPG photos they generate in their most automated modes; you shoot in large RAW format in full manual mode.

Same happened to me. I gave back the phone. My X takes better pictures.

Same! I upgraded to this phone with hopes of taking amazing photos at a concert I went to and all the photos absolutely suck! Super blurry, oversharpened, i’m genuinely ****** off

If you don't like the processing, I would definitely recommend you do just that.

Did you find a solution to this? I can’t stand the sharpness of the photos..

Same here. It looks fine before taking the selfie, then it does it's own thing after I take the photo, and turn it into an over-sharpened mess. Makes you look zombie like really.

So what are we supposed to do? Send the phone back and wait for the next iPhone or hope for an update but the problem is that Apple is in denial

Plus each lens has a different color temperature. if you focus on a spot on a very neutral plain color and zoom in or out, each lens change gives a slightly different hue.

Yeah. I find the pictures over processed and over sharpened. As far as I’m concerned this isn’t a hardware flaw, it’s algorithm choices made by Apple. They look like (old) Galaxy S photos.

Use a third party app. That is what my daughter does.

If you're that unhappy with the 13 Pro Max, that's what you should do.

I just returned iPhone 13 pro max after one day of using it because of the same issues with photo quality. Spent half of the day at the apple store where I was treated like some stupid person. I am back to my iPhone 11 Pro Max who takes way better naturally looking photos
