Selfies on iPhone 15 pro got bad

Iphone 15 pro max selfies are ruined, they are not nowhere near compared to the great selfies from iPhone 13 Pro Max. This for sure is something related to the post processing, pictures don’t look even close after taken compared to how they look on the screen before taking the pic. This issue must be fixed! This is terrible

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17

I have not contacted Apple yet, this certainly have to do with post processing. I tried the iPhone at the apple store and took some selfies to compare them, they all come out bad, this greyish, unflattering skin tone, as it accentuates fine lines. I even compared side by side both, 13 pro max and 15 pro max, it’s just dazzling how bad the iPhone 15 pro max selfies come out.

Hi, I'm experiencing the same as you. I saw some "solutions" on internet, like taking "burst photos" (just slide your finger to the left after pressing the shoot button) so this way it looks exactly as your screen was showing.

However, the quality is inferior.

Some use other tricks, like putting the flash on, and then in LIVE select ur favorite one...

Other solutions are: Using a 3rd party app, like insta, snapchat or some other cam apps. (sad...)

I, myself, am trying a new trick which I think gives better results: It leaves your photo in high resolution and the colours look alike to what they were on the screen: tap your finger on the screen so it appears a little sun (I think it's the exposure) move that sun a liiiittle above the default position. Then take the picture. After doing that, go and see how it went. At first it will look a little grey, but suddenly some nice lights appear.

I tried this at night on my living room. Have to try it with the sunlight yet.


Hope Apple solves this... we are going crazy trying to find a solution.

It's so simple: Just make the photos look like they look at the screen before taking them!

I love the quality of the cam, I just dont like the strange lights and the different tone of my skin after taking the photo.

No issues with mine so I’m not sure if it’s a issue that a lot of people are experiencing (maybe it is but I haven’t heard anyone I know personally say they are experiencing it). What have you done to troubleshoot the issue to rule out settings or anything being the problem? Have you contacted Apple?
