Pictures are coming out darker after being taken with the front & back cameras. Compared with the iPhone 14 Pro & the iPhone 14's photo looks better. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing with their new iPhone 15s or knows the fix to this? This is frustrating since I need to take photos & videos for work.

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17
The only way I can get my image to look the same in the photos app and elsewhere is to Go to Settings -> Photos-> and toggle OFF View Full HDR. This shows the image as you can expect it to look outside of the photo app when exporting. You just lose all the lovely HDR brightness and contrast. Still very disappointing.
same thing is happening with my iphone 15 :(
submitting tickets or whatever it was
Bro this doesn’t do a dang thing. Delete your comment. Completely irrelevant
I’m hoping the more people that submit feedback, Apple will start listening to its customers. This camera ruined my Zion photos. They have a webform specific for feedback.
If none Apple camera apps come out well then it’s obviously a software issue. To have the big roll out and spend so much time on the amazing photography this phone offers borders on liability.
I’m finding when taking a selfie, the viewfinder image is brighter and more flattering than the photo taken. Previous iPhone 13 Pro Max took better selfies.
swipe left when you take the pic. it will save it without editing.
Rozs, Yes you can request that here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple
@pineapple, Unfortunately that does not fix it. There needs to be a software update from Apple to fix the issue.
You can report it here at this link. Hopefully if they get enough reports they’ll fix it. Feedback - iPhone - Apple
Hi cinsng,
Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. We'd recommend checking your settings as that may be a factor here. For example, check to see if this happens with HDR enabled or disabled. The following is from Adjust HDR camera settings on iPhone.
"Turn off automatic HDR
By default, iPhone automatically uses HDR when it’s most effective. On some iPhone models, you can manually control HDR instead.
On iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPhone 11 models, iPhone SE (2nd generation), and iPhone 12, go to Settings > Camera, then turn off Smart HDR. Then from the camera screen, tap HDR to turn it off or on."
If you are taking photos in low light situations, the following from Take great photos and videos.
"Shoot photos in low light
On supported models, Night mode automatically takes bright, detailed photos in low-light settings. When turns yellow, Night mode is on. Tap the Shutter button, then hold your iPhone still to capture the shot. To experiment with Night mode, tap, then move the slider below the frame to adjust the exposure time."
Take care.
I am facing the same issue! I was on the phone with Apple for an hour and they couldn’t figure it out. Also seemed to be clueless about the fact that there are so many who’ve upgraded to a 15 pro and are complaining about the same thing. Will Genius Bar help? Has anyone’s issue been resolved?
What’s the fix, @Apple ?!
Oh no🙁 So does everyone who has the 15 Pro have the same photo issues as us? It’s not just a software issue on a small portion of phones that could be fixed with a future update..? I’m so sad..!😭 why are so many people saying that the camera is amazing..?😕 Does the 14 Pro have the same problems..?
My wife has also expressed disappointment in the camera on her new iPhone 15 Pro Max. She reported that photos are coming out darker than they used to on her 12 Pro Max.
Something seems definitely wrong here. We need to put pressure on Apple to fix it.
iPhone 15 Pro Photos are Dark
