iPhone 15 front camera issues

Whenever I open the camera, the quality looks fine, but after capturing the picture, it turns out terrible. The picture has a grainy and noisy appearance even in good lighting. When I compare the iPhone 12's front camera with the iPhone 15, the better quality comes from the iPhone 12. I don't know what it is, but it seems like Apple may have compromised the front camera quality this time.

I completely agree. When I’m taking a photo, it looks great looking at it from my camera. But the minute I look at it the photo it’s blurry, greyed out, and just looking washed out.

I thought it was a camera setting I messed up or something and went looking for answers on the web and unfortunately came across this thread. It’s so terrible that apple would do this.

For the love of god, address this issue and release a software update that fixes this!


I’m a designer and being in the creative industry i could notice the grainy, oversharpened bad photo quality immediately. Why the supposed top tier phone in the market takes horrendous selfie pictures? You’re doing your loyal customers dirty and your reputation will not be the same after this.

Try taking the photos in RAW format, and also, deactivate in configuration of Photos app: View Full HDR.

That solves it a little.

Also, you can try: activating prioritize faster shooting; and activating volume up for burst photos. Then take ur photos by holding the volume up. They will look 90% like u were seeing on the screen, but they will loose a bit of quality.

Also, you can try, taking them without RAW (default format), but before taking them you put exposure up to 0,7. (and have view Full HDR deactivated in configuration of Photos app).


However, these are temporary solutions, Apple should fix this ASAP
