iPhone 15 Pro Max Camera Has Wrong Colors (AI?)
iPhone camera has too much AI - the hardware is great but the colors are always off, by a lot!
- Pink sunsets look completely orange
- Orange/red coals on a campfire look pink
- Pics taken in Bali (where I live) look bland and washed out, always have to use Auto/vivid to make it look as it looks in reality. I get a Detroit version of Bali. It's so weird!
- Faces and people are washed out - not everyone's living in grey town!
Sunsets have been a massive problem for years, but this one is the worst performance by far.
I will buy another phone if they can't fix this. I have to literally edit every single photo to make it look like the scene *actually* looked like. Whatever happend to realism?
I think it's a problem with the AI software being too aggressive, and making everything like it thinks it should look, with a heavy bias towards grey cities and bland colors like in middle Europe. This iPhone was purchased in Hong Kong it is a chinese model - not sure that would influence it.
Providing a sample of the completely pink hot coals - these were orange-red in real life. Nowhere near this color.
