iPhone 6 poor picture quality

Thank you for taking the time to post the photos. I can see the difference, while I can still see some of the background issues, especially in the side by side photo.

I bought a used iPhone 5s and did some side by sides last night. I still think my 5s is doing a lot better than my 6s. Most of my photos that I take are of my kids, and it would be hard for me to go to an app where I have to manually set it to take good photos. In my eyes, the 6s should be a good point and shoot camera, and it is not. I can always bring my DLSR if I need manual adjustments. So in my case, the 6s goes back to Verizon today.

I just realized the phone camera on my iphone 6 is a POS after taking poor vacation pictures. Now I have had it for three months and telus (my carrier) will only let me return it for 30 days. If any of you reading this just bought your POS iphone 6 return it quick before you are stuck with it like the rest of us. I wish my superior iphone 5 still worked...

Is anyone doing a class action lawsuit on this yet? Surely all the hype about how "improved" the phone is can be proven to be fraudulent?

Also, how can all the "review" sites live with themselves for saying how great the camera is?

I am online with apple support chat person right now and have sent them a link to this and to some of the others out htere.

I will let you all know what the current word is from them.

I am sick of this watercolour monet camera!

I went through the same process with my apple tech. She exchanged a few emails with me, and she has already seen this forum. She was genuinely trying to help, but her last email to me was to send the phones for repair. That would mean that I would be out of my return period, and having seeing so many posts about this, I'd rather return my phones and use my 5s. I will see if I want to buy an 6s or a 7 once this is addressed.

Online chat said this is not right, and that they have extended the plus camera recall to the non plus regular iphone 6.

They are sending me to the "genius" bar for a pre-approved replacement

Does the recall include only iPhone 6 or does it include 6s also?

Are they replacing it under a recall, or is this just a simple "replace with another 6s that they have?"

Can you post an example photo that you took?

Thanks.

Hello.

I am not sure if I do remember it correctly, but havent someone here said that he was testin his iPhone 6 compared to iPhone 6 in the store and pictures were all Monet style?

Or did he just had "luck" to find the wrong ones there also?

I still think that its same on all iPhones.

Or maybe specific ones made after exact period maybe? Which one?

I bought mine iPhone 6 in october 2015.

Have a nice day.

My base model 6 is also from oct 2015 purchased in Canada.

I Will let you guys know if the replacement solves the problem

Sorry. But do you think if a photo of the same subject done with iPhone 4S (8Mpixel) weighs 2.4 Mb and a photo taken with the iPhone weighs 6S (12Mpixel) weighs 2.1 MB? What does this mean? Simple!! The compression algorithm creates an image of lower quality. I hoped it was just a software problem and solve with App 645 RAF TIF format, but as explained by an expert is a matter sensor hardware. Sorry for my English, but I think you understand all of my disappointment. Fortunately another story for video, where my iPhone 6S Plus behaves really well.

I am sure that i would do this before replacement.

I would go inside room where are no windows, but only with lightbulb.

Find the right spot and place the phone on timer to take picture.

Maybe I would arrange items and try from 0,5 metre and also from 2 and 5 metres.

Because I think distance might be the problem.

Then after replace I would take exact same images from exact spot I used to place iPhone before.

After comparsion I would definitely see if the issue was solved.

If you do like my idea, please share this test with us.

Thank you.

Iam really surprised about the return program for the " iPhone 6". Is it really true for the 6??

I only found the return program for the 6+ , Do you have a link for the 6 return program?

I don't bought it in the apple store, it was a gift from my mobile contract.( free iPhone, no simlock)

Even for german customers? can you send me an link?

Good bye to our two 6s's. Verizon charged us 2x$35 as restocking fee but that is better than getting stuck with two phones with these cameras. Plus we will pay $60/mo less since we went back to our 5s phones.

I have new 6S as well (before 4S) and made some photo comparison.

4 same photos (indoor, 11:00 am, winter, cloudy, skylights, cleaned lenses, apple camera app, no filters, no live photo, no postproduction - just renaming files) and crop of images for better comparison (one from 4S, second from 6S, PNG, no compression).

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/w3rqs9p4aw9tndg/AACHB48LJVeQcg2Tlvz1SHHca?dl=0

4S photos: 8 MP, 2.7 MB and 2.6 MB

6S photos: 12 MP, 2.6 MB and 2.7 MB

52% more pixels on 6S but same size! From crop you can see 4S made obviously better less-blurred photos. I'm really angry...

"More stunning detail in every single pixel." Where?
