iPhone 6 poor picture quality

There were no filters on.

Yea, this is so true - thought I was going crazy but this iPhone 6+ has worse and pixelated photo resolution as compared to the iPhone 5S. I'll probably take it back if the software update to 8.1.1 doesn't fix

was getting the run around from the techs 8.1.1 will not fix it. after sending in amigos of the iPhone 4s with its better pics and the new pics on 6 ( unusable when zoomed at all and horrible just on their own) I was told that that is how the new phone is supposed to function and there is nothing wrong with my unit or software. they also told me that its not an issue as they have been getting no complaints about it. i showed them threads and reviews but they said unless apple is contacted directly they will not even consider making changes. I have to say this has been THE worst apple purchase ever. such a downgrade. If anyone here with the same issue could please call apple or fill out the form in the link below so this actually makes in on their radar please do. At this point looking at getting a nokia lumia instead.

Well, you complained and I just complained so there are two more than NONE for sure. If anyone calls now and they still say none this is the proof that they are failing to actually organize, document, tally and run complaints to the appropriate place.

I just complained also.

As I said previously, pictures in burst mode shows a lighter noise reduction filter:

As you can see, in burst mode the image is much more detailed, but still not as detailed as in mi old iPhone 4.

Also, just to give you an idea on how huge is the detail loss in photos taken with an iPhone 6. This image compressed in a lossless format as PNG takes 0.7mb, but in RAW BMP format is 1.4 bmp. When the lossless PNG algorithm is able to get such high compression with an image, is a clear signal that the original image has hugh areas with 0 variation, and with very low detail.

This is happening to me too and it's really frustrating since the camera was touted so highly. See photo below. I did zoom in a bit.

Update 11/20/14: I filed a complaint on the link given on page 3 of this feed. I also plan to call and express my dissatsifaction.

Issue is pronounced outstanding any burst mode usage. Burst mode is a tangent.

I am having the same problem. Whenever I zoom by "pinching out," the image looks like I applied a watercolor effect in Photoshop. These aren't just blurred edges. Check out the olive trees in the background.

Call apple and fill out a feed back form. I was told that "this is exactly

how the camera is meant to function" and that unless people complained there would

be no changes. I felt like they were accusing me

of being to picky :/. But when you images are somdrastically

downgraded after spending $500 I think we all have the right to be picky.

Just saw pics my friends took on a 5s they just upgraded from ios7 to the 8.1.1 and are now having the same issues with image degradation. So this is 100% Software related. I can look on Facebook now and can tell which images are bing shot on iPhones because they are so bad. :/ way to drop the ball.

except it’s not related to my software on my 5S...

Chris- can you post 2 pics for me? One taken without zoom and one with on camera zoom that's zoomed in all the way. I am curious because EVERY phone I have seen now has had poor image quality.

The iPhone 5S does NOT have an optical zoom so zooming when taking a photo does the same as blowing up a jpg in a graphics program (because it is blowing up a jpg).

Get info on the photos and you will see the file size differences (from zoom to non-zoom).

They are both the same # of pixels but because the way jpg compresses the files (tossing out duplicate bits) and the zoomed photo has pixels that are doubled )or whatever size).

Take a regular photo and take a zoomed photo of same shot.

Now crop the regular photo so it shows the same as the zoom shot.

Resize the photo to same size as the zoomed shot and will look similar.

This makes me want my iPhone 5 back smh, the pictures on this phone 6 looks horrible.
