iPhone's noisereduction-gate continues...and nobody seems to notice it

Bad news to those who as myself were waiting for Apple to fix the noise reduction algorithm with the new iPhone 6s:

Take a look at her hair:

Now a normal phone with a normal noise reduction algorithm:

Galaxy 6 Edge

Full article with samples here: http://www.theverge.com/2015/9/25/9397055/best-smartphone-camera-test-iphone-6s- samsung-galaxy-lg

But the author must be as blind as Apple camera team if he says that there's no clear winner.

Time to switch to Android?...😢

I guess I'll wait for the iPhone 7...but I seriously doubt Apple ever fixes something they see as a "feature". 😠

iPhone 6s

If no one cares, appending -gate to it is particularly stupid. Watergate was a pivotal event in the history of the U.S. in the 20th century. I'm beginning to think all this people saying "this-gate" or "that-gate" don't have any idea what it was, why it was significant and why a problem with a feature on a phone that affects a small number of people is just not in the same category.

Just like no one remembers where "drink the kool-aid" comes from.

When you have an issue, it does not help to be irritated only. Millions have an iPhone without your issue.

Take it to Apple and have them look at it. You have warranty and paid for it (it was included in the price), why not use it.

Yeah, that's even worse, isn't it?

I think "chip-gate" was the straw that broke the camel's back.

It amazes me how moving to Android is always used as a threat here. 😁 Given Android Security Flaw I can't see how they are a perfect substitute. If I was going to move I'd move to Windows.

Maybe you should move to Android if you cannot deal with such a minute feature of iOS. Or here is an idea. Buy a decent camera if it is so work critical. Cameras. Remember them?

Lol, my issue? Didn't you notice the pictures come from an external reviewer?

Also I recommend you to take a look at this: iPhone 6 poor picture quality

It's not an isolated issue, is just most people don't notice it cause:

1.- They don't want to admit Apple can do something wrong

2.- They won't notice the difference between a picture taken with a DSLR and a 40 bucks phone

Apple's tech service can't do anything, cause it's not a software/hardware failer.

It's not a threat. All that I and all the people who cares about this issue (is not an issolated problem, every iPhone 6/6S has it) is what we had in our previous iPhones, a decent camera.

I can't believe my iPhone 4 takes so much better pictures in comparision.

I bought a 64 gb model just with the intention of using it as my main camera (since I really loved the iPhone 4 camera quality)...and found that the noise reduction algorithm ruins every photo I take.

I wouldn't need a "real" camera, if Apple made his job properly.

Sell your iPhone and buy one that suits your needs instead of whinging to us. We are just other users and so much inferior to you and your trained eye for photographic excellence. I'll stay with calling people on my phone and taking important pics with a DSLR.

So maybe whinge about it to Apple

That thread is a hoot! The differences I see are much more related to the quality of the photographer than the camera.

Wow.."Edited by host"...

Apple deleted the part about the noise reduction algorithm in which I explained why the image quality is so bad in post iPhone 5 mobiles....

I love my iPhone, I love MacOS X and I truly believe iPhone are the best cellular you can get, but that doesn't mean I must blindly believe they are perfect in every sense.

As for some of the replies...There are none so blind as those who will not see.
