Q: iPhone 7 Plus Camera - Pictures are bad

I take the following picture with my new iPhone 7 Plus (only one example).

So as you can see, this is really crap.

 

What is the problem? Is it a Hardware of Software (10.0.2) issue?

 

The results of my old iPhone 6s Plus were better...

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 10.0.2

    Hi MrBojingels,

    Congratulations on the new iPhone 7! I understand that the image quality from the camera is not as good as you were expecting. With such a good camera, I know it's important to take beautiful pictures, so I'm happy to help.

    Despite the iPhone 7 having improved low-light capabilities, it's important to be sure that you have adequate lighting when taking a picture. In addition, make sure that you're focusing on your subject by tapping on it. This article has additional information for how to take beautiful photos with your iPhone:

    I have the same issues, en the solution don't help.

    When you zoom in on the photo, it's like looking at a painting.

    I'm so glad someone else is having the same issue. All I keep hearing is how great the new pine camera is, but are they being paid to say that as mine is dreadful on my 7 plus.

    I've taken photos in various lights and they're all really bad quality (not my photography). Like MrBojingels my iPhone 6 was a lot better quality. It's mildly ok taking a close up but anything a foot away or more is a mess, even worse if I zoom in it's like I've taken a soft focus 8bit picture.

    I've force close, hard reset, erased and restored with no effect hoping it was a software issue.

    Any help with this would be great.

    I think it is a great bug of iOS 10.

    If you take a 3rd Party App like ProCamera and watch the results of the original RAW-File, they look pretty.

    If you watch the jpg-File it looks like crap.

     

    So I think iOS10 make the picture bad with a bad algorithm or something else.

     

    I hope Apple will fix this very fast, in the actually Beta of 10.1 the bug already exists!
