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...

I sometimes look at past photos taken with iphone 4S, 5S and 6S. Those pictures look nice, good color reproduction, good details. Why do you think Apple sid not show any landscape and colorfull photos in their iphone 7 keynote, like they used to with older models?? They knew that color reproduction is horrible, oil painted and details are crap.

I do not expect a perfect phone, but seriously, I do expect a decent camera!

I wrote about that above + one other user thinks that he might have done the same with the same results. I am not sure if this is what I did that helped but (whatever happened) that was the only action I did and photos were better since then. Not perfect but for sure better than the paitings (anti-photos) I was taking with the camera....


No one tested that and noone reported anything so I am not sure if that is any kind of temporary fix...

I reset, and it seemed to have done something, but not too sure -- I'm a bit out of focus on the /after.

Someone above mentioned that close-ups are not as affected; this seems to be the case w/ me as well.

Still not impressed compared to the 4s. I was expecting the flagship phone 3 generations later would be significantly (at least noticeably) better.

@wc2h .... No it was just the basic all settings reset what kind of fixed it. Before that I did full restore because of other reasons and photos were with watercolor effect every time. I think also that the settings might be stored in icloud and they are always restored with restore that is why the consultant asked me to reset them to do the diagnostics on my phone...
