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

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!

Photos look like watercolour paintings. No detail sharpness and a lot of blotchiness.


When you look at a picture on something reasonable like a monitor or TV they look awful.

Okay now honestly there are pages of this thread where people have posted a variety of examples, a few have posted detailed accounts and threads to other camera app developers who have given their opinion.


Are you having issues? If so put them here and complain to Apple. If not then why ask all the questions and not read here and look at the effort people have put in collating it?

Yes largely, however if using RAW you can apply different noise reduction in Lightroom.


I have noticed better quality JPG compression using Camera+

They had the decency to email me to tell me it was removed :-) ... well it was an automated email.


"We removed your post "

iPhone 7 Plus Camera - Pictures are bad" because it contained a poll or a petition."


My post contained neither a poll nor a petition. I had reiterated the responses Apple gave me to a previous poster, and expressed hope for a fix timeline before I ask for a refund. I mentioned emailing certain tech media outlets if these solutions failed. Then the post was deleted by Apple.
