iPhone 7 Plus Camera - Pictures are bad

Me too. Thinking an update will solved the issues but I was wrong. Can't stand it anymore.

Learn how to adjust??? The thing is that i want to show is that, before i just shoot and it be great pictures. And now its ****. As you said both pictures is maybe bad but you can see the persons on samsung..

I've had my 7 Plus for 3 weeks now. The photos are absolute garbage! The main reason I switched to iPhone from Android was for better photo quality, which I thought was a main selling point for iPhones. The last time I used an iPhone was years ago with the 4s. I swear that those photos from back then are way better than what I'm able to take with my 7 Plus.

I've tried every single option there is to make the photos better but nothing works. I'm shooting in ideal conditions with plenty of sun light.

I just looked up my delivery date. I have about 1 week left from having the phone for a month now. I'm going in to request a refund.

Update: Well that's just wonderful. After looking into the return policy I see it is only 14 days long, rather than a month. What a joke.

Great news people!

I'm taking mine back next week!

Not the same problem but okay...

That has nothing to do with the issues on this thread.... A dead camera front and/or back is a totally separate issue.

Yes, I apologize for my hastened reply, I must admit I stumbled upon an article snd I only hastily read through the lines.

I really wished it tru, a bit too much now I see.

DP Review agrees that the images aren't the best. There's a good selection of samples at the end of the review:

I read this and laughed... The limit of my iPhone is a photo in-doors of my daughters face...

Today was my third attempt to try and get this issue closer to a fix. Apparently some engineers "did not see anything wrong" with the samples I provided, so another case was opened and this time with instructions to view the sample images side-by-side at 100 % zoom (or actual size).

I have much faith in the support personnel and we even discussed how this [most probably] is a simple software issue. However my faith in Apple engineers is not so strong since I am aghast how they still cannot see the issue here.

Has anyone here gotten *any* information back on their support requests?

No responses back yet. It wouldn't surprise me if they ignore because no media is exploiting it.

I went to the Genius Bar at the apple reseller in Israel. He saw the problem but the two iPhone 7 plus they had in display also suffered the same issue. He had no advise for me other then full restore through iTunes, install as new phone and see if it works.

Has anyone tried it before I start this annoying process?

I had to factory reset, start as new from a previous issue (itunes backup related) and the issue still there.

Restting will make no difference as the problem lies in the way Apple is processing the image. There is way too much noise reduction, resulting in the loss of fine details. The problem is made worse by the high compression applied to photos

I have no doubt that if Apple tweaked their JPEG engine, the quality of images would be vastly improved.

Although it is not common, I've serviced iPhones with this issue, it could have different causes.

If you've already tried General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings and this did not resolve the issue, you should take it to your local Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.

After reproducing the issue with you, they will set up the device as new, ensure it has no outstanding updates, attempt to replace the camera module, and if all of that fails they will replace the device provided there is no accidental or physical damage.
