iPhone 8 Plus camera aspect ratio *****!

I would suggest taking a picture using the standard app then when you change it to the 16:9 you can see how much of the photo is being cropped. With cameras that have 16:9 built in all they are doing is cropping before you can see the original.

Have you tried other photo apps?

Have you tried rotating the phone?

The iPhone camera takes pictures in its native aspect ratio. That's full quality. If you want 16:9 you can crop the image by tapping Edit.

The Pixel XL is cropping it's photos, there's no such thing as a 16:9 lens, it's always cropped. Even cinema cameras.

Hip Hip Hooray NagB...well said & I couldn't agree more.!

We (the user/customer) should have the choice!!! Come on Apple, don't be so narrow minded.

I have been using 16:9 aspect with my Panasonic & Cannon Cameras for years.... in fact ever since flat screen TVs were introduced. I thought I could do away with cameras when I bought an iPhone 8.... but have been sadly mistaken. I am so disappointed.

I couldn't agree more.

With what?

We (the user/customer) should have the choice!!!

To suggest you don't have a choice when it come to camera apps on the iOS platform is absurd.

No camera phone has an image sensor built with a 16:9 ratio. None. It's the app that creates this ratio.

I think the aspect ratio is actually 3:2, which is the standard ratio used for printing photos, it's uncommon to print photos at 16:9.

You can make a request to Apple yourself:

Feedback - iPhone - Apple

You can download a 3rd party free camera app from App Store, looking for one that have 16:9 aspect ratio. There are hundreds.

And again, if you want to submit your comments/suggestions to Apple directly, please use this link:

- Why is Samsung Note or Google Pixel giving the option to take pictures in 16:9 and Apple iPhone Plus doesn't?

As explained before... no camera sensor is 16:9. The Pixel's native sensor ratio appears to be 4:3.

It's the app that crops to any ratio. If Apple's native camera app does not suit your needs, get any of the dozens of 3rd party apps that may.

You are moaning about the device when the device is not the issue.

It's the camera app.

- I want Apple to give a 16:9 option like every other flagship phones out there. Please don't limit what customers want to do and if you are coming from using other phones (in my case from Pixel) have a user experience which is more than other phones!

Than, as suggested, tell them. We are volunteers here who have zero influence over Apple's decisions and choices. You are not talking to Apple here.

I don't think most people like 4:3 aspect ratio pics. I can't imagine seeing 4:3 pics on a phone.

I sense most people who use Apple iPhones don't really know other device(s) capabilities.

I'd love a source for those insights, and no,

I was at few events

is not a source, that's an anecdote.

You are expressing your bias and are free to do so.

Photographing in the 2:3, 4:3 and 4:5 ratios is approaching 200 years old.

Camera phones in a decent 16:9 quality, just a few years. Maybe 5.

I'd say the majority are still visualizing photos in those ratios. Go to a frame store and check out the most common photo frame sizes.

4x6, 5x7, 8x10, 11x14, 16x20.

No 16:9.
