IPhone 5c

Hello, i would like to know if when taking a picture with a lower quality camera such as that of an iphone 5c and when viewed on a device with a much higher screen resolution such as an iphone 7 & its retina display...will the improved display change the quality of the picture? for example if the picture is blurry will viewing it on an iphone 7 phone 8 etc improve or make the imperfections of the picture more prominent? esp. if the photo was taken in low lighting or will the photo still keep its same quality across all devices regardless of screen resolution?


Also will the color profile of the picture change? ie. photo taken in low lighting on iphone 5c when viewed on iphone 7 etc looks worse since specs of newer phones are vastly better i.e retina display better screen resolution etc.


Thanks.

Hey, musicee!


No, the quality of the image will not be improved by viewing it on a better display. The quality of the image is all reliant on the quality of the camera that took the image. For example, watching HD content on a 4K TV does not make the content 4K.
