I notice my skin is too bright or too dark as well as the background and the color of my skin changes. NONE of my pictures look the same as they do when I snap the picture and look at all my pictures in the photos app. I'm coming from the 11 Pro Max and my 13 Pro max every time I take a selfie i notice the difference in what is shown on the phone screen as to what it looks like when I switch to the photos app. This is an example of how it ruins faces in the photos with a cartoony effect:Įdit: all of the photos attached here taken from the main “wide” camera (I am not sure if this is because of this feature or the camera is just not as good!) first photo from XS MAX 2nd photo from 13 Pro Max This was such a disappointment and I wonder how no one notices it and every single reviewer praises the cameras as “best iPhone cameras ever” as they clearly lose in a competition with my 3 year old XS.Īlso, this is resulting in the photos losing a lot of details in the photos see the examples below, you can see how the XS has much crisper details when taking photos of my watch. If not I’ll 100% go back to my XS as it takes photos way better. I’ll wait and see if they fix this/add an option to disable as I have a couple of months to return.

I absolutely can’t stand the cartoony effect it does to my photos, and how it ruins a lot of details, faces look like they come straight out of a Picasso painting. The post processing (SMART HDR) on the cameras is making it unusable for me personally. I created an account here just to write this post.
