I’m considering moving from Android to iPhone, but I read a lot about iPhone images being over processed. What’s your opinion? Am I going to be disappointed in the camera?

I did find this thread where one user mentioned it may be the viewer on the iPhone, and that pictures look fine viewed on other devices.

I’m curious to hear opinions. How happy are you with your phone camera?

    My experience is it’s as bad as you fear it will be. I hate any photo with trees or greenery in it especially. The wide angle lens is far from amazing also. I’m actually thinking of buying a dedicated camera as well, because I’m no longer happy with my iPhone shots. I also have a Pixel for work. Overall better photos for sure.

      Well dang. That’s disappointing. I recently converted to Mac and wanted to take advantage of the integration. I take a ton of pictures though and don’t want a camera that’s sub par. My current is the s22 ultra, so ideally it would be similar quality.

      Thanks for your feedback. It gives me something to think about.

    The over-processing is mostly too much sharpening in my opinion. For example, my pets look like they have gelled hair on iPhone. On my Canon they look nice a soft and realistic.

    I don’t have another phone to compare with other than my older pictures taken of different iPhones. Some parts are better, like sharpness. Overall, I agree that the newer photos look over processed. I’ve been disappointed for a while now.

    In normal viewing they look fine, but if you’re a fan of zooming for detail you may be disappointed. I prefer the look of photos from my 10. I like a bit of grain more than artificially sharp.
