Someone should assemble a chain of iPhone camera review comparison images published over the years, 18 → 17, 17 → 16, 16 → 15 etc. showing how each year's new phone being so much better than the previous year's somehow becomes perceivably bad next to the next year's phone.
- Krasnol 8d agoCould you provide at least one review to support that claim?
- eviks 8d ago> someone should assemble
- classified 8d agoDid you miss your parent comment's sarcasm?
- Doohickey-d 8d agoYoutuber Marques Brownlee did this (as a short). It's actually not so noticeable, it's only once you get to the very oldest phones that it's visibly worse. the difference will be in things like low-light, telephoto lenses, video capability, HDR, and lots of other things that don't show up in most photos (including that one) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jru9Gsz3kJY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jru9Gsz3kJY
- rrr_oh_man 7d agoOnly iPhone 4 sticks out, 1 through 17 are all fine.
- josephg 7d agoIt'd be much better if this test was done in low light. The tiny sensors in iphones work fine when there's plenty of light around. The real test is how well they do when the you aren't sitting in the sun.
- OGWhales 7d agoIndeed, I found the oil-painting effect really rough on certain year iphones in low light/when using one of the zoom lenses.
- thewebguyd 7d agoI'd suspect the average person won't notice much difference (on the main lens) until about iPhone 11 or older, with still photos. Computational image processing does a TON of heavy lifting with these tiny sensors. With video OTOH, the improvements are much more noticeable. I also suspect that is why Apple focuses so much on video as its a harder problem to solve and so much easier to differentiate your hardware from competitors.
