Anyone else feel like the base iPhone 15 camera is bad… how do I fix this

I’ve compared my iPhone 15 camera with my friends’ iPhone 14 Pro and 13, and mine seems way worse. Is it just me or does anyone else feel this way? Any tips or ideas on how to make the pictures better?

Maybe the way you’re taking pictures is affecting the results? Try adjusting the tone or exposure based on the lighting. Apple’s processing could also be why it looks different compared to other models.

I’ve tried changing things up, but the photos still don’t look right to me.

I used to think the same thing, but after some updates, the camera performance improved a lot. Maybe wait for a software update?

I’m not sure about that :man_shrugging:

That’s not your photo though.

Looks too good to be true, but nice shot.

Getting good photos often depends on finding the right light and setting up a good composition. The camera won’t do all the work for you.

I shared a photo in another comment thread about iPhone 15 camera settings. Maybe you could check it out and let me know what you think?

Sure, just share the link so I don’t have to dig around.

Maybe it’s more about your skills than the camera.

Alright, thanks for that.

The reviews say the camera is fine. If it’s really bad, you might want to check if there’s a hardware issue or get it repaired.

No one who complains about this seems to explain what’s wrong in detail.

For real, right?

What exactly about the iPhone 15 camera seems bad to you? Is it low light, colour, sharpness, or something else?

I thought mine was bad too, but then I realised the lens protector I put on was messing up the photos.
