    iPhone 17 Pro Max I see something on the iPhone 17 Pro Max lens and I don't know what it is.

    Hello, I've been looking at the lenses of my iPhone 17 Pro Max and noticed something strange. On one of the lenses, you can see a shiny, slightly curved line, as if it's inside the glass. The odd thing is that it's not always visible, only when the light hits it from certain angles. The glass...

    iPhone 17 Pro Max Nobody talking about the 7MP selfie photos of the iPhone 17s?

    Playing around with the new selfie camera, I have noticed that if you take photos with the normal view, not the wide angle one, the selfie camera shots 7MP photos which are obviously worse then even a lot older iPhones and nobody seems to complain about this thing, I often feel that the full...

    iPhone 17 Pro Max Red lens flare blur?

    Has anyone else noticed a red blur in the middle of their photos on the new iPhones? I’m using an iPhone 17 Pro Max. I can only see it when I’m taking photos of clothes to sell. The 2nd photo is edited to show it more. The first photo is the original. And it’s only really visible when taking...

    iPhone 17 Pro What's 'Pro-fusion camera system'

    Hi On the 'compare specs' page, comparing my current 15 pro and the 17 pro, I'm not clear what the difference is. What is a 'fusion' camera system. Does this mean the camera takes data from all three lenses at once or something. The marketing would suggest that there are additional advantages...

    iPhone Air My Thoughts on the iPhone Air as a Long-time Pro-model User + Video Editor.

    I've been a Pro-model iPhone user since the iPhone 11 Pro Max, plus their predecessors - the iPhone X and Xs. Even before that, I've been using my iPhone as my primary video camera. As the iPhone camera gets better, I tend not to use a separate camcorder. The 17 Pro and Pro Max are Pro as...

Im talking about the first scene, at Tim Cook's speech when he is standing right at the front door of Apple Headquarters in Cupertino. The camera should be visible in the glass reflections of the entrance... but no, nothing...

    iPhone 15/Plus Night mode: Adobe Indigo VS Apple Camera

    I just wanted to share some comparisons between the adobe app Project Indigo and the iOS native camera. using a MagSafe tripod to keep it steady so both apps could use the longest exposure time. I was the most surprised with the pic that shows the yellow cart, both on autofocus. I tried to tap...

    Other Are there any main camera changes in 17 Pro compared to 16/15/14 Pros?

    Is it really just the telephoto and front camera they changed? Not even lens changes? Really lazy if so. Seems like same sensor since the quad-pixel size (2.44µm) hasn’t changed. From their tech specs page: 14 Pro: 48MP Main: 24 mm, ƒ/1.78 aperture, second-generation sensor-shift optical image...

    Perplexed by potential camera lens over correction

    Hi all, I've bought a new mug for my wintery hot chocolates, and went to send a quick snap to a friend who loves mugs, but there's a quirk; the mug I have has a much wider base than top meaning it has angled sides, but the iPhone 16 Pro Max camera makes the sides straight up and down. Image...

    Other Predict the biggest letdown for iPhone 17 Air. Camera or battery life?

    Personally it’s the camera, because nowadays, you can charge your phone at a lot of places. However, the single camera is going to be a deal breaker for me, no telephoto means bad zoom, 4/5 pictures I take are zoomed. Otherwise, I love the thinner device and lighter form factor. What about you?

    Other iPhone 17 Pro / Pro Max / Air rumoured designs and LiDAR & Flash issues

    Hi all, Thought I'd ask here as I often come across some seemingly knowledgeable posters. With the recent leaks for the 17 line's migration of the flash and LiDAR scanners, I have frequently seen people mention that this design would be unlikely because it would cause parallax issues with...

    Recommendations for an OSX-friendly NVR?

    I've had an Amcrest NVR (i.e., it uses cameras wired to a dedicated DVR for both power and connectivity) for some years. I prefer having local recording over cloud based. Problem is, Amcrest hasn't updated their viewing software in >4 years, and even what they have is just a beta, and they have...

    iPad mini iPad mini camera equivalents

    Hi there, With regard to the new iPad mini, does anyone know what the equivalent front and rear cameras are from other devices? I ask because I know that the new MacBook Pros received new 12MP FaceTime sensors, but these are actually improved over the Studio Display 12MP camera - so it’s not...

    iPhone 14 Pro Max 14 pro max spots on camera sensor (2nd repair). How come?

    Hi photographers, My iPhone 14 Pro Max is two years old now. The 3x lens shows 4 spots, see pics. The same thing happened when the unit was one year old. Both times Apple fixed it by replacing the entire camera module, free of charge. That is nice, but if it happens twice it can happen again...

    I have to reboot my new iPhone 16 pro every new day I want to use the camera. I press on the camera button. It shows me when I’m taking a picture of it and goes blank. Is anyone else experiencing anything similar?

    iPhone 16 Pro Max Issues with ProRAW 48 and stock camera app

    When I got the 15 Pro Max last year I posted a thread about the inferior quality of ProRAW 48 using the stock app comparing to 14 Pro Max from 2022. At that time I was convinced that it was a bug that Apple would solve quickly. They didn't. I was hoping for 16 Pro Max to perform better in this...

    iPhone 16 Pro Max won't stop switching cameras in macro mode - even after restore

    Hey folks, I've been using the phone for the last few days and it's been fine. Today I opened the camera app and I was going to do some macro shots and it started constantly switching between the macro cameras and freezing for a few seconds during the transition (I don't know if that normal or...
