    iPhone 16 Pro Ultrawide video issues with iPhone 16 Pro - to be fixed in iOS?

    I plan to swap my iPhone 15 Pro for the 16 Pro, but I am concerned about the reports of video image quality with the 16 Pro that is worse than the 12mm ultrawide in the 15 Pro. Can Apple fix this with an iOS update? Reference:

    Smart HDR: Disable?

    I’ve come across several instances of people disabling Smart HDR in their stock iPhone Camera app due to oversharpening, artificial colors, and distorted skin tones. Has this feature improved in recent iOS upgrades? Do you have it enabled or disabled? What is recommended for photos that are...

    Very low quality playback on macOS (good on iOS)

    Hello. I recently got a pair of Airpods Pro as a gift and while I use different and better sounding equipment when I'm listening to music, they're very convenient to be used in other instances. The Airpods Pro work perfectly on iOS, but unfortunately they sound horrible when used on macOS...

    Updating to Cataline has ruined the built-in webcam quality

    An update to macOS Catalina has made the quality of the built-in webcam that awful that will feel guilty during zoom session, because other participants' eyes could bleed: overall quality 20x times worse than it was in Mavericks, but the main concern is a ghosting problem. When I close my eyes...

    iPhone 13 Iphone 13 Abysmal Video Quality?

    Hello, everyone I'm a very loyal Apple user, therefore there's no phone for me other than the iPhone, and I recently upgraded from an Iphone XR to a 13 and I love it. Everything about the phone is amazing, especially the screen (once again, coming from the very cheaply made XR). There's one...

    MacBook Air i3 2020 - Awful webcam!?

    Good day all, I purchased a refurbished '2020 Core i3 MacBook air Retina' a couple months back and I wanted to ask other owners about their webcam quality. Mine sucks, even in good light it looks like a grainy camera from 10+ years ago (And I'm really not exaggerating here) MY GF's 2013...

    MP 1,1-5,1 RX580 - bad video quality

    Hi, I´m using a 5.1 mid 2010. Exact configuration attached. I recently installed OC (using the easy hw-acceleration-package). Now I've remarked very strange behaviors as well in Mojave as in Catalina regarding videos (YouTube as well as desktop). They seem to be extremely "pixeled" in the...

    Hi, for little over 4 weeks I own a IPP 12.9 and SKF. Due lockdown, I‘ve only used the SKF in house. However, there is already serious wear on the keyboard. Do other also experience this? I expect to have a faulty SKF as I also experience frequent keyboard disconnects. Will see if this can...

    Very poor audio/speaker quality iMac 2019

    I have been using my new iMac 2019 for two days now and I noticed that the audio sounds very poor compared to my iMac 2012. I know you can't expect the best audio from an AIO desktop, but a downgrade in audio quality is unacceptable. Especially when you spend almost double the amount of money on...

    Photos App 'Set Desktop Picture' - degrades quality

    If I set a photo as a background image from the Photos App, the quality is degraded. For eg. a super high quality 5000x3000 13MB gradient image looks color banded when done in this way. But if it's set a background image from the file itself in Finder, it's perfect. What am I doing wrong here...
