Here it is as clear as I could. It is someone that looks to be sitting with one arm around the front of them and the other resting on their head with their wrist facing their face.

That's interesting it was optical in such low light. It must have just been bright enough for the telephoto lens to work.
Apologies if you already knew this...but the reason stevejobs2.0 thought it might not be the telephoto lens, is that in low light conditions, the 7+ is not using the telephoto, even when you hit the "2x" button. Apple probably does this, due to the tele's aperture.

Looking back at that concert pic; it is easy to see it's not digital zoom, simply due to the crispness. It's a great pic.
It'd be cool if Apple had a tag at the top of the screen, indicating what lens is being used. Like a little "1.8" or "2.8" in corner
Cheers

Exactly. I haven't been able to "trick" the phone into using the optical 2x zoom in any indoor shots even with a ton of lights turned on.
Yeah, your not gonna trick the stock camera app to quickly, if ever at all. But you can always use a different camera app to allow for a manual use of the camera anytime you want.
Edit: words
Same with me. I haven't been able to activate the telephoto lens at all indoors...only outside.
I was thinking about this. Any third party app that lets you pick which lens is being used?
ProCam and ProCamera for sure. I own those two.
I noticed in the details on that concert pic...it said Instagram. Does that mean it was taken through the Instagram app? Does Instagram have its own camera interface/app?
Just curious if that's why it was optical instead of digital in that setting. Like you said...maybe a non stock camera app would allow it to use the telephoto lens in low light. Forgive me, I don't use Instagram...so I'm not sure if it uses the stock camera app or not
I just bought ProCamera. Gonna check it out later today. That's pretty cool you can switch between the two lenses in any conditions. Apple needs to implement this in the stock app.
Just picked up my Apple Watch series 2 and iPad Pro 9.7 256GB
Yes, ProCam 4 - Manual Camera + RAW by Samer Azzam
Also, if you want test beta for him you can reach out to him and let him know you have downloaded the app and would love to test beta for him. He is quick to respond.
ProCamera. Is by Cocologics
Pretty impressed with how well it handles this bottle on a desk. Look on the desk how nicely the blur is added in gradually.

So Hogg I looked into this. Instagram does indeed have its own camera app built into it but I do not think that this picture was taken via Instagram. First off it is not square. Secondly, Instagram does not store EXIF information in there app pictures. And lastly he said he took it from his camera roll. So I am thinking it is something with Exif and how they are reading these new pictures that are coming from the iPhones and are thinking it was Instagram and it was not.
Just wanted to add this could have been the stock app that took the picture. He was on the front row and all of those lights could have been good enough for the sensor to allow the telephoto lens to work.
Passed this old gas station yesterday. Lighting wasn't ideal but I couldn't resist. (Later noticed my car's reflection in the windows—boo!) Processed with DXO Optics Photos plug-in and cropped.
It was taken in the stock app, I must have picked the Instagram version of the photo when uploading. It was uploaded to Instagram unedited and not edited in Instagram as well if that helps.I noticed in the details on that concert pic...it said Instagram.

Taken in stock camera app, uploaded the Instagram version here which was also unedited. The concert lighting obviously helped a lot as well as my front row spot. But it was very easy to take this shot, just a few taps to set focus and exposure and it was done.

I didn't know that. Ok, makes sense now with all the questions. Learning more about this phone every day.That's interesting it was optical in such low light. It must have just been bright enough for the telephoto lens to work.

and if you're into video, there's FiLMiC Pro...
ProCam doesn't offer lens selection in video mode. also, it lacks a lot of video features...

I'm not seeing a difference. mostly had to do with animations and stuff within iMessage.

Just wanted to say thanks, for the heads-up on "ProCamera". It's a great app. Tons of features. Being able to manually switch between both lenses in any lighting condition is awesome. And all the settings are actually accessible in the app itself....what a concept
Cheers
This mode is super impressive. Especially considering that its software, low-light, and the subject is a similar color to the background. Just awesome.
