Upgraded from 12 Pro to 14 Pro.

Honestly, I don’t see much difference in image details/sharpness. Neither in daylight or lowlight. I’d say I see more detail in my 12 Pro lowlight images.

In high contrast situations my 14 Pro overexposes highlights unless I adjust manually (12 Pro does better job automatically). Natural bokeh looks better because of much larger sensor size. And lowlight images do have a bit less noise.

14 Pro pushes ISO higher than 12 Pro in the same lowlight conditions (eg 1000 vs 640/800) with similar default settings, no filters.

In general, I’m not very impressed… I expected more improvement over 12 Pro (didn’t test video because I’m not using it much).
Could you post examples? I also would be upgrading from a 12 Pro and most of the comparisons around are between the 13 and 14.

Good people of internet. As someone who's looking into getting an iphone I'd like your comment/examples of pictures taken outside in bright daylight - landscape, skyline etc. I'm looking at YT reviews and there are quite a few bad pictures where sky is basically nonexistent/blown out. Is that a common thing, is it only wide lens issue and is there way to take pictures where that wouldn't happen (manually focus on sky etc.)? It seems pixel/samsung ultra etc. do take better pictures in that regard.
These screenshots are from various YT videos.

Thank you

Have a look through this thread, I myself have posted an outdoor pic with sky and clouds.

I’ve been testing my iPhone 14 Pro Max main camera lately to see how well the flare and ghosting has been controlled. Just visually looking at the optical camera. I noticed that the optics are a little bit differently shaped. I did a really good test and using the Halide app and controlling my exposure in JPEG mode, I took this photo after adjusting the exposure of these bright LED lights in the ceiling of this new store that’s being built. it really helped having the black walls to check the lens flare and ghosting, and it has been greatly minimized. hopefully this will help with our night mode, shots of cities and video with the sunlight and other bright lights. And of course, this lens flare that is visible on the black side of the wall can be removed in several editing apps, like Lightroom, or Retouch, that are designed to remove unwanted artifacts. so if you want the ability to shoot 48 megapixels without having to use pro raw, the hay light app allows for that now, shoot high resolution, JPEG files without ProRaw. That’s what I did with this image that I just posted, it is a JPEG from the Halide app. These bright LED lights usually wreak havoc on cell phone optics and putting multiple reflections everywhere but so far there’s only one visible reflection now instead of several, and it’s not very visible, which is nice. it is visible right above the letter. C in the three letters CSI.


This photograph was taken as a 48 megapixel JPEG from the Halide app.
