15 Pro Max! Loving this camera so far!
Macro photography is my favorite. This also brings back memories of when I would save wheat pennies for a friend.I can't get over the macro—then again, I'm coming from an iPhone 12 Pro Max, so I've never taken cell-phone shots like this. And these are just regular snapshots, in low light, HEIC compression with Live Photo on.
Have they been this good before, on the iPhone 13 & 14?
Update: tried to post with camera metadata—how is that done?

It should… try again without touching the screen to force focus, the iPhone should focus to infinity. If you didn’t touch the screen & this is the result, then maybe try touch to focus… Was this handled or tripod?Not loving it, won’t focus on the stars like old phones. IPhone 15 pro max:

Very nice! I’m still waiting on my 15 pro max to arrive.
That’s normal with night mode and high ISO. My 14 PM does this. It’s due to lack of light and details are difficult to render. Deeper shadows on the right. If you put the iPhone on a tripod and let it expose for 30 seconds, it will probably look better.Night mode is wild. It was pitch black outside and it looks like this picture was taken during the day. Detail could be better though, it’s doing weird things with the ground especially on the right side.

I am quite familiar with the camera interface yes On my 14 pro max I am successful every time next to the iPhone 15Pmax.It should… try again without touching the screen to force focus, the iPhone should focus to infinity. If you didn’t touch the screen & this is the result, then maybe try touch to focus… Was this handled or tripod?
That has been my one issue here as well MR limits my photo sizes so seems they never look (over the years ) like they do originally not sure there is a feature to help with that or not here.It's a shame that almost every site either downsamples or makes you reduce the file size. It's hard to see the full resolution and quality of these shots.
Wow thanks that is a great article I have been popping in and playing and changing but this is organized and helps me understand things a bit more.Here's an excellent and concise guide for the 15PM's camera settings if anyone's interested:

Just a normal picture with no special settings. Pro Max 15. It was totally dark out. You can even see the ocean almost 2 miles away in that direction.
Inside with ok light the selfie camera is not great vs my 14pm. Maybe it is my phone but I do know the changed the sharpening methodology.Is anyone else finding the pictures much softer and less sharp compared to older models? Especially indoors. I feel like it’s much harder to get a less blurry photo than before. I definitely don’t remember my 14 pro having images as soft as my 15 pro is producing.
I know the software is doing less sharpening than before but in general, focus seems to be a bit of an issue.
