The biggest issue for me is HDR for sure. Even the 12 pro from what i have seen suffers from similar issues.
Got a tip for us?

So service engineers will definitely be capable of doing same things with solid arguments.
I’ve found couple of cases, when autofocus almost 100% misses target. But need tests, will it be reproduced in other environment
But of course I’ll give it a try. May be this very phone is broken.
And for sure - always on HDR killing me.
For me on the Halide app - those shots are saved as RAW+JPEG. You can just work with the JPEG on the phone if you want. Just saying …
According to Apple and myself, yes it is. When ProRAW is used, your iPhone is now a mirrorless camera. ProRAW is awesome, open a photo in Lightroom edit it, creat multiple presets as you edit photos, done in 30”! Jpeg is for most people, ProRAW is for the pros or those who want more out of the iPhone & the photos they take. Editing a photo on the iPhone or iPad doesn’t take 5 minutes. Just remember, photography is an art, people love to get creative, just check out the iPhone 13 pro on Instagram. Sure there are snaps, but there are also some really great shots that iPhone photographers get when they take their time. If you are a random jpeg shooter who doesn’t mind blown highlights and average composition, cool! More power to you. I want more from my iPhone’s photos, like this edit done in Lightroom via one of my saved presets. Question: why do people buy a pro iPhone if photography is of no interest to you?

All of these are normal. How could expect same sharpness from edge to edge?
I want at least the same sharpness and overall quality of photos as my old XR do in good light conditions.
Am I asking too much?
Want to play with proRaw for yourself - up to you. Why not? But it has baked in post processing.
Raw - that’s what using photo professionals
Nothing is baked in!!! Use the Moment app from now on then in either jpeg or raw. It produces different results. Instead of complaining, try something different or go get another XR…
A few days ago I tried to cover LiDAR hole, Camera app can’t focus on anything even in good light condition, sometimes.
Maybe this is the cause of slightly out of focus pictures, which is why iPhone 13 don’t have this problem.
Over-sharpening is indeed software cause rather than hardware.

Exactly. LiDAR autofocus is bad in some specific cases, and they disabled or removed old, tested functionality.
Quick test: put 0,5 Cola or beer or whatever bottle on the table, leave some space behind, try to shoot from 1-1,5 meters, and from some distance it will start focusing on the background and not the bottle.
Post processing may be solved with one toggle, which is removed from iPhone 13pro.
Again, may be my phone is bad.

And what size is one? 25mb. Bad option for everyday photo, unfortunately.
Today I was shooting many videos.
And videos are amazing. Photos, shot right after the video in the same room are much worse.
Dark, unnatural colors, oversaturated.
Personally I have no problem with Proraw.
It’s good quality, editable, and I have auto upload to unlimited storage in Amazon photo, then I’m deleting photos from my phone.
I can’t store all my photos on the phone either way, and I don’t see the point in doing so.
It just depends on your style and level of photography. You can’t speak for everyone by saying it’s a bad option for photos. If it’s not a keeper, then delete it later. Keep your photos organized. There is a separate folder for raw in photos like there is a screen shot and panorama etc. I shoot raw exclusively because I want the best photo possible. I also have the 1TB iPhone, plenty of space. The videos, raw photos, and regular photos don’t take up as much space as you think. My 12 pro max is a 512mb and with all the photos and videos I’ve taken, I still have 390gb available. But if your not a specialized photographer then you really shouldn’t complain so much.. just saying. (funny how so many on this thread are complaining about the quality of the camera of the 13 pro yet unwilling to try other apps or ProRAW to improve their photos).. LOL.
For me I’m leaving the Apple app as is and the “go to” for snapshots. I’m even warming up to ProRaw now that I see you can crank back some processing afterward. So the Apple app stays stock without me messing with it. However for manual shots I use Halide. I like it because it’s simple and manual. With the loupe I can nail focus and be sure of it. Select lenses and no switching - etc. so all manual here. For post processing I selected Darkroom and deleted all the others. That is my workflow for still photos now.
But I purchased the iPhone 12 Pro Max for the video and I’m waiting on maybe 8K on the iPhone 14 with a 48mp sensor. So I may jump to that phone next fall - we shall see.
hello, i am about to resell my iphone 13.
Those who had the 12 pro were happy?

Same issue…
I’m really disappointed, 2 months later, no update from Apple
For example:
First picture: Screenshot from Apple Camera App
Second Picture: After processing in my photo library
Has anyone found a solution?

Well, most photographers pay thousands FOR THE OPTION to shoot raw and edit in Lightroom… me included.
