That doesn’t sound normal. Updates don’t affect camera quality. Have apple check it out.

They do. A lot of things with camera can change with software. Most of the phones rely on post processing the photos.

I have an iPhone 11 on hand in addition to other iPhones. Not seeing any changes. Something’s up with the hardware.

They affect the way pictures are displayed in the Photos app for pictures that have already been taken and they affect the processing that is automatically applied to new pictures.

Nothing changes. If that were the case I’d be seeing that on the myriad of devices I own and test. We’d also be seeing numerous complaints online.

You must not come here often. There are hundreds of complaints. As you can see from my screenshot, there used to be a toggle to turn off this very real behavior that still exists today.

Oh I’m here very often. I’m an ex iPhone repairman what you describe doesn’t happen. Most people don’t see any changes in cameras even with years of updates and if they do it’s an issue with the sensor or environmental factors at play.

Then your phone and whoever else may be complaining has an issue. I’ve taken thousands upon thousands of different photos between well over a dozen iPhones over the years and various updates.

It’s the software that has an issue. What you have personally experienced or failed to notice means nothing.

If your referring to HDR in the photos app and how it makes photos appear it’s essentially the iPhone guessing based on the data it has and it’s not always perfect. The toggle is still there if you don’t like how the HDR turns out.

That’s the problem. That’s OP’s complaint.

I don’t want it to guess. I want it to show me the picture exactly as I took it and not change it. I will edit it myself if I want it to look different.

> The toggle is still there if you don’t like how the HDR turns out.

Unfortunately it is not. The entry shows up for it in search as I posted in my screenshot in another comment, but the actual toggle is no longer there on my phone or iPad. It is still there on my MacBook and I keep it turned off.

TWYFAN97 t1_j25ek6g wrote

The toggle is literally still there go to Settings>Photos>View Full HDR and toggle off. You can also tweak the photographic styles settings if you have an iPhone 13 or later which can have a drastic impact on how photos turn out and process HDR and colors.

No, it isn't.

I’m looking at it as we speak lol. On multiple phones too. Maybe your thinking of something else. Also this only applies to phones with OLED displays that are capable of showing full HDR. So iPhone X,XS, 11 Pro, 12, 13 and 14 series etc. LCD iPhones are incapable of showing HDR.

You're looking at your phone, right? Not my phone. Not OP's phone? Not the 100 million other user's phones? What makes you think that you are representative of all Apple users and nothing exists if you haven't personally experienced it? Do you feel this way about every issue everyone ever posts about? If it didn't affect you then it didn't really happen.

Apple doesn’t go around arbitrarily removing a feature from random phones it doesn’t work like that. ALL OLED iPhones have the option to turn of view full HDR it’s a feature of the freakin display. If you have an LCD iPhone like the 11 or any other LCD iPhone the feature will not be present.

You seem very confused dude. The guys clearly explaining OLED iPhones have the feature while LCD equipped phones do not. What reason would apple randomly remove the feature from certain phones. Makes no sense.

I was looking through some pictures from my last vacation the other day and every single picture taken after dark while walking the city changed after about 2 seconds. It’s horrible and completely kills the mood of the picture.

There used to be a setting for Photos > View Full HDR that you could toggle off. It still shows up in search when you search for HDR, but the actual setting is not there.

I have an iPhone 11 too. I still get the warm tones when using the camera. It's probably ios 16. I recommend backing up and restoring using iTunes.

Is there a chance you accidentally changed some settings? E.g. enabled some filter in the camera app or enabled different lighting in portrait mode?
