Camera phones aren't about taking "great" photos, they are about capturing the moment. When your phone makes even that difficult there is a problem.
Poor little no-talent whiner. boo-hoo-hoo.

Just get off of Verizon. Problem solved.

One of my favorite directors; though not one of my favorite films by him. (but it's 'good') "Mystery Train" still my favorite.
More megahurtz and SD cards.
That, and 2003-thickness phones in 2017.

Just because you have a Nikon, doesn't mean you shoot like Steve McCurry, or just because you have a Leica, you aren't as good as Henri Cartier-Bresson.
Yes, blame the camera... and the photos in the ad? All fake!

I agree, if Samsung doesn't make a ceramic glass Galaxy, they are doomed, the S7 is completely different from the S6!
It's the slick advertising campaign. Apple's camera's are in line with the rest of the top lineup of smartphone cameras. Nothing special, But nothing bad.
The top few camera's these days are all being rated within a few negligible percentage points of each other. It's like arguing over which student is stupid, the 98% or the 97.5% grades.
which means a lot of the "amazing-ness" in Apple's marketing is due to marketing and not any actual technical supremacy.
Don't know where on the page you downloaded them from, but I only get 1142x1522 for the umbrella city lights shot
Update: I see, you downloaded the "album", not sure why they're higher resolution, the max resolution for a 12MP sensor is 4288x2848, so not sure why, maybe a photographer can explain

There is an over 65 page thread of frustrated iPhone 7 /7 plus users on the apple communities site that proves how very poor the photoquality is on the iPhone 7 / 7 plus when using the apple camera app. The photos look like oil paintings and skin tones are smeary. Shame on apple and their blind engineers. Here's the link. https://discussions.apple.com/message/31331500?start=0&tstart=0
Apples marketing is full of lies and BS.
Since Tim Cook is at the wheel, Apples focus Has shifted from making the best products to breaking sales records and fooling people into buying their buggy and unfinished products.

It's actually just 42, but I do have to agree sometimes with these statements
99% of the time I can get a nice photo, but I took this one 3 weeks ago that looked like an oil painting, maybe the lightning wasn't as good as I thought it was, however it turned out awful, was pretty embarrassed to share it
At the bottom of the page there is a link... here it goes anyways http://images.apple.com/newsroom/images/product/iphone/standard/one-night-iphone.zip
Infantile ? The Tim hate is so strong on this forum these days....which makes sense as he is the only real apple emplyee...
[doublepost=1485816010][/doublepost]Infantile is the wrong word. I should have said "buggy"
You're going to have to explain how anything is proven. No such thing. And cameras have a look, so it's going to be fairly subjective too.
Was there enough light, was the subject moving, were you moving, did it have time to set up focus (which can be hard to do in low light). Got a Canon G7X and its pretty easy to take a bad picture in auto mode if any one of those things occur and that thing has a hell of a better sensor than any smartphone. Of course, what I consider low light with those cameras is much darker.
Low light pictures with smartphones best taken with tripod with manual settins, hands of steel when you have time to set up the shot, or prop up against something to lock down movement.
If the subject is moving then it becomes quite hard, then you'd better go in manual mode, bump ISO, shorten exposure time, don't shoot too wide open (so depth of field isn't too small making focus harder), follow the subject with a steady hand, introduce more light if you can without changing the shot too much especially on the thing you want most to be in focus (if its a controlled setting like a shoot it is possible).
