ARKit Apps Look Bad on iPhone X?

[EatinPonies]

Photos taken with the front camera and both rear lenses look amazing, but when I pull up any ARKit enabled app, the view through the camera looks really bad... Blurry, low-res; nowhere near the quality that the camera app alone gives.

Does anybody else notice this at all? I can try to post up pictures if nobody knows what I'm talking about...

FYI, I kept digging into this issue and found that I'm not alone (contrary to the plethora </s> of replies I've received here).

Just for technical accuracy the one guy is reporting that this behavior is also present on the iPhone 7/8 plus, but not on a 6s/7. Sounds like all the dual camera models.

Yeah I thought that was interesting also... When using these same apps on my 6s prior to my upgrade to the X, I thought the ARKit stuff looked amazing.

I get this but I have to say I get exactly the same on the 6S Plus.
I get a much much muddier camera image in ARKit apps than in any dedicated camera apps, on both phones.
Almost like I have a cheap sh*tty screen protector on.
