Straight out of the camera. This is a "large" export from Mac Photos. The only edit was to straighten it. (the full size file is 27.2mb and too large for MR)
Got a tip for us?

A couple of simple edits. There's a lot of info in the 48mp files.

Two of the same night shot.
The dark one is me finger-exposing on the purple lights, the bright one is the phone choosing ..... whatever point it chooses.
The odd lens artifacts seem to be a thing with camera phones. I didn't have my 16 Pro with at the time to compare.

This is a great example of why I don't like random people taking pics of me, posed or otherwise.
THEY ALWAYS CUT SOMETHING OFF.
Of the four feet on these two people, only half of one is visible.
And why? Because the photo taker has no concept of framing. They just center the face on screen, paying NO ATTENTION TO THE CORNERS.
And look at, LITERALLY, all that head room, which is what the camera exposed for. Again, a victim of framing lol
And there's no getting past that idiotic, juvenile, color lighting. No camera handles that. The only way past that is using a dedicated flash head, at full power, to light the subject, and those require the use of a dSLR.

I’ve just gotten my new iPhone 17P and I’m pretty impressed with some of the pictures I’ve seen it capture. I’m going to start getting into photography, but I’m starting from “absolute scratch.”
That handsome guy (OP) is a MacRumors user? Yay! Our forum's good-looking average went up!
Cringe, but also OP went and posted themself on an Internet forum so it was a matter of time
Relax man. This was just a picture to show what the "normal, everyday" person would accomplish when taking pics with their iPhone Air. This isn't a photography competition.
I’m glad somebody set him straight, goodness the level of arrogance of some people is unbelievable.
These are mobiles at the end of the day, the quality of any photo they spit out is pretty poor compared a camera. But I don’t find the Air at all bad, when compared to my 15Pro - which also often took awful photos if lighting conditions were tricky. The limitations are still very evident.
No one has mentioned the Mrs.
OP is definitely batting above his average 😀
Same type of people who would go to some little kid's lemonade stand and tell them how a fortune 500 business would be run
the iPhone 16e also only has on camera and has its ups and downs as well but have heard it is a okay camera that gets the job done ✅
A single-lens set up has distinct advantages. No barrel distortion, chromatic aberration and edge softness. And it can handily compensate with AI and multi-frame fusion. To add, less power consumption and heat generation.
I encourage Apple to incorporate more AI into image processing and ignore critics.

Hey keep OP's wife's name out ur mouth!
There are some slim mirrorless cameras that may be worth carrying around for these situations. For even better low light results without as much lens flare. I'm too lazy but maybe it's an option for other people.
