I'd prefer not to share photos of my family, but I'll try to take some pics later and post them to help you compare.
I did notice the better low light photos.

We will go to the park later and take some pics there. Nice and sunny today.

I made a thread about this yesterday after I tested the 6, 6+ and my iPhone at the Apple Store. 6 and 6+ were brighter and better focused but they had very aggressive noise reduction which results in a smudged image.
Grainy pictures are the exact opposite of what you get with noise reduction
so I don't know what's going on.Every picture I saw from reviews looks amazing, and low light seems to be much better than 5s and galaxy s5.
yeah this camera is ridiculously good, the Focus Pixels and Cinematic Video Stabilization together works beyond good and makes a big difference.
the front camera on these new iPhones are actually really dam good too for a front camera, for the first time while laying in bed in a dark room with very little light with a smartphone, it picks up my face even with low brightness

Not grainy but smudgy.
I know, but the OP said the photos look grainy, which is the exact opposite of what you said.
Again, from what I've seen so far, the pictures look amazing (both in daylight or during the night).
I am not quite sure what this thread is about, either.
I can not make out any noise grain on the photos poste by the OP and I have a trained eye.
It's not grainy its smudgy. It happens with many small sensor camera that have an internal lens assembly. Most underwater compact cameras suffer from this. iPhone 6+ camera suffers from this also.
The OP complained about grain.
It's a phone camera. For that the image quality is pretty good.
I am actually surprised, because the sensor is so tiny that it's quite an engineering feat to get any snapshots out of it.
no problems with mine pics looks flawless i sent a few to friends they thought the pics were professionally done
Get a . replacement op My plus takes incredible low light photos some were better . than my Nikon d5200 with a 2.8 lens
I have no idea what you said there.

The bottom line is that the iPhone 6 can be outstanding in good light but, like almost all cameras (even often DSLRs), will get at best mediocre results in low/bad light.
I know this doesn't help you any but.. The details have a "water color" effect to me, which looks really similar to what Fuji mirrorsless camera owners are experiencing when they process their images in Adobe Lightroom When they use other apps to process their photos its fine. Just Google "fuji watercolor effect" - sems really similar to what is happening here with the details / shadows / etc

You obviously are not familiar with DSLRs. Professional cameras shoot almost noise free in the dark.
Is this something that can be overcome with the iphone camera eventually? Or is it due to some physical manifestation that DSLRs have over phone cameras in general?
