I wonder if it's a hardware problem. Different camera batches??? It can't be software since everyone is having different experiences with the same version of iOS.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 6 plus: photos look...grainy

I was hoping Apple would fix it with an update, but it's been so long now I can't see it.
It seems wierd to me, this is the first iPhone that produces worse pictures than the last one.
I understand why they are applying some noise reduction, but they are using it far too excessivley, and in situations that don't need it.

Well considering how far I was from that house. It turn out to be pretty good to me. And there is no way my 4s took pictures this one. But to each is own I guest.

No it is not. Look at that little plant in the bottom left at 100% resolution. You can barely make out what the hell it's supposed to be.
The same goes for the rest of the grass...

100% agree with you. I agree with almost all already mentioned posts. I bought a 6 about week ago. Photos looks terrible at 100%, much worse then 5s. Smudgy, over processed painting effect. Daylight photos looks bad in 100%, especially skin and faces, eyes. I am not sure if I want to keep it. Are u 100% sure that's a software problem, not a hardware one? For me as a person experienced with photography it looks like 100% software issue. One thing which i really cant understand is WHY nobody mentioned thisproblem in a review. All reviews state that everything is awesome about the photo quality etc but its not true. I would even said that "daylight" photos looks much worse. Photos in a dark look much better as smudging and noise reduction make it better but the same level is being applied for low ISO photos in a daylight which looks much worse then 5s. Where are details? I am really disappointed with it. I bought 6 for photo quality.
Already own a pro dsrl. There is no point to compare it to the phone. The problem is 6 vs previous models quality. I thought this is obvious.
That's nice.
But the rest of us do care, so we'll carry on discussing it. But thanks for your input.
It just seems odd for Apple to take a backwards step this year, when every other year they have taken iPhone photography pretty seriously.
A camera is a tool and you pick the best one for what you want to achieve. To sit and bellyache over what you perceive to be a problem with an iPhone might just lead you to superior results so long as you give up a little bit of convenience, that being the flat do-it-all device in your pocket.
Hi guys it's a bit of a necro post but the iPhone 6 Plus has a faulty iSight camera module for certain models issued. You can check your serial number on apple support website. It's a warranty fix or replacement for free if your phones affected https://www.apple.com/support/iphone6plus-isightcamera/
Does this mean they'll replace the entire phone or just the camera? Not too keen on them opening my phone :/
in the photo settings I turned up all the video options to max res, turned the grind on (not sure that really did anything) turned off keep normal photos. On my 6s+ low light was grainy if I would try to use the focus (touching the screen) I could remove the grain by adjusting the SUN up or down (touch and holding moving finger up or down away from the zoom area).
resurrecting this thread to add my findings after noticing grainy photos with my 6S. i noticed that i was zoomed in using pinch to zoom in camera.app which was exacerbating the problem.
what's weird/interesting to me is that once you've zoomed in, it saves the setting when you leave and return to the app but it doesn't indicate to you that you're zoomed in...until you pinch again.
