Plan to get an 8+ today so I will follow-up on this issue. it may take a few days but when I had the 7+ I did a pretty convincing analysis. I even used 3P apps to isolate lenses.

For me.. the issue was skin tones. In certain lighting (good and bad) the 7+ would JACK up the skin tones of my kids (light skin tone).. there would be watercolor effect, noise and and even weird discoloration (my son almost looking blue in the back seat of my car).

The 7+ did NOT have issues with objects that were not human and especially those that filled the screen. I have some pictures from the 7+ that blew me away straight out of the camera, no edits.

For the longest time I thought (and it still may be for some images) it was ‘math’ between the two lenses. However, I have had a 7 for less than a week and have already been able to recreate the skin tone watercolor issue.

FWIW, Apple seemed to take my image analysis seriously and did ‘capture’ the phone.

The other thing I noticed about the 7 was what seemed to be consistently over-exposed images. Not a lot and they can be corrected with edit.

I agree with those that say that if the 8/8+ has it.. the X will have it. I will say it is super frustrating as you see amazing images taken with the 7/7+ but then you can’t trust it to take quality pictures of kids.

We will see.

Very good question. If you see the issues you truly wonder how it isn’t resolved.

You really summed it up well and it is the skin tones. I wonder if you have a different skin color or if you are wearing a ton of clothes like a hat and ski mask if it still does that. Perhaps apple thinks this is better for sme odd reason.

My kids are light skin tone white kids if that helps.
