I hope this gains traction and Apple tones it down. It overly smooths skin on the main back camera as well. I would rather have more detail in my pics than artificial smoothing.
Got a tip for us?

So the XS blurs out the ugly parts, huh? Sounds like I can finally take that handsome picture for my Tinder profile!
“Magic iPhone in my hand, who is the fairest in the land?”
*takes selfie*
*entire face is smudged*

Guess this doesn't concern me. I think I've used the selfie camera on my last 5 iPhone models maybe... 4 times in 5+ years? I already know I'm ugly. No beauty face lens is going to help that.
I don't remember Samsung getting this much attention when they had it on their photos. It was a lot more obvious too. lol.

RE: "It makes sense that we'd see differences between the iPhone XS Max and say, an iPhone 8 because the front-facing cameras are different, but as far as we know, the iPhone X and XS are using the same 7-megapixel front-facing camera."
It's NOT safe to assume they are using "the exact same" 7 Mpx image sensor as the previous generations.

I don't see what the problem is. Most of these photos end up on Instagram with the hopes of getting validated by narcissists. You'd think smoother airbrushed skin would be praised.
Free make-up wit your iPhone purchase of $1000 or more - courtesy Apple!
I'm sure if it was intentional Apple would of charged more for it
Why defend over done picture modifications?

except htey are not more visually appealing. They are worse than some garbage snapchat filter.

Samsung gives you the option to turn it off. Apple on the other hand...Guess this doesn't concern me. I think I've used the selfie camera on my last 5 iPhone models maybe... 4 times in 5+ years?

So in other words this is a non-conspiracy, and nothing to do with vanity.
I'm neither a wax mannequin nor covered in dimethicone, Apple. Gross.
Never been a fan of heavy-handed processing. Much rather capture as many reality photons as possible and take care of manipulating the image manually.
The reason your selfies are getting smoothed over is because the Neural Engine thinks you're flawed. Welcome to Ai.
Unbox Therapy has to be the most annoying "Tech reviewer" right now.
Constant click bait, annoying thumbnails, and always obnoxious with that fake over the top personality.

Some people prefer to selfie their natural homeliness.
MacRumors,whatever you do, don't post this Unbox Therapy guy's video here.he is a complete sold out attention seeker, doing everything to gather a few clicks.no one should watch his value-less,rubbish video any more.he is disgusting.
This was exactly my response. I figured I'd be one of like 5 people who care about losing detail. A little added noise reduction is the least of my worries. The number of pictures of family members I get now that I can hardly recognize is really making me crazy-- everybody wants to look like some doe eyed anime version of themselves.
Honestly, the point of a camera is to take a picture of things as they actually are, post processing is to fix things.
Its not a bug, its a feature to deter people from wasting their lives on selfies. Maybe now we will finally see better use of people's time then bloody selfies. The amount of vanity these days is astounding. (and no, i'm not 60 years old :-D )
Exactly, this is why I love my point and shoot camera, unless I specifically tell it to do otherwise, it takes a picture of what is actually there.
Gee, a selfie lens that makes you better looking than you are. Horrifying! What camera malpractice!
