With the launch of virtually every iPhone, Apple have touted camera improvements especially in low light. Looking at these examples, the 11’s results were still rubbish. Haven’t seen anything to break my cycle of two yearly upgrades in this new phone

Because god forbid someone might want to take a picture that doesn't qualify as art.
You really can't imagine wanting to quickly capture a special moment in a low-light situation? Do you really think every photo must be "great photography" to be valuable and meaningful? And you can't imagine such low-light moments happening outside the context of a bar? You need to get out of the house and/or bar more.
I don't think you know much about photography.
Great photography is making the best of what you have, anywhere.
This feature is just for people that want to grab a quick pic without having to think about lighting and carrying around tripod to stabilize for long exposures. It's mostly a niche thing which might be why it took Apple so long to include it.
Now if the computational photography could also stabilize or remove motion blur from moving subjects, then you would have an interesting feature but right now it's just cool thing to try and show others at unlit parties.
A camera is an essential feature of a phone as most of us love taking pics. Apple have outdone themselves with the quality of the cameras by the looks of things. Of course real world use pics are what I want to see.
If you like to take good night photos, I'd say it's worth the upgrade alone. You don't need to get the Pro to get NM.
I think they're saying the same thing that others noticed when google first posted pics like these a year ago. The 'before' pics look like their blacks are crushed in post because smartphone cameras would try to expose all areas and get grainy images instead of completely black ones. Many of the 'before' photos look doctored or darkened.
The only time I've ever taken a photo with that much dark area in it was at night with no lights nearby or in a dark closet with the door closed. If there's a light on in the room, the picture would never look that dark.
Because sometimes great lighting just isn’t available and we’d like to take a photo anyway.
So with all the splashy news about new Apple services and devices this week, where is the reporting on how much tariffs are affecting the pricing scheme on new iPhones, iPads? I'd really like to see MacRumors do some reporting on this issue rather than constantly discuss new devices.
I’d love to know if the addition of a second, wider angle lens in any way enhances the 11’s digital zoom abilities.
Not really sure how much use I’d get out of a super wide angle lens, but I get that computationally you can’t really zoom out the way you can zoom in so in that respect it kind of makes more sense.

Uh, oh. I sense a great disturbance in the Force. There's no way an iPhone camera can be any good. These must be fakes, touchups, or (to take a page from the Huawei playbook) shot on a DSLR and passed off as camera shots. /s
Having done more and more video (and on device editing) with my iPhones for production & training videos, I really do appreciate the attention to detail on the video side. Living in both ecosystems, I have always been impressed by my Android phones cameras (Pixel 3 currently), but greatly disappointed with video and especially the audio in those videos.
Apple continuing to add power to these phones for video recording / editing is a great feature. The improvements of OIS and Audio capabilities on the phones is quite good. It will not replace my Sony cameras with XLR, but dang does it do well in a pinch or for B-Roll. Also, in the case of my Xs Max, does well with editing footage taken on my sony and Canon cameras.

Demo shots always look better for some reason
Probably because they are taken by professional photographers who know what they’re doing.
Understood...I hope reviewers test the hell of this feature
Based on the computation power it should worked - but Apple is running a business
If you download NeuralCam you can take night pictures right now on the iphone 8/X/XS - a little slow but it works
I think it’s safe to say the naysayers and haters have sullied their reputations to the point that no one pays any attention to them anymore, especially in the MacRumor comment sections.
