Oh i thought there is something wrong with my camera... Thanks for the clarification....
Yes, same lens flare as in iJustine's comparison video at 6:24 that makes the night sky uneven.
Yeah the wide angle camera doesn't have optical image stabilization for some reason, so no night mode.
One reason is because the wider the lens, the less stabilization you need.
The other reason is so they can add it to next year’s phone.
OMG, I thought it might be! It looks like my most favorite happy place, the Sandpearl resort on CLW Beach.
I live in Tampa!
Took some quick test shots with the Xs Max, 11 Pro Max, and my Pixel 3.
Overall I feel that between the iPhone and Pixel they are close with regards to keepers, however each has their own odd behavior and noise they tend to make. One thing that is really going against the pixel, is that it requires you to hold the shot 3 - 4 seconds longer to get the shot, but it is still a great feature, and quite honestly the OG between these two phones.

The plant photo was taken in some of the lowest light I bothered to test in. Being that I am a photographer as a small business, I have to be somewhat realistic as to what these things can do! 👀
In these shots, I prefer the Pixel 2. The color reproduction is more true to how the plant and brick looked to my eye, and the noise reduction didn't kill as much detail as did he 11 Pro Max.

This shot was of a street scene that has some standard items people can run into anytime.
In closing, sadly Apple did not give this feature to Xs, or iPhone X users. That is HUGE slap in the face in my opinion after experiencing the addition of Night sight on my Pixel 2 last year (now sold). With all the computational power in last years Max FAR outpacing even the Pixel 3, there is really no excuse I can see.

- Dark road
- signs
- bright street light
- halo of ballpark lights in the background sky.

Pretty similar experience to myself, can only get a half decent night mode picture when there is some form of light coming into the room Any picture I take in complete darkness turns out exactly like that- pitch black
XR with flash vs 11 Pro Max with night mode.
Thanks

Is night mode enabled where the moon icon is highlighted yellow? If not, tap on it to enable.
You have to have some low light available. No light or near black does not work. 3 seconds is default. If really dark, adjust it to 10 seconds.
