Just the basic editing. No special tool was used.
Everyone's pictures are so crisp! You guys using the stock Camera app or a 3rd party Camera app from the App store? I feel like my pictures taken with my XS Max don't ever look this clear.
Stock Camera App. No Edit.

Been using only the stock camera app.

Stock camera app. This is why photography is more about the photographer than the tool.
From my recent trip to Switzerland.
Give me all your cookies
PS: are dogs not supposed to be eating chocolate? Why tease the beast man whyyyyy?
Yup chocolate is very bad for them haha.
The tiny, tiny pixel pitch on these sensors are not conducive for lower light photography. The “meta noise” that you are seeing is probably just the “normal” (both luminance and chroma) noise that has been amplified by a huge ISO.
Noise reduction is what smooths out details and gives a horrid smeared oil painting look to everything.
You could try one of the 3rd party apps that give you manual control and play with a lower ISO and lower shutter speed, however that’s prone to motion blur of course, from either the subject matter and/or you.
There’s not much you can do regarding low light.
It is what it is. Sensor saturation is what you always want to go for. High ISO is not the answer. That does not make the sensor more sensitive nor does it change the exposure. It just amplifies all the existing noise from the underexposed shot.

Photo of Molly using only available street lights. That’s where the ray of light is coming from. There was another light to the right. The street light to her left was about 30 ft. away, while the one to her right was about 5 ft. away.
Taken on my iPhone XS Max using the standard Apple photo app in photo mode. Edited using the standard Apple photo app editing features.

A bit of alps from my last trip to Switzerland.
WOW! ...
Almost makes me want to go back to church; almost.
Great pictures ... the quality of the images, the colour and hue for time of day ... just right!
