Post your photos taken with 6s and 6s+

watched them carefully..
really not bad upscaling.
manages to keep the "water color" crap to a minimum so when you look at the bigger file up to a certain size,
it LOOKS i bit more sharp.
however, the real problem is in low light, when the artifacts get much worse.

Well that is a totally different ballgame, that is when you use a different app called Cortex Camera which stacks many many photos together to get rid of noise and improves overall image quality. I think you should look into it. Here I am given all you guys all these photo tips and you're just pushing them aside not even worrying about it. you're still complaining about the regular camera. I take a lot of photographs with my iPhone using the regular camera and different apps all the time so I know what I'm talking about. Try cortex camera, you will like it. By the way it does not work the best with moving subjects.
 
The colors were so vivid today!

well it depends on how well it handles the speed.. if it has to be too slow then it's a bit too restricting for me.
can you upload a cortex sample?

CORTEX CAMERA HANDHELD: this is the Austin skyline using my 6 plus (non s). Haven't had time for a shot like this on my 6s plus yet. Cortex renders the shots to 12.5mp from the 6 plus 8mp sensor. As you can see, there is little to no noise. This is an unprocessed photo.

Absolutely amazing how far cell phone cameras have come. I remember when my Mom had one of those Sony Ericsson flip phones from like 2003 or something and thought it was coolest thing ever. Fast forward to now, and there are phones that do 4K and take beautiful photos. Amazing.

I'd have to give the "edge" to the Samsung. The colors look more natural and the keys on the keyboard are visible and aren't washed out like the 6s.

I'm not blindly defending the iPhone, I'd say the same thing if the pictures were reversed. It looks like the iPhone was basing the exposure more on the black iPad case because it filled more of the frame. These pictures are too different to make a real comparison, and that's the problem with trying to do this. No offense to the picture taker, I appreciate that they took the time to do this.
 
Here is another example of cortex camera in very low light dark conditions. This is just some random girl on a bicycle sitting at the stoplight. She did move her head a little bit therefore it has some motion blur but you can see that the noise levels are extremely low.

It still suffers from the phones processing-noise reduction.

Actually it doesn't. During that exposure a couple of cars drove by and the apps software compensates for that movement by cloning the scene with some kind of processing. Had those cars not passed by you would have a very clean image. I guess this was a poor example I'll have to try to do something else. The color noise that you see in that photograph are from the app itself compensating for the movement in the background.
 
image.jpeg Cortex on the left and standard camera (HDR mode on) on the right. You can definitely tell the difference. But as I mentioned before cortex camera, is not designed for moving objects. That is the only downfall or negative part about that app. So if you're shooting landscape photos or buildings downtown it would be perfect for such things. The cortex image is unprocessed and can stand a little bit of sharpening. But overall it is much cleaner than the standard camera which took this photo at ISO 1250

You guys rotate your phone to landscape mode when taking photos? To the right where camera is on the bottom right corner or to the left where it stays on upper left corner? Which is better or it doesn't matter? Just curious.

It really doesn't matter. It all depends on your angle and point of view that you're trying to achieve. When holding the phone some people's fingers might be in the way of the camera so they'll rotate it one way or another to avoid touching the lens. If I was holding my iPhone close to the ground to get a unique perspective very low, then I would rotate the camera to the right and get the lenses close to the ground possible. Otherwise out of habit, I usually rotate mind to the left.
