Here's a picture of my cat that I took yesterday. It's not amazing or anything but it is crisper than my 5s took.

Sorry but no way that is 'crisper' than a 5S! I still have mine and have tested them out against my 6+ and 6S+. The new iPhones are notorious for smudgy photos and yours is no exception. It may look better in some areas, but crispness/sharpness ain't one of them!

Could you please create a thread comparing them? no one seems to notice this...
 
Looks amazing! Except I'd crop out the top quarter of the picture because of that awful monet/water color looking depth of field effect. It's not a smooth blur, it looks smudgy and bad. I don't know what is causing this, whether it is software-related photo processing effects, or if it is an odd characteristic of the sensor. Either way, Apple has done a bad job with that. Everything but blurred backgrounds look awesome. The little bit of depth of field we get due to the larger aperture of the lens looks awful. I wish Apple could go for a lower aperture of like f2.0 or f1.8, but I don't know if that would cause other issues, as I don't know all that much about lenses and such.
 
the monet effect on the background is still there as i can see...... no fix yet for the agressive noise reduction. Maybe a software choice from apple... still backgrounds on photos taken with 5S are the most crystal clear.

Even the constrast looks like **** as well, keeping my 5S for this reason until the next cycle if this is not fixed, I will move to something else, what a disappointment...

If you want to get the best quality photos from the iPhone, you need to get an app that allows full control of the camera. I recommend 645 pro for lossless compressed tiff images or very high quality jpeg files. You can avoid noise by setting the iOS low!

Thanks mate for the info but i dont know why they messed up the noise reduction control after 5S.... and still not fixed yet..... i mean on closeup's 6's camera is better than 5s's but when you shoot sceneries i cant accept that monet effect on the background.... no issues with 5S camera.

I haven't noticed that yet. I did see it on the 6+ because of the larger pixels, but this 12mp is sweet! There is an app I use regularly called "big photo" and that app allows you to view your images at full resolution, allows you to resize, and see exif data. It's a good app.

Another great app Camera+
