Took my dog for a ride today. Took some photos as well. All are straight from my camera roll, with just a little bit of rotating, since I was driving (I did brake to take the photos.) all taken with a 6s. The first two are of the widest part of the Mississippi River between Illinois and Iowa. View attachment 587836

Is that from a 6s or 6s+? Would manually adjusting the exposure (not sure if that's the right term) have helped?

Yeah, it was just a quick test shot (it started raining a few moments after I snapped it). I'm going to try some more low light shots with a few apps that give you more control over ISO, exposure and shutter speed on a tripod soon and see how different the results are.
 
If you feel the need to resize your photos to around 18mp equivalent, the app called "Big Photo" does a superb job of resizing! I realize that a lot of you are probably not photographers and really don't push the limits of your iPhone with photography, so I maybe spinning my wheels here because I feel that a lot of y'all probably don't care the least. If that's the case, then I just won't share anymore of my tips. Anyway, here is a photo that I took with my iPhone 6s Plus and resized it to an 18 megapixel equivalent and it still holds its resolution quite well. I see that y'all are talking about the noise reduction being aggressive in the phone this time around, I'm not sure that's what that is, I'm thinking that it's the tiny optics unable to fully and completely resolve the out of focus background data and therefore it probably renders it into a mushy looking image.
Here is the photo.

can we see the original result?

If you find any that work particularly well, please share!

Tonight I used the Pure Shot & Hydra apps to compare with the stock camera app. The PureShot files were saved as tiffs and I probably won't do that again because they don't seem to want to export. The only workaround I found was to upload to flickr.

Based on the photos I took tonight, I'm not noticing a big difference but I still need to look at a couple more. Here's an unedited shot the stock camera app took that actually looks better than one from PureShot because I chose ISO 400 and the camera app chose ISO 200. I dialed down the exposure / brightness level a bit before snapping. I think it did a pretty good job.

Here is the iPhone 12.19mp original:

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.
