I didn't say that the iPhone has a better camera. I just said that it tends to take more realistic shots. However realistic shots don't make you go wow. The Samsung cameras on the other hand do.
Got a tip for us?

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: Best Smartphone Camera

Don't know what you're looking at but sky and skin tones on iPhones are always oversaturated and off.
iPhone 6s Plus (have never seen sky this blue/purple)
Galaxy Note S7
Or, skin tone that looks overbaked with a case of hepatitus.
Seeing is believing.I can formulate my opinion seeing videos
I stopped reading when the guy had the audacity to say
THIS (6s)

Was better than (S7)

That article even on an Apple site has gotten 34 downvotes and ridicule everywhere.Its trash
Just a question that only the person who took the picture can answer:
Which of these pictures was the actual reflection of light situation on the scene? Did your eyes see a light situation similar to the S7e pic or the 6s pic?
I too, speak from personal ongoing experience with both phones. Ironically how well the camera performs is a very low priority for me since I don't use my smartphones camera very much anyway.
As such, the superiority of Samsungs photos are even more noticeable to me. I just snap the picture, without any painstaking effort to compose it, and the Galaxy photos always stand out as exceptional.
iPhone photos, even those taken with my 6S Plus are just average. And that's not bad!
Why Apple excuse makers feel compelled to go to Apple's defense claiming it's a old camera or whatever other excuse they offer up... is revealing of the emotional connection they have to Apple. Why get so serious and defensive...
Having lots of camera gadgets and playing with them during years i can tell you that the exposure (for the foreground) is wrong in the picture taken by iphone. On that level of the sky brightness, the person is way too dark.
Neither the picture taken with S7 is correct either. The question is more like, would you like to see something on the picture or just shadows. I think most of the people would like to see the object rather than just the background.
And because we are talking about phones i quess the hdr-mode didnt turn on (or it was turned off) in iphone while the hdr-mode is on in s7.

Both pictures are pretty rubbish but the one from the S7 appears better with the exposure ramped up. It could be possible that the person taking the picture with the iPhone could have improved it by tapping on the foreground to change the focal point. This would have made the girl appear lighter as the background is much brighter than the foreground.
There is no point arguing over which is better. No doubt the S7 takes a better photo but they are phones at the end of the day. My iPhone 6 takes a pretty good photograph, but I don't loose sleep thinking there might be a better camera on a rival brand. Get real.

How is the iPhone camera almost two years old if it was released in September?
Lol!All but imore
Some of their articles can be informative, I just wish they could be a bit more objective and generally passionate about tech the way their sister sites are. You already know what you're gonna find from Rene the moment a new phone comes out... A plethora of articles about an iPhone that wont be out for close to 8 months and all the things wrong about competitors (even if completely fabricated).
I still can't get over his comment about not trusting Samsung with his fingerprint because they didn't align the USB port. It was obviously an engineering decision.
I read the article. You can't be serious?You actually believe the crap on youtube?
Did you read the article to see their conclusions, or dismissed it because of your own biases?
This is where Samsung needs to take it next. Agreed whole heartedly.
Which basically translates into that anything can be rationalized when bias is introduced. Nothing new, we do it everyday. Lol.
Did you bother reading the comments on that article?At least 90% of the iPhone owners disagreed with Rene and admitted the S7 wrecked the iPhone in camera.You have to be heavily biased to believe the iPhone even stood a chanceI'm serious.

Im sorry Rene is stuck in the biggest reality distortion field i have ever seen. Its not just this, its everything..
Comments like "iPhone is the best google phone". He is ridiculous. I have a 6 Plus but i can see that Samsung has the best cameras at the moment. The picture with the women not visible on iphone yet Rene claims its better is hysterical.

DED articles on Apple Insider are just as crazy. But what's even more shocking are his followers. They hang on his every word. Seriously, it's like a cult over there.

It is like a cult over there on apple insider. They all have a very narrow funnel of information they want to see and discuss. It it doesn't fit their narrow POV...it gets dismissed by them.
Lol I honestly can't take Rene Ritchie seriously. He's the personification of biased fanboy. Literally Samsung could release Galaxy S8 that actually prints real money vs an iPhone 3G that doesn't even come on, and Rene would still come up with some random ass reason the iPhone is better. Dude is biased as hell
Here's the deal with Rene, if your looking for a good comparison with another handset he's not the one that will give it you because he whole heartedly prefers an iPhone and ios over anything else.
But what he's really good at is explaining why he thinks apple is better and why apple does certain things the way they do them. So if your looking for good insight into the world of apple, he is great and probably my go to.

I get that but his rationalizations are so off the wall sometimes that they can't and shouldn't be taken seriously.
lol.He sucks even at that.He moronically keeps insinuating the bottom of the S7 design speaker and the charging port dont line up when its a fact that its done that way for waterproofing.He completely forgets that the iPhone camera is also not symmetrical at all as well
If you actually listened to what he says, he talked about how he has spoken to Apple about the ports lining up. And the reason why they line up on the iPhone and not the S7/S6 has nothing to do with water proofing, it's because apple is so anal about those ports lining up that they actually have those parts custom made so they sit symmetrical in the casing while Samsung uses off the shelf parts.
But if all your looking for is his opinion on other handsets, just know he will think the iPhone is better.
If your talking about his opinion, then yes you will never agree with him, his opinion is so skewed it's funny sometimes. But when he's actually giving out information, as in facts not opinion, he does a really good job of giving a clear picture of what's going on. Sure he then takes those facts and forms a biased opinion that you may not agree with, but as an informed person you can take those facts too, learn something, and make your own opinion on the matter.
I don't disagree with you but the way he composes his articles makes his rhetoric indistinguishable from fact to the general public.
I will say this though, from an online business standpoint where revenue is driven through views, he's a cash cow because he draws people in from both sides of the fence. I myself find it hard not to look at his articles because I want to see what nonsense he is spewing next.
