The comments in this post.......this place has gotten completely ridiculous. Another 50 comment pages of dumpster fire. Sometimes I wish we could just delete the Internet and start over.

Love the coverage MacRumors provides. Can't stand the forums any more. I think I'm out for good. This community has gone nowhere but downhill.
 
That football shot seems quite a bit too impressive for a phone camera, just in terms of shutter speed alone. I get that the colour and sharpness may be much better... But that shutter speed? Seems odd. It looks like, at first glance, a shot from a $3000 DSLR, but then the noise is insufferable, bringing it back to reality. It's really not that spectacular.

Because smart phone camera lenses don't have adjustable apertures and have to always be shot wide open ( maximum aperture ), in bright light ISO settings can be very low and shutter speeds very high. I have seen EXIF data from my iphone 6 over 1/4,000th of a second. Here is a production shot from this past Winter that is 1/3,000th of a second @ ISO 32, F2.2, you might be able to pull the EXIF data, you might not.

I still think the internet should be "read only" by the great unwashed. Always gives me a giggle when forums refer to themselves, somewhat optimistically, as "communities" ... L_O_L! Real communities form close, personal bonds and intimate friendships and look out for one another, something this sterile, insular attempt at approximating that can NEVER do.
 
Oh..and who took the first 'official' photos, since the phone hasn't been delivered to the general public?

Did you even Read the article? Or just jump to the comments? SI photographer.

And the best camera ever? Is the one you have with you. So kudos to apple and every other smartphone manufacturer for trying to create the best camera experience they can in a smartphone form factor.

This. We are all so entitled aren't we?
 
Didn't anyone's mother tell them "if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all?" Sheesh, everyone is beyond rude to one another! It can't be healthy, can't we all just be friends?


You're right, and I am pretty certain that the majority of these people were dragged up with no sense of moral framework or boundaries (they're gonna deny that, clearly!)

Civil, yes, but a random spattering of strangers that just so happen to have the same curiosities as me ARE NOT going to become "my friends" any more than I'd expect all the people in the supermarket to be "my friends", just because they also happen to be in the same place.

Can you spell delusion? The internet can, and lives it to the fullest extent! :D

Pity forums can't allow people to boot one another off a thread for a week - that would be SO much fun.

In the day and age of the Donald "Orange Menace" Trump this forum is like a gathering of polite gentlemen by comparison. Time to lower your expectations.

ROFL at the people saying these pictures are bad... I'm sure they'd be national treasures if they were taken by an Android phone. :rolleyes:

At least the latest Android phones from Samsung don't use film. The resulting fire would be much more intense. :p

Fair enough. I'm suprised Apple choose these, they really do not do the potential of the hardware justice. I'd have thought the photographer would have given Apple some better shots, taking advantage of the upgraded hardware.

Mind you I have seen crappy shots provided by canon and Leica at launch too.

As soon as you take photos in harsh mid-day sun you're guaranteed to produce photos that are waaay too contrasty, and for me, not very interesting. And there's little you can do in post to compensate.

But then, sport photos do little for me anyway. I like making photographs with my phone that are a little more artsy...

Most are android fanboys.
 
I don't think anyone can make any judgements until we get some native resolution samples. These down samples I hope are not representative of the true quality. It is also possible that someone on SI.com processed them some, or the display on my iPad Pro is messing with them a bit... But to me they look like someone used an unsharpmask filter on some of them. Like the first one, the people in the stands are obviously out of focus, but there is a hard outline around individuals that looks very unnatural.

Overall the look decent for a phone, but they don't blow me away. Like I said, I'll reserve judgement for full-res samples.

........just a reminder of a few things pkginstall said on this topic

You guys are beyond arrogant

have fun with your tail chasing
Cry me a river.
Clearly not an electronics engineer. 3.5mm jacks take up NOTHING, space wise, nor do SIM cards. Armchair engineers. Pffft.
Since you don't own a 7+, I am not sure how you feel able to qualify absolutes.

and people pointed out how you were wrong on the last 2

so take a look at yourself before saying you are above others and saying there delusional
