What if the Iphone 6 isn't truly 8 megapixels?

Why do you use the word claim like this is a court? I honestly don't give a **** If you believe me
"Claim" is a standard english word used in normal discussions, not just in court.
Obviously you do.
Your stubbornness in general and calling flickr a "crappy image hosting site" only make you sound like an obnoxious troll who doesn't know what he's talking about.
Since it's starting to irritate me, I'll help you with providing a direct download link to the full-sized photo:

Thanks for the full sized pics of that beautiful Border Collie - the 6+ cam's peak performance is freakin' amazing for a phone!
For the doubters, note that the 6/6+ does indeed have some problems with how images are rendered. NR is too aggresive in some scenes, and there is something off with contrast and local tone mapping.
This doesn't make it a bad phone camera, all it means is the image processing algorithims need tweaking. Apple will tweak sooner if we make a fuss, so please leave feedback.

Well the smudging you posted was in the bokeh so that's an odd conclusion of yours.
Since you're a photographer you should know that the background is supposed to be blurred and that's the way the lens works. The iPhone is F/2.2 and the focus was on the dog this everything else will be blurred. Bokeh. The bokeh looks weird but this is because it's a camera lens with a very small sensor.
Normally it would be circular or oval shapes.
NR is definitely applied over it though.
I see this being fixed in an update though so no issues.
The smudging isn't caused by the normal background blur. You know that's what I was referring too.
In all the images I've posted the focus and sharpness is very good in the subject areas, the fact that the bokeh isn't up to the standard of an slr is something I can live with, I've got a 16x12 of the dog image arriving today so I'll see how it looks in print.
The "since you're a photographer you should know" thing stuck out with me and it's bothering me, why is there so much skepticism on this forum that I'm a photographer? I didn't claim I was a nuclear chemist, it's not HARD to be a photographer.
Well I know it's not hard. I've been doing photography for over 6 years now. a lot of people use that term. I feel like you can only use it if it pays most of your finances. But that's just me.
A photographer means it's your career or job doesn't it?
Well a job should pay for your bills...
Idk I would just prefer people say they do photography.
A "photographer" is someone who has done pictures for national geographic or vogue ect... That's my opinion.
No, a photographer doesn't mean it's your career or job. I don't understand where that definition came from?
I mean when you think about someone who is a painter or a writer, you wouldn't judge their skill solely on how much money they make. A lot of it has to do with a passion for an art.
Why would a photographer have such an elite status related to the title..I don't get it.
And there are guys who work for sears making a living taking pictures of kids in front of a canned background all day and probably don't even know much about how the camera works. There are wedding photographers out there making bank just by using a Canon Rebel in auto mode with the flash up. I have more skills and experience than at least half the people out there making money on it.
True.

Lol at the Sears part. So true. I understand what you mean though. You're right.
Sorry there were other people so skeptical over me being a photographer but it wasn't you
I think if someone said they were a mechanic, you would expect them to do it professionally, no?
I'm an amateur photographer as well, but I wouldn't call myself a photographer because it's not my profession.
I wouldn't call myself a mechanic either, even though I do brakes and oil on my car.

This is silly. You people are restricting the term "photographer" to just people who make a living off it. That's ridiculous.
I don't have an iPhone 6 of any kind but from what I've seen around the forums pictures look really good. Of course when you zoom in 100% the pic will loose some detail but that's normal and present at all other phone cameras.
That's the connotation of the word. Even though the world is connected via the internet, language can still be used and interpreted differently in different areas. The only people I know that use the word photographer to describe themselves get paid. I'm not objecting to your use of the word, I just interpreted it differently than you may have meant it.
I agree. I am a wood worker. I have been doing it since I was 10. Anyone that has knows me would say the same. I have made $0 my entire life from this. It's my hobby. I could work in the field but I choose not to.
