iPhone 15 base model,thanks for the tips.max zoom,focus on moon,set to lowest exposure
Settings please ??
Also interesting how it’s only 27KB. All the black pixel were probably cut off
I think that is an AI generated image to fool us into thinking it was the phone camera

Max zoom, Minimum exposure. You gotta insist to make it focus, then lower the brightness (sun symbol) even more. No night mode needed
AI turned off? Looks like an ai picture
Some post processing was definitely done under the hood, but it looks close enough to what I was seeing while taking it
Still looks great!!
What AI? In iPhone we don’t have the option to disable picture enhancing and etc. Just raw or processed jpeg.
Also iPhone 14 Pro. Just amazing for a phone nowadays
Taken from a iPhone 13 with little editing.
Hey the moon just switched its light off
Meanwhile i zoom in on a tree with a 13 and it’s a lower quality than shit from the 90s

Genuinely curious as to why people don't get all up in arms about iPhone moon pictures but they do for Android phone moon pictures.
Yeah they are way better right?
Android/Samsung moon photos are faked.
No they are not. I have an iPhone and a Samsung. Both are quite good. Both are using post-processing. That makes the pictures fake? No it doesn't
Adding detail when it isnt there is fake. https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS23Ultra/s/8MwWgjkUra
That's just the AI post processing, something that iPhones also have. Look at the first comment replying to that whole ass bible.
Anyway i am not here to argue with anyone. I just enjoy having both phones lol. An S23 Ultra and an iPhone 15 Pro Max.
So photo processing in terms of enhancing elements in the photo is not bad in my opinion. Samsung, on the other hand, adds details to the photo that were not taken. For me personally, this is where the line is crossed between enhancing a photo in the background, optimizing colors and simply faking a photo.
I also used a Samsung for a long time and find the technology behind the photos really interesting. I just find the advertising and not really pointing it out a bit of a shame.
Fair enough. I don't mind much to be honest. Besides if it is like that it would only be useful in just certain scenarios.
The enhancement works excellent to read long distance signs, something that i can't do on the iPhone at the same distance. I need to be closer with the iPhone.
That's the advantage of having both i guess. For example i still notice certain differences between Android pictures and iOS pictures when posting on Instagram.
This is my wallpaper now, thanks
Enjoy!
There’s a billion far better than photos of the moon lol.
Good
Got it on 15 pro aswell. I didnt know about the exposure setting when I had 13 pro, I’m curious how would it take this photo
How do you do this? 14 pro max and my photo comes out blurry. Help!
Once it’s focused you need to bring the exposure down.
Tried this, came out all pixelated and ugly
Any more ideas please?
Use an app like Yamera that allows you to manually adjust focus and exposure.
iPhone cameras are default set to the worst setting go to settings > Camera & it’ll show different resolutions
Which do you reccomend for videos and for normal pictures?
Also i captured quite a nice picture, however when i go to edit the picture the exposure and brightness levels reset themselves? How come i cant edit the picture with the already set levels i took the picture with initially?

For an iPhone it’s pretty good and the mobile cameras have come a long way. Take away the AI photoshopping that Android phones do, and any old DSLR with an actual telephoto lens will still blow away ANY phone on the market.
Taken on Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra with Scene optimizer turned off (No AI enhancement)
It's funny how I'm getting downvoted lol, just wanted to share some insight, no hate at all towards iPhones here.
Yes, phone technology can take decent pictures of the moon. This isn't something new... I'm surprised people don't ever try moon pics with different settings.
Snipe it to change its size
Is that the sun?
15 pro max x25 zoom, was still pretty light outside and picture was taking in a hurry, could probably be better if i took my time
I remember my Samsung Galaxy could not see the moon properly with regular the lens. Then I started zooming and it was just the same bright dot getting “closer” but it was until I reach the end of the “zoom” that the image of the moon became “pretty”… my question is… is the image real or just AI rendering the moon when it detects that you are trying to shoot at it and then fool us into thinking it was the “lens” that do it… I never saw the atmospheric distortion it should be seem when zooming this much with the phone camera…
