Chances are if you’ve had your iPhone for several years, you’ve noticed that The camera doesn’t take those photos that surprised you the first day You tried your phone. That’s normal, it happens to all of us, but is there any kind of explanation? Is it our fault? Is it planned obsolescence?
Today we will see if It is a common thing And what makes us see these kinds of photos with worse quality? Because yes, it’s not your fault, and the iPhone in a few years will not take the same image despite using the same lenses. It’s strange, but we can fix it in a certain way. Let’s see.
My iPhone takes worse photos than before
Let’s go through the reasons that cause this point by point. Some can be solved, while others are permanent and we won’t be able to do much to remedy them.
- Battery degraded: It may seem absurd, since the battery should not have any influence on anything other than keeping the phone on for longer or shorter periods of time. However, a battery in poor condition produces limitations in the processor, voltage changes and various points that make your iPhone work worse, which affects the rendering of the photo, making it look worse than on a brand new phone.
- Storage very full: Did you know that if your iPhone is almost full, the processor and other components run slower, and iOS limits their use? This is also one of the reasons why overall performance is worse, resulting in lower quality photos.
- iOS Updates: Software is a fundamental part of rendering photos. If you use a third-party camera app, or even Instagram, you will see that it takes worse photos than the original, and we are not talking about compression to upload them, but the simple fact of taking them, so iOS also affects it, and the latest systems are designed for the latest models, so, although we cannot call it planned obsolescence, it would go down the same path, and Apple is not stupid.
- Scratched or dirty lenses: Even if you don’t notice it at first glance, I’m sure your lenses have more dirt or signs of use than you think, and with such a tiny sensor, everything counts, so cleaning them with a special product (if we don’t have one, we can use alcohol and cotton) could improve their quality a lot.
This may apply to the overall performance of the device, however, we hardly mind that it gets hotter or takes longer to open an app, however, when we see a photo from 3 years ago and a current one, it does seem strange and bothers us that it no longer does things like it used to. Some aspects have a solution. If you put them all into practice, I assure you that you will notice the difference.
And you, did you know this? Did you think that some of the factors seen today mattered so much that a photo would turn out worse? Leave us a comment with your impressions.
