It is likely that if you have had your iPhone for several years, you have noticed that the camera does not take those photos that surprised you on the first day that you tested your phone. That is something normal, that happens to all of us, however, does it have some kind of explanation? Is it our thing? Planned obsolescence?…
Today we will see if it's a common thing And what leads us to see this type of photographs with worse quality, because yes, it is not your thing, and the iPhone after a few years will not make the same image despite using the same lenses. It's weird, but we can sort of fix it. Let's see it.
My iPhone takes worse photos than before
We are going to look point by point at the reasons that generate this. Some can be solved, while others are permanent and we won't be able to do much to remedy it.
- Degraded battery: It may seem absurd, since the battery would not have to influence anything other than having the phone on for more or less time. However, a battery in poor condition produces limitations in the processor, voltage changes and several points that make your iPhone work worse, which affects the rendering of the photograph, making it look worse than on a brand new mobile.
- Very full storage: Did you know that if your iPhone is almost full, the processor and the rest of the components work slower, just as 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 photo rendering. 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 rather the simple act of taking them, which is why 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 the same way, and Apple is not stupid.
- Scratched or dirty lenses: Although you may not notice it at first glance, I am sure that your lenses have more dirt or signs of use than you think, and in such a tiny sensor, everything counts, so cleaning them with a special product (if we don't have one, we can use alcohol and a cotton ball) could improve their quality, a lot.
This can apply to the general performance of the device, however, whether it heats up more or takes a little longer to open an app hardly matters to us, however, when we see a photo from 3 years ago, and a current one, it does seem strange to us and it bothers us that it no longer takes them like before. Some sections 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 believe that some of the factors seen today mattered so much to the point that a photo turned out worse? Leave us a comment with your impressions.
