It does this whenever there is the least bit of backlighting, I hate it as well.

Here’s the only workaround I know:

Take the photo in raw mode, click on “edit”, you’ll see the post processing go away. In order to make it stick, you have to make some minor edit and hit save. Now share the raw image with yourself via text or email, which converts it to a jpg.

For real? Taking photos in RAW and doing a small edit took away the overprocessing?

Im about to buy a 14 Pro Max but I’m a photographer, so I’m naturally very picky about image quality. It’s making me rethink my decision.

Yes it works. I’m a hobbyist photographer. This approach worked for me with my old iPhone 13 Pro, as well as with my current iPhone 14 Pro.

I’d bet money Apple won’t change this for the iPhone 15. They tend to be very stubborn and proud when it comes to back peddling features that don’t work properly. This auto brightening of backlit subjects needs some sort of setting, and/or the ability to edit afterwards. It’s totally broken.

Thanks for your insights.

I’ll follow the sub to see if they improve it at all (doubt it), but getting a higher storage model would also give me comfort in shooting in ProRAW.

It gave me workable results, I wouldn’t say it’s 100%. If you have an 11 pro or newer I’d stay there until the 15 tbh.

I’m from Brazil, where iPhones are stupidly overpriced. I’m traveling to NYC in May and I was planning on grabbing a 14 Pro Max, since my 11 is pissing me off already.

I’ll think about it a bit more. Waiting for the 15 would mean paying the stupid Apple tax towards the end of the year.

My best advice is if you have any friends who have it, ask them if you can test it out.
