He chose two different places to shoot: a bright outside spot on a sunny day and a dimmer indoor area.<\/p>\n<p>Even with optimal lighting, the original 2007 iPhone struggled at first. This one featured a 2 megapixel camera that couldn\u2019t take good photos since they were hazy and grainy, with little detail. The camera hardware in the 2008 iPhone was unchanged from the original. It took a few years for things to improve, with the 2010 iPhone 4 featuring a 5 megapixel camera that was slightly clearer. Then, in 2011, with the 4S, it upgraded to an 8 megapixel camera, and things began to look much better in the sunshine. Casual photos were in good form, but the colors weren\u2019t always perfect, and the images were always a little muted when compared to what we have now.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal aawp-product--ribbon aawp-product--sale\" data-aawp-product-asin=\"B0FJ2L67HJ\" data-aawp-product-id=\"225028\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"tec02e-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"DJI Osmo Mobile 8 Advanced Tracking Combo Gimbal Stabilizer for Phone AI Native Tracking with Audio &amp; Lighting 360\u00b0 Pan Rotation Built-in Extension Rod &amp; Tripod 10h Battery Extension Rod\">\n<p>    <span class=\"aawp-product__ribbon aawp-product__ribbon--sale\">Sale<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31dyX4cLFCL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"DJI Osmo Mobile 8 Advanced Tracking Combo Gimbal Stabilizer for Phone, AI Native Tracking with Audio...\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n<p>            DJI Osmo Mobile 8 Advanced Tracking Combo Gimbal Stabilizer for Phone, AI Native Tracking with Audio&#8230;        <\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n<ul>\n<li>Native Tracking With Audio [4] &amp; Lighting [1] \u2013 Level up your shots with a DJI gimbal that combines tracking, audio reception [4], and lighting&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Seamless 360\u00b0 Pan Rotation \u2013 Enjoy 360\u00b0 horizontal rotation for immersive shots.

This one had dual rear cameras for the first time, a 12 megapixel main one and a 2x telephoto one, which made the phone a lot more flexible and capable of zooming in without sacrificing quality due to the usual digital zoom, but low light remained a major issue, and it took a while to resolve. Then came the 2019 iPhone 11 Pro, which has three sensors and serious image processing magic, allowing it to blend numerous exposures to make photographs look much cleaner. From this point forward, daylight shots looked great, with a far wider spectrum of dazzling highlights and deep shadows. But indoor shots were a completely different story. Under low light, previous models were noisy and blurry, however subsequent versions held their own and smoothed down grain without losing detail.<\/p>\n<p>According to Brownlee, the differences become much more visible when the light level drops. Even the 2017 iPhone X looked rough inside, with some visible defects. The 2020 iPhone 12 seemed a little too eager to smooth out the edges at times, making things appear artificial. However, by 2022, the iPhone 14 had improved significantly, and things had begun to settle down. Each step forward was due to larger sensors capturing more light, quicker lenses let in more light, and better algorithms ensuring that everything balanced out beautifully.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone 17 completes the timeline (for now), and when compared to the iPhone 16 from 2024, the differences may not appear to be significant at first glance, but they become clearer upon second look. For starters, the iPhone 17\u2019s main camera can now outperform the iPhone 16 in low light, maintaining sharpness even as the latter struggles. Dynamic range improved significantly, as did white balance, and clarity remained consistent whether taking shots indoors or outdoors.<br \/><span>[Source]<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
