Apple wants to solve a big problem with cameras on iPhones. Many iPhone users complain about the green glow from some photos taken in a well-lit area or focused on illuminated objects. The new iOS 15 may be ready for this.
Photos taken under the sun, street lights, near neon signs or windows from light have long been plagued by lens flares when clicked on an iPhone.
This issue has been discussed many times at Apple’s online forums, but there has been no solution to this, at least until now.
IOS 15 beta 4 apparently bears Apple’s first attempt to address this issue.
This new version of iOS reportedly includes a way to process such images in a way that eliminates the flames and green dots in them.
Interestingly, lens flare removal took place on the device after the photo was taken.
This means that iPhones using the newer version of iOS 15 beta can process photos. The flare is still visible when taking a picture.
Device flare removal seems to be Apple’s decent attempt to resolve this issue. However, it has never been seen to work on all iPhone models since now.
Apple could finally fix the bright green issue on iPhone photos
Based on the shared experience of Reddit users, as seen by 9to5Mac, iPhone XS, iPhone 11, and iPhone 12 can remove lens flares using post-processing processing.
However, older iPhone models have not received such power from now on.
It is thought that the feature is currently only supported by iPhones running on Apple’s A12 Bionic chipset. This includes the iPhone XS, iPhone XR, and the latest iPhone models.
Those who are in the new beta version of iOS 15 and who find this feature effective even point out some limitations.
In some cases, green flares are still visible in photos, including trees or screens or bath lamps.
Also, this feature seems to be limited at the moment and is useless for videos shot in such cases. IPhone videos, therefore, are still plagued by flares, at least in the future.
Apple is expected to launch iOS 15 next month, and it is likely that the anti-flare feature will be introduced on iPhones.
Whether or not it’s a proven solution, Apple’s new effort will certainly help the iPhone get a better sense of taking photos with their devices.
