iPhone 16 Pro Max Night Photos with Flares and White Points

Please post a recent photo showing the issue? Are you handholding your iPhone or using a tripod? What app are you editing photos in? Can you also post the metadata for the image you post?

YES, seriously. I gave you an example of what repositioning the camera relative to lights can do for you. If you think your phone should recognize and remove lens flare when taking photos at night with lights in the scene, then you have completely unrealistic expectations and you will constantly disappointed. Either take the time to deal with lens flare which is completely normal or be disappointed. That's your choice.

Lens Flare is completely normal when photographing at night with lights. But they can also be reduced or eliminated. Before you took the photos, you could see them on your iPhone screen. You likely didn't notice them. Angling the camera differently could have completely eliminated them.

Below are two photos. In the first photo of lights on my deck, you'll see lens flare above the lights:

Without moving my feet or location, by angling the camera and watching the flares, I was able to take a photo, without lens flare:

You are the photography and it's up to you to notice things like flares when taking night photos. Taking the time to angle the camera better, will help you capture photos with little to no lens flare. But to expect your camera to fix this isn't going to happen. Even my Nikon DSLR, which costs appreciably more than my iPhone with a fast lens, which cost even more than the camera captures lens flare at night against lights.

>>I do not edit photos in any application, whether I rest the phone without moving and with exposure for 3 seconds or without exposure, the effect is similar, light flares, all strong light sources are reflected and transferred to the photo in another place, it is the fault of optics and bad coatings, bad angles<<

OK, so no tripod and handheld images. Please post a photo showing the settings for each image. Something like this.

W żadnej aplikacji nie edytuję zdjęć , czy to opieram telefon bez poruszenia i z naświetleniem 3 sekundy czy to bez naświetlania efekt podobny , flary świetlne , wszystkie mocne źródła światła są odbite i przeniesione na zdjęcie w innym miejscu , to wina optyki i złych powłok , złych kątòw

?? Are we supposed to have a clue what you said here?
