We've taken Apple's newest iPhones all the way to Iceland to see how well they stack up against last year's model, but what about the original iPhone — and maybe everything in between? That's just what Camera+ app-maker and photographer Lisa Bettany has done with all eight of Apple's iPhone models thus far (except for last year's iPhone 5C) to show the difference a year — or seven — makes in terms of camera hardware.
Bettany tested macro shots, backlit shots, daylight, lowlight, sunset, and portrait shots. Each lets you see the full size, along with a quick sliver of each in a combined view.Some of the biggest findings are the improved lowlight capabilities of the iPhone 6 over the 5S, though Bettany found the camera's reproduction of skin tones while shooting portraits to be "slightly pixelated and blotchy-looking," and its rendering of sunset to be "much flatter" than efforts from iPhone predecessors.
The 8-megapixel camera found in the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are basically identical, except for the fact that the one in the 6 Plus is equipped with optical image stabilization. As we've explained before, that feature is designed to compensate for hand-shake and camera movement, making it a potentially better solution for taking shots of non-moving objects and stabilizing video.
