The quality of photographs taken with the Iphone has got to be one of the biggest selling points for most people when they are considering purchasing the Iphone. This short blog, once again is not an opinion piece on the new Iphone 6 but a factual comparison on the quality of photos taken using the original first Iphone compared to the current Iphone 6.

Due to the popularity of my previous blog article on the ergonomics of the Iphone 6 and why a stylus would be a good idea for the larger Iphone 6 plus this has encouraged me to do a follow up post. This time on photographs.

Photograph Quality Comparison

Most people would agree that the earlier Iphones took photos which were reasonably good in quality for a handheld device. However, when compared to the latest photos taken using the latest 5 and 6 Iphones they are noticeably inferior.

(ps. Iphone photography tip: You will be surprised at how, dust and grease gets caught onto the tiny lens on an Iphone. Before taking a photo, be sure to wipe down the lens using a micro fiber cloth or any soft cloth and you will get maximum clarity in your photos.
