Amaya Toman In addition to a number of other innovations, the iPhone XS also offers an improved front camera. This should help its owners to take even better self-portraits. However, according to some new owners, as well as users on Internet discussion forums, the selfies from the iPhone XS may be too good.
Finding all kinds of bugs and creating more or less serious affairs in connection with newly released iPhones has become quite a popular sport in certain circles in recent years. The quite curious Beautygate has recently been added to the various gate-affairs.
Users on Reddit are widely debating whether Apple accidentally adds a filter to the pictures taken by the front-facing camera of the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max without users' knowledge, which makes their self-portraits look even prettier than they actually are. As evidence, some of them are posting collages made up of selfies from the iPhone XS and a self-portrait taken by one of the older models. In the pictures, you can clearly see the difference in the imperfections of the skin as well as in its overall shade and brightness.
According to some users, the "beautification" may be due to the way the camera of the new apple smartphone handles warmer color shades. Some attribute this phenomenon to smarter HDR. Lewis Hilsenteger of the famous YouTube channel also paused over the capabilities of the front camera of the iPhone XS Unbox Therapy. Off camera, he commented on his skin tone and how he looks "more alive and less zombie-like."
The improved front-facing camera on the new iPhones is Apple's answer to complaints about the performance of the front-facing cameras in low-light conditions. Among other things, the removal of digital noise results in a certain softening of the photo, and thus also the impression of a beautifying effect. Let's be surprised if Apple listens to the complaint about the Beautygate affair and fixes the problem of excessive beauty of its users in one of the next iOS updates.
