Updated to the RC and the issue is still there so suffice to say Apple will not fix it before the final release and this appears to be a serious quality control failure on their part.

@Frameworks Engineer In light of the incoming public release, do you know if Apple is intending to fix this? I’d consider it a serious oversight if they released the OS to the public with a software processing bug like this. I’ve updated the feedback to also note that it affects the telephoto camera as well and seems to relate to processing of noise and/or digital zoom.

Here are the feedback numbers/IDs as requested: FB10733348 1st August 2022 FB11261726 15th August 2022 FB11367367 25th August 2022 FB11430163 1st September 2022 I have also posted updates to all of these where I’ve discovered workarounds etc. The issue does not occur on iOS 15 and only occurs when photos are taken using the default camera app. Surprisingly, this only happens with macro mode on the 13 pro. See attached screenshot where I have circled the issues shown on images post processing.

Have you experienced this issue on your device?

Yep. I filed a big report using the feedback app on the first beta and updates to that on each successive beta. Filed a new report on the most recent beta so I’m not sure if it’s just that no one else is experiencing/spotting the bug or it’s just being missed. Looks like a software issue with iOS 16 specifically so I’m surprised no one has picked up on it.
