Apple to fix the front camera of the iPhone XS duo with iOS 12.1

23 October 2018
As previously revealed it's not a beautification filter, but rather Smart HDR that's messing with your selfies.

If you want beautify effects, just install apps and do it all by yourself. Oppo high sales volume?? Really?? If you say Huawei or Xiaomi, I will believe. But Oppo?? LOL!

In many countries in East and Southeast Asia, people love to use these beauty filters with their selfie cameras. That's one of the reasons why brands like Oppo and Vivo have high sales in these countries.

      Never hear anything about problems with Note 8 you said. And with other android problems you described.
      Only thing i know is Samsung same as apple confirmed the slow down the older devices va updates.
      But to your credit i like Samsung as much as Apple.
      For past 10 years had many china made phones such as Lenovo Motorola Xiaomi or Huawei and was more than satisfied.
      They cost much less but works like a fresh new Bentley or Buggatti.
      No problems.
      Samsung or apple maybe are top brands in case of sales but in case of quality of the products and way the company deals with problemms errors bugs and how they fix them they are last on the track.

        Here is one recent one:

        https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/ewanspence/2018/10/01/samsung-galaxy-note-9-s-pen-stylus-fragile-broken-problem/amp/


        And this one is on the Samsung forums:

        If your thinking of buying then it's best to wait a little and see if samsung address this issue but it's been an issue since launch and samsung havnt done anything about it yet

          Actually no I haven't heard about this, so please provide a link from a reputable source.
          If I bought this unit in the U.K. for £849, I can return it within in a month if I'm not entirely satisfied, and a 2 year warranty if I decide to keep it.

U havnt heard the note 9 s pen doesn't connect with the phone for many users since launch and samsung still havnt fixed it?? Don't u think that's bad for a 1,000 phone selling a big feature such as s pen which doesn't work??
            And u come here shouting apple this apple that when u don't look at ur own brands and what is happening? Some people are hilarious and need help :D
            Even last year's note 8 has an on going problem not letting alot of users charge the phone through the charging port and they are forced to use a charging mat only Bcuz the phone incorrectly detects moist in the charging port! It's too funny but fandroids always complain about apple instead. It's too funny :D

Like the clamor for bigger screens which took Apple almost forever to give in. And the dual sim which has materialized only now. What's next? Bigger batteries? Apple will have 4000mAh batteries in 2020.

                      Beauty of iOS and Apple. Problem found, solved, distributed via update, everyone gets it.

                      Android should move towards this model, and Pixel is a good example.

                        These beautify filters are terrible.

                          Nah, just admit it Apple, you added that beauty filter to cater to Asian markets who love to use these kinds of filters in selfie cameras like what Huawei, Oppo and Vivo do to their phones.

                                      Strong and well thought “words” can tell it to use the non-broken leg to hop forward. People in front end knows nothing, just that it has work as before.

                                      Space satellite and machines hardwares fails as well, It is software that allows it to go beyond its limits.

                                        Finally, proof that beauty-gate is real. Stiill, as with all liars, Apple calls it 'unintentional' smoothening and blurring/loss of facial details due to lower ISO, 'motion blur' and HDR processing. Really, Apple? An aggressive noise reduction and tone mapping happening only when a face is detected in the scene? Who are you fooling? Liar!
