I can't agree more. IPhone hates moon. I tried so many times on 15 pro max. Lack of focus and exposure control on camera app probably cause it. Also, you may notice it keeps on changing lenses while you try to focus on the moon.

Use a DSLR
How would the moon feel embarrassed?

My 15PM doesn't focus when I'm zoomed in on the moon, anything that can help with this? There should be manual controls for focus distance especially when the hardware is so capable🤷♂️
Looks like a white bulb in a black ceiling.
Tap and hold you’ll then be able to set your exposure. You should get a slider shoe up in the middle of the screen.
Taken tonight on my 14 pro max with focus lock, and lower exposure and only slightly corrected the color a bit using the stock photos app. As someone with poor vision, this is better than my own eyes can see without my glasses 😂
I just focus on the moon and turn down the exposure all the way
I’m going to be the jerk and just say “use a real camera”.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the iPhone, and even as a photographer I use it more than anything else. But moon pictures require a zoom lens. Otherwise you’re just not going to get it right. 200mm focal length plus, and the iPhone 15 pro max’s 5x zoom is only 120mm.
That, and a larger sensor for better low light performance.
There is exposure control when you tap the screen to focus and then swipe up or down to set the exposure
Try moving closer
Nailed it.
Step 1: get an actual camera
The future of the bird inside this egg is so bright that it started glowing
Took this with the app Yamera which gives you actual manual focus control and better exposure controls.
Everyone showing off their iPhone photos, this was an iPhone 15 pro, what am I doing wrong 😭
One I took on my old 13 pro max…I have 2 others but photo reply won’t let me post all 3 in one comment.
I took this on the iPhone 13 Pro. Cropped and then edited in Lightroom mobile
