Quotes from the review of the 4PDA portal:
"The main camera has become 12-megapixel, but its most noticeable difference from its predecessor is improved noise reduction algorithms." Even with low illumination in the room, small details( like the labels on bottle labels in the bar) remain visible and do not clogartifacts, sometimes with a strong increase there is a slight blurring of the boundaries of the object, but the contours are still fairly clear, which simplifies their subsequent processing.
The front camera is much better and betters Retina Flash function: when you take a photo, the screen for a moment brightly flashes pinkish-yellow, performing a special flash function for backlighting the face, which keeps the correct white balance. Something similar was realized a couple of years ago in other smartphones on Android, but alreadyvery few people remember. "
"The camera" learned "to shoot 4K-video, and not for the sake of later viewing on the so far rare 4K-TV, but for the opportunity to increase the required fragment of the record and see all the details."
The result of the camera of the 6th iPhone from 4PDA is: "The camera, if you believe the latest comparative tests and blind polls, is not the most, but you will not be able to reproach the device for the quality of the pictures either."

In the rating of smartphones with the best cameras for 2015, the sixth iPhone is the 4th.
