    Video demonstrating the issue, and differences between the X, iPhone 6, and current models for those who missed the post earlier in the thread. it's really a very good comparison and completely dismisses that "out of focus is the problem" claim that some are using. I doubt it's anything that can't be fixed with a software update.

    Thanks for describing the full video. It's reassuring to know that the video's popularity wasn't just based on people complaining about the skin smoothing feature.

    Clearly, there is a polar difference between east and west culture.

    In Asia (China, Korea, Japan, Thailand, etc), Huawei, Oppo, and other Chinese brands implemented beauty filters and users just buy their phone over iPhone out of this reason only: it takes their photos more beautiful.

    So I'm surprised that anyone at all complains about this filter.

    That is genuinely hilarious. Although a little skin smoothing on the front camera seems like a good thing to me, I'm glad Apple isn't over-doing it.

    However, it now appears that this issue is related to Apple's noise reduction algorithms, not directly targeting skin. (In case anyone still cares about this.)
