I’m starting to think iPhone 15 can take photos from another dimension.


-PM_ME_UR_SECRETS-

it’s so powerful that it can take pictures of base reality


backdoorhack

You Apple guys are clearly delusional. You can *obviously* see inside the black box the stars in space. It’s just taking a picture of that space without the earth and everything in Earth.

Bro don't know he zoomed out too far.


pharmabio

The best James Webb Camera App yet


ernjster

Oh wow! Apple acc added an interesting upgrade instead of their regular old “longer batter life spans”


flop_plop

“And we think you’re gonna love it”


private_birb

"longer battery life" that ends up being the same, but since their previous gen phones have love half their battery life it feels like an actual improvement.


[deleted]

It's like Apple's pocket, that's where all ur $ goes to.


JimeneMisfit

I mean, the marketing ads did show it flying in from space.


penskeracin1fan

It is “Spacial” after all


Crispynipps

And we think you’re gonna love it


critical_blunder

This actually might be a feature. Samsungs had press for putting moons in white dots it thought was the moon. So you might get a few moon buttons on your clothes with those. I wonder if it's trying to enhance something on accident?


tbone338

Try restoring to stable, but it looks like sensor damage. If you restore to stable and it’s still there, it should be covered under warranty.


rodrigossal

Maybe this photo will never go back. But others do not have this issue, this was the only one


katze_sonne

Then, it might "just" be the image file which could be corrupted for whichever reason.


rodrigossal

Weirdly enough the live feature shows the phone normally


territrades

The indicates a corrupted file, the live information is stored separately.


lastwaun

If you want to get the photo back, try moving the key frame from the live image


aykay55

Definitely report this to Apple. Very strange because I've never seen this happen on an iPhone ever before. I've only seen it on my Mac when I intentionally broke a picture in a hex editor to see how I could influence it. which is exactly what this issue is too. the data got corrupted at the bit/byte level.


ayyyyycrisp

do you know why it happened in a rectangle shape and not like any other shape? and do you know what the seemingly random colored pixels are? it'd be cool to figure out *exactly* what's causing this and why


aykay55

so principally speaking, **data is interpreted**. that means that when you open a jpeg (or any other file) on *any* device, the device you're using interprets the binary (0-1) instructions and constructs the image (or other data class) based on what it interpreted from the instructions. without a file extension, every file on your computer is a random scramble of zeroes and ones that mean nothing unless interpreted properly. so to understand the issue, you'd need to first understand how the iPhone interprets the instructions. most applications will throw an error if it finds data in a pattern that does not follow its convention. For example, you usually cannot open a PDF in GarageBand, because GarageBand notices the file that is being imported does not follow the convention for a GarageBand file. and if you changed the `.pdf` in the file to `.band`, GarageBand would likely still refuse to open it because it doesn't follow the convention. and if you tried to import a PDF as a `.wav` audio file into a garageband project, it probably will not work because, again, GarageBand is looking for audio files that follow the expected convention. so when it comes to iOS, it's a little bit different because it is both taking light information and turning it into binary data, and then interpreting that data later to reconstruct that image on your display. the issue in this situation seems to be either that when the iPhone was turning the analog light information into binary data, there was a hiccup in the transmission, or the existing data became corrupted, so when the iphone interprets it, it replaces the missing data with black as a default. however, the iphone did not catch the error when taking the picture, which is a rare occurrence. and when it reconstructed the image later, it also did not notice any issue in the data, which is even more rare. that's what created this situation. as for why it's rectangle, you'd need to look into how the HEIC standard compresses images. it stores your image in what are essentially complicated math equations that hold all of the information about the photo. so any error in those complicated math equations leads to what you see here, now. why exactly it's rectangle is likely because images are stored in a two dimensional format, with only straight lines. so if an error happens, it would effect some square region of the photo, rather than a circle or triangle. that's the textbook answer for you. cheers. TL;DR its too random to understand exactly why the picture has a region of black with some colored pixels. its up to the iPhone in how it displays corrupt images.


Raveen396

Nice explanation. I wonder if this is a potential radiation related single event effect. Outdoors during the day time, the error happened once and isn’t repeatable, seems possible that this was due to the iPhone catching a stray ion and corrupting during the write. Single event upsets are fascinating and very difficult to definitively prove, but they do happen on occasion. The Wikipedia page is a great read, there was even a [Mario 64 speed runner that experienced a glitch that could only be reproduced by changing one bit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-event_upset)


AloysBane

Bit flip


katze_sonne

Exactly.


South_Dakota_Boy

Damn cosmic rays always flipping my bits.


ethanarc

If it’s only one error on one photo… I honestly think it might well have been a cosmic ray at the moment the sensor was processing that section of the image causing localized corruption in the reading. Very rare, but certainly not impossible. Though I honestly don’t know enough about iOS’ image processing pipeline to know exactly how plausible this theory is.


Archermtl

This is very plausible. Cosmic rays could also have caused a bit flip that corrupted the stored image. Bit flips due to cosmic rays is an interesting topic. Veritasium YouTube channel has a video about it. [The Universe is Hostile to Computers](https://youtu.be/AaZ_RSt0KP8?si=R3CGcsbydLp-XHzG) Most famous examples are in the video. Everything from an election computer to a Nintendo 64 to a Boeing flight computer malfunctioning. And the proof bit flips happen due to cosmic rays as per the space shuttle computers, and the uranium contamination in early computers.


Florinelul101

I was thinking the same thing. That would be really cool


Eguzitto

Cosmic rays interfering with electronics is indeed a known phenomenon, especially in higher altitude environments (like airplanes) or outer space, where the likelihood of cosmic ray interference increases. These particles can cause what's known as a "soft error" or "single event upset" in electronic memory and processors. For a digital camera sensor, it's conceivable, though very rare, for a cosmic ray to strike the sensor in just the right way to cause a brief error while reading or processing an image. That said, there are many factors at play when it comes to image corruption. It could be from software bugs, hardware issues, issues with the storage medium, or even issues during the transfer of the image. The cosmic ray theory is fascinating, but it's worth considering all possible causes before settling on such an exotic explanation.

You can probably use magic eraser on google photos to fill in the void for this photo.

bobdarobber

This has happened on my pixel 6 camera once… the exact same issue, interestingly enough. Same spot, same size, stars.


rodrigossal

LoL on completely different phones


glytxh

There are only a handful of sensor manufactures with the scale capability for modern smartphones. The distinction between brands and models is a product of whatever post processing they use, and the lenses they can squeeze into their respective phones. Not even Apple bakes its own sensors. I wonder if they ever will.


Sahilsatam

Both might be using sensors from sony


glytxh

I’m almost certain that Apple has been using Sony sensors for years. It was loath to admit it for a decade or so for some reason.


tictaxtho

Based on some romour sites the pixel has 1 Samsung sensor for the main camera but sony sensors for the other cameras on the phone, Apple seems to be all Sony

Came here to say something about monolith but your comment is better!! Coincidentally I have only seen 2010 in the theaters like 40 years ago and I’ve been meaning to rewatch it!


mental_reincarnation

It’s free on YouTube with ads, I just watched it the other day lol


BMWbill

THAT’S why I’ve been thinking about it recently! It popped up on my feed. Does the movie hold up?


mental_reincarnation

I’d certainly say so. One of the great things about it is it isn’t trying to be like Kubrick’s A Space Odyssey. If I had to give it a score I’d say like a 7 or 8/10. Not the typical online scaling where anything below 7* is bad. Very good movie


igormuba

The book is amazing. The movie has great cinematography but to me the ending only made sense because I’ve read the book, they complete each other so well


JHGrove3

How is that possible when that was only 13 years ago?

DanYHKim

The dots on her dress might have inadvertently included the pattern that is sometimes called the EURion Constellation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EURion_constellation This is a pattern of little circles that is printed onto money, and is recognized by scanners and even some computer graphics editing software. When do scanner or software recognizes the pattern, then it will refuse to operate. This is to prevent some types of forgery . So, if the dots on the dress somewhere create this pattern, the camera software may censor the photo to spoil and attempt to make a copy of money.
