The iPhone’s built-in HDR is basically useless

Above: Yes, these were taken with the iPhone, but not with the iPhone’s HDR mode. HDR photography is certainly cool, and the idea of Apple adding it to the iPhone’s camera app sounded great on paper, but in practice, it really doesn’t hold a candle to stand alone HDR apps.

I wish I had ever been that excited about anything
