You don’t have to be a professional photographer to notice that the flash on the iPhone X and above creates an undesirable red eye effect, which actually makes people look haunted. It’s caused by the proximity of the flash to the lens, which are simply too close together. That sparkle in your eye is the light reflecting from the flash directly off of your eye and back to the camera. In my opinion, it’s a design flaw that I’m surprised wasn’t addressed with the iPhone XS. The problem is easily fixed by getting the flash off the camera, and after searching for over two years, I just stumbled across this new slimmed down version of the original Lume Cube. I’ve been using it a bunch, especially out at night–we used it the whole night on New Year’s Eve. We will be posting those looks soon so look out for a NYE in NYC recap.
