【Writer's Bullpen (2009)】

Beauty is Writer's Bullpen (2009)in the eye of the iPhone beholder.

Apple is fixing a bug in its smart front camera system that made for unnaturally filtered-looking selfies. Apple confirmed to The Verge that the phenomenon some iPhone users dubbed "Beautygate" was indeed a thing, and not the imagination of paranoid selfie-takers.

Beautygate was not the work of a filter. Apparently, the dynamic camera system was using a less detailed base frame for its composite images. That loss of detail is what gave the appearance of a smoothing filter.

Apple will release an update for the issue in iOS 12.1.

This latest issue with iOS 12 comes after an embarrassing bug that resulted in users sending text messages to the wrong freaking contacts — which was confusing at best and friendship-ruining if you're prone to gossip via SMS. It also recently fixed several issues affecting WiFi and charging.

Third time's the charm?
