Not supposed to be true. I have an iPhone 5 that I've had since it was released, and push with Gmail (configured via Exchange on the phone) has always worked. After the iOS 6.1.4 update recently, push stopped working.

Thanks, Massie. Actually, I have a Canon PowerShot SD 780/IS Elph which takes really great pictures indoors, but I think the iPhone beats it for outdoors scenery shots. And as they always say...the best camera in the world is the one you have with you :-) I'm just trying to do a compromise...

@Massie: one other thing I dislike about KitCam (and even sent them feedback about) is the size of text they use in the GUI. I have good vision but have to put drug store glasses on to read the text below the icons.

Actually, these pictures were taken with Camera+ which is my default camera app on the home screen. I have an entire page of other camera app that are all related, including KitCam, but so far Camera+ seems best to me. KitCam is probably second, and might jump into the top slot if I ever take...

I tried to show the ones that were middle-of-the road noise. Here is another taken in the same Studio B with nothing but the ambient lighting (and there was quite a bit of it). Notice the piano keys are just fine on the left under the higher light...but the faces of the people on the right...

Well, I went to the Apple Store this afternoon and got the iPhone 5, so after doing some comparisons (I still have the 4S) I'll post what I find. FWIW, one of the Apple Geniuses at the store was a very knowledgeable photography aficionado, and I feel like he did a really great job explaining...

Thanks, Alli. I've also seen comments such as yours, so I guess my dilemma is really the noise I get on indoor pictures without flash. I'll have to determine whether my iPhone 4S is defective or this is just normal. I know some noise is normal...but what I'm seeing are photos that are almost...

Thanks, Massie. Your photos do show a remarkable difference, especially outdoors at night. Seeing these, and noting your comment about the low-light boost adding a little noise, makes me now think the iPhone 5 might not be any better at all for the problem I'm having, which is noise on indoor...

I currently have an iPhone 4S, and while I obviously use it for all the smartphone features, I take a lot of pictures with it and there is one area in which it doesn't excel...indoors without a flash. I'm a serious photographer and understand the primary reason for the graininess in these...
