X’s Community Notes is a helpful feature that allows users to add fact checks to better inform viewers regarding the posts they read about on the platform. With the internet providing a near-limitless source of knowledge, it can also become a breeding ground of false information, so Community Notes is helpful in some ways. On this occasion, the feature has highlighted a notable tipster’s actions who reportedly took an over-exposed moon shot taken from the iPhone 15 Pro Max in an effort to make the Galaxy S23 Ultra appear superior.
Tipster is most vocal against Samsung and its mobile division, so it is unclear why he would attempt to make the Galaxy S23 Ultra look better when taking moon shots
The iPhone 15 Pro Max and Galaxy S23 Ultra have their respective places in the industry, and in the camera category, no two handsets can process the same image, especially when it comes to taking moon shots. On X, @AnxiousHolly posted a screenshot on the micro-blogging social network, showing the Community Notes feature in action that pointed out that Ice Universe ‘purposefully’ over-exposed the moon shot taken from the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Ice Universe got community noted.

Now, keep in mind that the Community Notes takes facts from other users, but there is no source on how the feature concluded that the moon shot was intentionally over-exposed. Perhaps the individual experiment with the two smartphones before drawing the conclusion. There is also a discussion happening under the same post, where there are a few examples of moon shots captured with the iPhone 15 Pro Max and they look nothing like what Ice Universe posted.
Some people question that I deliberately overexpose the moon photos taken by iPhone 15 pro max, which is a slander. I tried to take a lot of moon photos and tried to manually reduce the brightness many times, but in the process of reducing the brightness, the iPhone was difficult… pic.twitter.com/u73OnswtYk

The tipster has also put out a post above, stating that he has not tried to deliberately over-expose the moon shot using the iPhone 15 Pro Max, but as you would expect, others have posted the same image using Apple’s latest flagship and got a different result. Another twist in the plot was that at the time of writing, the Community Notes got removed, suggesting there could be some truth to what Ice Universe is saying.
The community note is wrong though.
I have a 15 Pro Max and a S21U at home.
The 15 Pro does overexpose the moon by itself.

One user, Fatih, has also corroborated the tipster’s claims, saying that by default, the iPhone 15 Pro Max over-exposes the moon by itself, and it is up to users to make adjustments before capturing. At this point, we leave the moon shot comparison open to interpretation. If you have an iPhone 15 Pro Max, we recommend performing your own moon shot tests and comparing the results accordingly.
