Why is every picture of the New Jersey drones so bad?
Briefly

Even with all of their computational smarts, phone cameras have limits, especially in challenging lighting conditions like photographing drones at night.
Phone cameras are no better than the human eye in terms of their ability to gather light; their lenses are designed to be basically electronic eyeballs.
Zooming in the dark with a phone camera results in suboptimal photos due to limited zoom capabilities and small sensor sizes.
Every photo of the drones has been grainy and indistinct, reflecting the inadequacies of mobile photography in low-light conditions.
