Poor iPhone 11 camera quality or photos app bug?

My XR didn’t take the best pictures, and I was so disappointed. Number 1 selling point

was that Apple 11 took fabulous pictures...

NOT. $&@$)&

If that is the number 1 selling point , one should go back to using the Brownie Camera

what was made by Kodak in the 1960’s

I have the same issue, Apple needs to be sued for false advertisement. The video and photo quality SUCKS. If you want a device to take good pictures don’t get the iPhone spend the money on a good camera, I should of kept my iPhone 7Plus until something better “If” comes out.

I’m having the same problem as well, it’s funny how Apple always brags about how you can take close-up pictures with their cameras on their phone, with all the fine detail, but the second you get within 12 inches of an object, it gets blurry and it will never focus and become clear. I don’t know what is going on with Apple lately, but unfortunately, the products are becoming nothing but junk and as a lifelong Apple user, I’m going to start looking at other products, Steve job would be rolling over in his grave if he saw what is going on now with what he created. It is so sad. This is ridiculous.

I just got the iPhone 11 and the from camera is so bad that it look like It had a filter on it’s so light . My older phone that upgraded even took better front camera pictures but it’s so light and blurry that I have scar on my cheek and it’s noticeable and with the front camera You can’t even see it I was so disappointed

Mine photo quality is also horrible. I originally bought the 11 max pro, and returned it within the week. My sunrise photos had a green tinge. Then I got the basic 11. Omg ... this photo quality is awful too. I too sunrise photos for the past 6 years almost every day with my previous iPhones. Now,I don’t even take sunrise photos anymore. So depressing. Who can I talk to you about fixing this or getting my money back? Oh, and causing my depression!

The same! I noticed that also photos becoming crispy in edit mode. Then you go back to photos and it’s blurry again. I took some photos and then updated to ios14 and noticed that before that update photos were okay. Maybe this is because of ios14.

11 Pro Max here. I don’t seem to have this issue with blurry photos that gets fixed after zooming in and out but I do think that generally speaking camera quality is garbage. When in 100% zoom on the photo there is next to no details, everything is jaggy and distorted. Even using the “best” 1x lens. Don’t get me started on that super wide 0.5x because that thing is plain and simple unusable. I didn’t buy the phone for the camera (I have a Nikon D7100 for photo needs) but I DID hoped for an upgrade over my iPhone 7 Plus for some quick random snaps when I don’t have my camera either me or I can’t be bothered with getting it and taking an actual photo.

Bought the XS Max .. an upgrade from a 6plus!

noticed pics were not as good as 6plus. Selfies were horrible! Red eye you couldn’t fix! Front and rear camera is horrible!! Didn’t happen with the 6. Traded for 11 Max pro. Same old thing. Apple you should be ashamed for selling us this junk! The improvements you talk about are worthless. How about listening to the buyers and fix this camera problem!!

SAME! i got my iphone 11 today and i hate the camera quality i was so excited cause everyone i know who’s got one loves it but mine is so blurry and just looks airbrushed i’m really not a big fan:( mega disappointed cause it was a lot of money

Are you using iCloud Photos and optimise storage? Zooming in is forcing the download of the full resolution photo from iCloud; without zooming you may just be seeing the low resolution, optimised preview. The more photos you are having on your iPhone, the more photos will get optimised, if your iPhone does not have much free storage.

thank you for your response!

I have 40 gb free storage and I dont use iCloud for photos. It is a little bit strange since I ve also tried changing the formats to most compatible..

I dont have the problem if I take the photo on 16:9.

Me too. I am highly disappointed with latest iphone photo ability. Live mode and calibration time is a way too long so you miss the capturing a wonderful photo or it’s blurry and moment is wasted our live and memories ruined. Pointage: 2/10

iPhone XS Max photos are not good. It’s sad when a 6 made better pictures. Also there’s a 7 second delay on video audio... if I take it off stereo it’s ok ... what??? I hope Apple gets their act together or my next phone will not be an iPhone!

it is visible that apple is having lack of quality. each years passing it gets worse, and this is a strategy that all the big companies are following: decrease the quality of the product and increase the price. my girlfriend bought her iphone 11 and i was disappointed by her. the images with the iphone 11 are shame. has a beautifying effect that removes all texture and fine details from the image. the ultra wide camera is much worse. the videos, the same thing. my iphone 7 is better. that's why apple has been losing customers to android and xiomi.

I don’t know what is going on with the newer phones but it’s really sad when the iPhone 6 and 7 made better photos. I will not buy another Apple phone. I hate my 11. I hated the one before the 11... gave it another try. Not only does the camera suck but if I get a call and have to put it to my ear well I can barely hear anything. My husbands 6 is great!!!

fix the camera. If it won’t make a good selfie then it’s not a good Phone and I’m switching!
