Poor iPhone 11 camera quality or photos app bug?

So I'm on my second iPhone 11. The first took some very dull photos that looked as though they were airbrushed. I swapped it out and long behold, this guy is no different. Here's what I noticed though. If I open a new photo I take, it's very dull and blurry. If I zoom in and back out on that very same photo, it clears up and looks fantastic. All new photos I take do this. I'll post some examples of my yard I took. I've seen various threads from people talking about awful quality from their cameras and am beginning to wonder if its solely software related. I also have an XR with the same O.S build installed and it does the EXACT same thing. Blurry initial photos, but clear up when zoomed in and out.

All photos so yellow, I have the iPhone 11 Pro. I’m using it like three months now And I don’t even wanna make photos anymore. Is there a solution, or how can I get my money back. All my previous iPhones always had an amazing camera. Such a big disappointment, I’m really sick of it.

I still haven't found a solution - the camera quality just seems terrible. I have friends with Huawei phones etc and quality doesn't degrade

No, sometimes when I zoom in just after taking the pic it adjusts the quality but not all the time. The front selfie camera is terrible

This works sometimes but I'm not buying a phone that needs to be "zoomed into" on every pic for better quality - when the person next to me with a Samsung or Huawei just takes a pic

I changed the view mode from Zoomed In to Standard and apparently the problem is solved. I had the same issue on my iPhone 11, now it's gone!

I agree, and it’s terrible. I compared it to an Samsung Galaxy A30 and the camera was actually very significantly better on the Samsung galaxy a30. Is there a fix?

I have the same issue. Its so frustrating.

As long as we see good photos while zooming, I guess it means its not a camera problem.

Anyone found a sollution for this?

The camera on the iPhone 11 sucks

I have the same problem. Before update my iPhone 11 to iOS 14, pictures were great, now are really bad quality. Blurry and noisy and many points in the photo with no detail.
