iPhone 11 Front Camera Blurry

Hi guys,


I just got the new Iphone 11 straight from the box, and I noticed that my front camera is blurry. It has the quality of an android. I thought maybe it was only when trying to take pictures within instagram or snapchat, but it is happening in my camera app as well.


Unless I am in a VERY well lit place, the pictures turn out blurred and as if there is a smoothing filter over my face... my 8 plus pictures were better than this..


Will this be fixed with an update? I don't know whether or not to return my phone.... I only have 10 days left to return it.

I just got the iPhone 11 yesterday from the 8. The camera on the 11 is terrible. Considering returning it! Both the front facing camera and the rear are grainy and blurred looking. Like other said, it looks like an android picture. Terrible!

I bought 11 pro max on November 2019 and front camera was blurry ; the phone swapped with new one on December. Again couple of days ago I noticed it happened again and unfortunately the App customer service advices for second change! It’s just hassle as all installed apps and settings needs to be installed again!! Initially at App Store , the service man pointed out that there is a physical problem in front camera of some 11 Pro Max.

I agree. Iphone 11’s front camera looks like Android phones. My old phone was İPhone 7 Plus. I compared them and I saw 7 Plus front camera absolutely better than 11. Apple should support 11 users from software sides. This situation makes me anxious. But for back camera’s night mode okay. Although it offers high fps in videos, the videos does not seem enough smooth.

Why are so many of you comparing your blurry images to your old Android phone! That's pretty much just childish! My iPad Air 2019 takes crappy photos especially in lower light, my Samsung A5 a very inexpensive phone with 16 mp front camera takes great sharp photos. Now I love my iPad except for the camera, and I think the iPhone 11 is a great phone, but it is not immune to tech issues. Probably needs a software update to speed up the camera processing. In the meantime try hold the phone steady for a few seconds after focusing and snapping your photo as suggested in some of the answers in this forum.

same!! i have the 11 and it takes really great pics but when i use snapchat or the camera in general in a dark area or low lighting area, the quality is like an adroid! the camera quality is grainy and fuzzy like!! which is why i use my ringlight or use flash since its trash. what if its cause of night mode? considering its a new feature night mode is blurry, grainy and fuzzy.
