You Guys,


  1. Clean your device's camera glass with optics cleaning liquid
  2. Try to click an image placing your device with a support to it holding study
  3. See if the image is still blurry

Just got the iPhone 12 Pro last week. I also noticed the blurry photos. After I take the photos and go to look at it, it takes a second to go from blurry to clear and I have no idea how to fix it. I noticed it only happens when I turn Live Photo on. If I turn it off it doesn’t buffer.


I compared cameras with my iPhone XS Max. Xs max quality is WAY WAY better. I regret getting the iPhone 12

I am in the same boat! The worst part is that I saved up for the 256 GB version and it is the most disappointing purchase I have ever made. I could have purchased a new Canon Rebel T7 for what I paid.


The only way to stop the blurriness that I have found is to adjust the auto focus /auto lighting to zero before you snap any pic. This of course takes away the ability to shoot a quick spontaneous capture.

Whatever I try, as soosn as I enlarge a photo I can see the blurr.

Unfortunately I had been influenced by the powerful Apple advertising

and the Youtube influencers most likely encouraged by Apple. I will try

to swap this smartphone for technical reasons, but I'm afraid to be told

that the device is normal. I can see a lot of iPhone 12 Pro Max on

resale websites witch is kind of strange for a best of the best iPhone.

And I'm stuck for two years with a contract from my cell provider. Take

your time for the next cell phone purchase !
