iPhone 12 Pro camera not focusing properly

My iPhone 12 Pro's camera is not focusing properly. It doesn't focus when it is around 8-10 cm away from the object for a close up shot. I will need to move it further away to focus then go back in for the shot.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

Well, I had a nice visit at the Apple Genius Bar today. My iPhone 12 Pro Max’s camera could not focus on fine print at close range - like it had no macro field of focus at all. My Apple Genius ran a diagnostic on my iPhone & that came back with a recommendation to do a FORCE RESTART of the iPhone:

Press & release the volume up button, then press & release the volume down button, then press & hold the power button until the apple logo appears.

Like magic, my iPhone now focuses in closeup macro mode perfectly.
