Camera on IPhone 12 Pro Max not focusing

Hello, I’m having an issue with my brand new phone not focusing on close up shots. I’ve tried countless things to see if maybe it’s just me but I can’t seem to fix the problem. I’ve tried to manually focus by tapping the screen, I’ve tried changing some camera setting and even tried to reset the phone. Regardless it seems as if the phone is having trouble with taking shots from a 10 inch distance which is weird considering my IPhone XS works perfectly fine.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

HARDWARE ISSUE NOT SOFTWARE THERE WILL BE NO FIX.


Hi guys I see a lot of people here hoping for a software fix. I’ve spoken with engineers at Apple they have advised me that it’s a limitation of the camera system due to the larger lens. There will be no fix for this. No software update will fix it. Apple have said if you aren’t happy with the camera you can return your iPhone for a refund.
