iPhone 12 Pro Max minimum focus distance is very long
Unlike my previous 11 Pro, my new iPhone 12 Pro Max (IOS 14.2.1) can't focus correctly up close to the object, it requires around double the distance from the object to be able to get the object in focus, compared to the 11 Pro. This is very disappointing and unexpected, it makes it useless for at least 40% of all my photos...
Seems like this is an issue specific to the Max version of the iPhone 12, maybe as a result of different lenses and sensor size. Other non-Max iPhone 12 models seem to focus at minimum distance around 3" (like previous 11 models), whereas the 12 Pro Max seems to focus at minimum distance around 6", which is quite a lot and a bit unusual for a phone.
I've contacted Apple about this to let them know how important this is and how much it affects my daily photos. I suggest other affected users do the same, maybe they can fix this in software (unlikely, probably a physical limitation of the hardware) or take this feedback into account for the next iPhone model and make sure it goes back to "standard" minimum focus distance we're all used to.
