iPhone12 Pro Max AutoFocus Issues

Hi All,

I am from India .I recently purchased iphone 12 pro max .

I am experiencing auto focus issues with the all new touted sensor-shift stabilized camera of the 12 pro max.

The device fails to autofocus in 1x for close up subjects .

This is even more prominent in low light.

We can't really get close to the subject as we do on 11 pro.

Don't know if it's a hardware issue or a bug.Sometimes it doesn't focus at all.

This is really frustrating when you have paid a premium for the latest flagship and out here in India it costs a whooping load of money i.e 13900 INR i.e 1884.40 $

Hope apple comes out with an official statement on this and fixes this.

Following are some screenshots of the same issue



Many people have started complaining on the iphone 12 pro max on youtube as well

Hi Aadhil,

The autofocus issue still persists even after updating to 14.3 version.

Don't know if it's a hardware issue or bug or lidar issue.

Shame on apple for touting it to be the camera king and charging a hefty load of money Rs 139000 i.e 1882.18 US dollars.

Apple should come out with some official statement on this autofocus issue or refund the amount.

Even cheap android phones have better autofocus systems.


Apple in all it's advertisements should mention the following disclaimers before selling it to customers like us.

  1. The iphone 12 PRO MAX is plagued with camera autofocus issues,exposure issues,flickering & lens flare.
  2. We don't ship with a charging brick or earphones.

3.Buy it at your own risk as we charge customers with sky scraping price i.e i.e 1882.18 US dollars

Guys,

Even I had a chat with the customer support that ran a remote diagnostics on my phone and said everything was fine

& asked me for picture samples of lighted and dark environments which I sent.

That amounted to nothing as I didn't get a replacement unit


These top tier companies like apple have started cheating commoners like us.

Really frustrated.

If any other iphone 12 pro max user is also experiencing the same,please reply
