iPhone 12 pro max poor quality photos and videos

Please help!! I just got the new iPhone 12 pro max but so disappointed because the video is poor quality when I post it on my Instagram stories and Facebook stories. It looks clear on my photo app but it’s showing blurry on both stories. I already turn off the HDR on setting so that’s not the problem. I bought the iPhone knowing I’ll have the best pic quality but now I regret it and sad I want to buy an old iphone so I could achieve the clear quality I used to have. Any suggestions to help fix this problem?

My iPhone 12 Pro takes absolutely terrible photos. I’m extremely disappointed. Every photo, no matter the lighting, comes out blurry. Portrait mode is completely unusable. I only used the portrait mode on my iPhone X. Now it’s not even an option for me. Absolutely terrible.

I have the same problem. My pics on my 7 iPhone were great. These won’t transfer to Shutterfly without being distorted.

They’re terrible. I think I’m going to return and wait for 13 to come out

Lol man fr I’m like wtf is this?!!! Obviously if all of us are having the same issue, THEY made a big mistake with most of their manufactured phones. The camera is f***** up.

Thats a 12MP camera for you unfortunately, the Iphone 13 will have the camera most of us expected on the 12

I think my XS had a 12 MP camera but the pics were the best. I don’t know what this 12 pro max is on :(. I’m mad as **** at Apple for this. They could’ve waited to just release the 13.

I feel this is an issue with FB and Instagram, not your iPhone 12. The app automatically reduces quality when uploading. There’s sadly nothing Apple can do to help with that.

***?!!!! Apple is crazy as **** for telling you some BS like that omg. This is by far the worst phone they’ve made so far.
