IPhone 11Camera reflection and flare

I bought my first iPhone and I see many flares and reflections. I owned a Samsung note

4 and had this issue. I wanted to swich

to iPhone due to battery issues with my Samsung but I’m upset about the camera.

The portraits have a blurring around them that looks totally fake and the camera

has many other issues like not focusing or not having sharpness.

When I zoom ino the photos they look pixelated. I bought it because the revues say its the best camera phone!

Its my phone or this is the iPhone standard quality?

iPhone 14 Pro Camera Issues I have owned an iPhone 14 Pro for a couple months and have loved it. But it seems like there’s an issue with the camera. The lens flare from lights on our Christmas tree ruins photos that I take on my phone. But when I take a photo with my sisters iPhone 12 mini there is no flare. Can someone explain why a two year old base model phone is taking photos that appear WAY better than the newly released high end iPhone 14 Pro? Or give me a solution to this aggravating problem? Thanks!

Why is the iPhone 11 “selfie” camera so horrible and grainy? I recently got an iPhone 11 for Christmas to replace my iPhone 8. I was so excited with the amazing quality of the back camera, but the front facing camera is horrible quality! When it doesn’t look grainy it makes me look either really pale or the colors are weirdly saturated. I compared it with someone’s iPhone 12 and there’s a noticeable difference. The 12 looks very clear and I did not notice any grain, or any issues with saturation. We held them next to each other and took the same selfie and the quality on my iPhone 11 made me look horrible compared to the 12! (Both photos were taken in the same lighting!) I know others are experiencing this but I’m not sure whether it’s worth it to pay an extra $200 for good camera quality or if Apple is working on fixing it? Just odd that such an expensive phone has worse quality than older versions.

Light flare and reflection on iPhone 13 camera I can see a lot of flaring while using my front camera which ruins the quality of photos and videos. Back camera is still working comparatively fine. Is this a defect?
