Hi zhoukerrr,

I have the same problem with my new iPhone 13 mini. Today I compared close up fotos with my iPad and the iPhone’s picture quality is way worse…

with googling I found another post regarding this in the Apple community:

iPhone 13 camera not focusing on close ob… - Apple Community

Unfortunately, the suggested tip from Eric~F did not help in my case.

Are there any further ideas?

If I zoom out a bit to 0.9 and the phone uses the ultra wide angle lense, the close up images look very good. However, when I switch back to 1.0 and the wide angle camera the quality gets very bad again.

I'll post here the same as I posted on the referred page as this is to me an egregious omission.

I've got the same issue and it seems they've removed the close up functionality of the camera. I had it on my iPhone 6 which was the latest phone I had since we don't have $ to upgrade that often. Typing this on a 13" Macbook Pro 2009!

The only thing I found so far is the app Halide which might get back the closeup function, BUT it costs $50 to buy it lol. Thanks Apple. This is sooooo bad.
