My iPhone 13 camera is not focusing properly. It doesn't focus when it is around 8-10 cm away from the object for a close up shot. Is everybody with an iPhone 13 experiencing this problem? I went to my local store which diagnosed my device and they said that there is no problem. But I am very suspicious. So does anybody else have this problem? Can anybody confirm this problem?
But how is an iPhone 6 able to take a closeup picture 8-20 cm away, while an iPhone 13 isn’t? Taking picture from close range is something every phone should be familiar of doing? So am I supposed to pay 200 extra dollars to get a phone that can do the same thing as an iPhone 6. Why didn’t apple mention this when they were representing the new iPhone 13?
I read in documentation that focus diastase in iPhone 13 and 13 mini is 26mm. So it must makes close photos too

It’s the design of the optical system.
Apple doesn’t specify a minimum focus distance for the iPhone 13, so it’s not a defect.
It doesn't fit your use case, and not every device will be perfect for everyone.
If you've had your 13 Mini 14 days or less you may be able to return it for a full refund.
Then sell your iPhone 13 and use the money to purchase something else.
It's clear you won't be happy with it.
Apple doesn’t specify that information.
Agreed. Some people here seem to be fiercely defending Apple's decision on not including what was capable by older modules in their new line.
My iPhone 13 will not take a close up picture
Read the posts here and you will see the iPhone 13 (not Pro) will not focus closer than about 3.5 - 4” away from an object.
This is normal and by design.
I think those of us with an iphone 13 thought we could at least get a better photo then we did on our 8 plus and Se. I don't need a macro photos.
I agree with you. I'm thinking myself on switching back to my old iPhone XR.
Under most circumstances, you will see better results from your 13.
Of course not everyone will agree, and in that case you're certainly free to go with a different device.
Have the exact same problem on my iPhone 13. Doesn’t want to focus and make a close up
That's because it won't, it was designed that way.
iPhone 13 cannot take closeup photos of less than 6 inches, so there is nothing you can do to change that. iPhone 13 Pro does have the hardware to take closeup photos closer than 6 inches.
No kidding! I think that is the big issue here for people.
iPhone 13 camera not focusing when capturing a photo 8-10 cm away
