My brand new iPhone 14 Pro Max’s camera is blurry whenever attempting to take close up pictures in 3rd party apps like Amazon, Target, Walmart (ie barcode scans). Phone is brand new out the box, updated to latest iOS (16.0.2), and have reinstalled the apps.
Anyone else with this issue?

iPhone 14 Pro Max
All I can say is I've had iPhones for over 10 years and I've never had the issues with the camera, both native and third-party apps and accessing the camera as I've had now with the new iPhone 14 Pro. Look at the picture attached. I made it this morning using the native camera unfortunately due to the focal distance, the iPhone could not figure out which camera to use and kept switching back-and-forth and ended up with a blurry picture. That is an issue with the iOS that did not exist before this version of the iPhone. I am seriously considering going back to an iPhone 13 as the issues did not exist with that phone.
As stated before, this was never an issue with my iPhone 12 Pro or 13 Pro. This has only become an issue with my iPhone 14 Pro.
Then you were lucky; there were similar complaints in multiple fora about the iPhone 13 and iPhone 12 before it.
Only had this with 14 pro max all previous models no issue. I don’t think it was luck
I’m having this problem also, has anyone found a solution?
there is no fix, I have returned my phone and will hope the 15 resolves the issue. I have returned to my old 12 which is absolutely fine.
Why do I need to use macro mode to take a close up photo on a $1200 phone? That’s silly my old iPhone had an amazing camera and macro mode was not necessary
12/8: still no resolution or update of this issue.
I have the same problem scanning barcode on the weight watchers app iPhone 14 pro very burry
Thank you
How about now? No one try to fix this issue?
This approach only works for big-enough QR codes. If you have a small code to scan, it’s impossible. I‘ve tried that recently, no chance.
I have scanned codes as small as 1/2” square with no issues.
It’s just a matter of getting far enough away.
Why doesn’t Apple just come out and say yes we know, working on it, bear with us? Or is it not fixable and the number of recalls would be horrific?
Again, this is a known issue with Apple. They are actively working to resolve. I’m not sure where there is so much back and forth on this topic.
Listen, by all means, if you want to waste your breath replying to the hundreds of users here confirming they have the same issue: go ahead. It’s your time.
