Blurry pics on iPhone 14 Pro Max (iOS 16.0.2)

I should add that I was in 1x for both cameras. Also, the sales guy did acknowledge there was an issue but was if Apple was trying to address it or not in a sw upgrade.

on a positive note the macro function in the camera looks good.

My iPhone 6 Plus has better photos than my 14 pro max which are blurry!

I bought the 14 pro max for dental photography because of its supposedly improved camera but it turns out to be a total disappointment as photos are blurry, undiagnostic and unacceptable. Will Apple let me return the phone and get a refund?

We’re all Apple people here right? 😂 I think it’s safe to say this company does not admit anything is ever wrong 😂 they actually told people they were holding their phones wrong. I wouldn’t hold out for any kind of acknowledgment or accountability. That’s not their strong suit. Hopefully just a future update when the 15 pro comes out with better features. I’m still burned by Apple when I bought an iPad 3 which was a pos. The 4 came out like 4 months later to fix the issues and they never acknowledged anything.

This camera auto focus is annoying. I can’t even scan QR codes half the time because it won’t focus. I went from the XR to the 14 pro max really hoping for an amazing camera and a far superior phone and so far I wish I stuck with my XR longer between the camera issues and the dynamic island randomly jumping around causing pages to scroll up.

Having the same issues. I got a new phone only so that I would have a good camera since I take all of my pictures on my phone, and I am so incredibly disappointed in my 14 pro picture quality. If I do not have strong lighting the pictures are grainy to the point it looks like my old flip phone pictures. Same issue happens when I zoom in. The constant auto focusing is a nightmare and if there is any movement at all I get a blurry picture. If apple can’t fix this they need to offer free trade-ins for all who bought the 14 pro.

Is there nothing that can be done collectively here to force them to acknowledge the issue and guarantee is a fix ? I would be happy to keep hold of my phone if it was being worked on and I knew a fox was coming sooner than later. But if it’s not a priority by Apple then I am afraid the phone will go and I will never buy another

Yes. The magnets in the 14 PM are >>>>stronger than the 13 PM if you watch this video review (which is excellent if you get a working phone - notice his is caseless).

If you skip forward he shows the magnets are strong enough to hold heavy carryon size bag while using scale digital display showing the load.

So could this be a cause ?

thing is if it was then Apple won’t want to know as they would be left with two choices . 1. Replace all phones with new ones with a different magnet 2. replace the camera in every phone

neither of which would be simple or cheap

Question for everyone - Exactly which 14 pro and case do you have?

I have the 14 pro max 512gb, Att, white/silver, NQ8Y3LL/A

Otterbox defender xt clear case for use with MagSafe.

my husband has 14 pro max, 254 go, Att, grey, otterbox defender xt case in black - he has no issues. Side by side our photos do not look like they come from the same phone.

I’ll gladly do the same as you, but sadly there aren’t Apple Stored in my country so i’m stuck with this lame camera until they fix it or i get tired of it and sell it. I’m afraid this will be the last time i buy an Apple product too.

With all due respect to you for all the work you’ve done in this matter, how can this help anyone if it didn’t work for you? And why did you went for all that if the very same iphones they have in the store produce the same awful quality in pics?

Two weeks before my new iphone 14 pro max arrived, my MacBook pro 15" hinge broke. Same hinge broke to my staff's 13" macbook pro. This widespread problem is known as the Flexgate! Apple acknowledged but would only repaired 13" for free but not for 15"(repair quote is more than AU$1000)! So, I was already v upset, then the phone problem.... So definitely yes, I will never buy another Apple product again!

Hoping to buy a pixel 7 instead also.

Same issues with photo quality with my 14 Pro Max (I had the 12Pro, which had great images first take! Now, blurry, and the pixels are horrible. Terrible. I am so sad and frustrated because I take a lot of photos and now, not so much. I hope this is somehow fixable without replacing the phone!
