iPhone 14 pro max Poor camera performance

Purchase iPhone 14 pro max 512 GB three weeks back, noticed very dull & poor photo quality (attached images for reference) and video gets blurred while shoot... out of focus issue constant.


Very disappointed after paying huge money for the iPhone


What is the solution?

So what can be done about its sub-par camera performance? I’ve replaced the phone for another 14 pro max and that did not fix the major issue with this camera. Low light is horrible, so much noise. Focusing issues are irritating, I have to move the phone closer and further away in addition to zooming to find a sweet spot. The images are dull, grainy and lack the crisp clarity other competitors have been delivering way before!!! This is aggravating!

So I am also having camera issues. Mine comes with artificial lighting. In sunlight, my video & photo quality is fantastic, mostly. But in artificial light, I get (and this is the only way I know how to describe it) lines or shadows running vertically across my screen from left to right. It looks terrible. I am a content creator and use my phone to take videos and photos, so this is extremely inconvenient… especially since I have a day job and often don’t have a chance to film in natural lighting.

I have the promax and I don’t think the cameras very good at night at all like trying to take the moon I had better luck with my 11 believe it or not with night vision…

I see much better camera photos from ones like the Google pixel and especially the Samsung 23 takes excellent moonshot.. I stuck with the Apple camera and it’s not worth a **** at night shut the daytime stuff comes out they spent most cameras can take daytime pictures without screwing them up.. kind of disappointed in the telephoto lens didn’t do such a hot job🤷‍♂️

I am glad on one level to hear I am not the only one with bad camera performance. Compared to my old phone it seems to take 3-5 seconds to “wake up” and be ready to take pictures. Also have problem with selecting focus areas and very blurry images. Missed a lot of photos I would have easily got with my 11 max. Very disappointed with the camera still after 5 months.
