iPhone 14 pro max Poor camera performance

Same issue. I want my iPhone 11 Pro back. Better quality on videos. Upgraded and spent money on crappy performance. If apple doesn’t fix this I may just go back to a Samsung phone. My business relies on video clips. iPhone 14 pro max video quality sucks. I have to retake footage multiple times to get a decent video.

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🤷‍♂️

My cinematic videos are awesome and as were expected but when I switch to normal video capturing the colours are poor many of the times and the brightness low. I was taking a video with my 14 pro 256 and my wife's non-pro 14 model and the difference was massive.... Definitely an issue with the pro cameras. Either software or hardware...

Considering that the cinematic videos have great colours and brightness I believe it might be a software issue.. I doubt if it will be investigated though as there has be no announcement by Apple or a response here.

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.

I have the same issue as my iPhone 14 Pro Max camera photos are very poor in quality. Even worse than low end Samsung phone. I should have checked this before buying the camera. Is Apple going to give any solution for this - from QLd, Australia

Given how much software is now a part of the camera hardware, I'd hope there is an easier fix available. I think trying to be too fancy with "features" on a camera is not what most people want. High resolution, good quality and above all reliability is what I want in a camera on my phone.

The sad part is that my iPhone XSMax (that I traded up from) was by far a much more reliable camera. I know "reliability" updates are not what sells a camera but they make existing customers very, very happy.

I’m having the same blurry video issue but am wondering if it has anything to do with the screen protector I have over the three lenses. I haven’t tried taking it off because it takes some effort to get it off and put it back on.

We are on vacation in Europe and 14 Pro Max has ruined it. Videos become blurry and out of focus then after a few seconds it corrects itself.

I have taken it to Apple Store in Spain, Istanbul, Vienna and they all say it is a software problem. 😤😤😤😡😡😡

Same thing with my pro max, some says it’s a software problem as there’s a new feature in which it sharpens the photo automatically. You can’t even turn it off. Hope an update can fix this, if it is really a software issue.

No Solution Yet. It definitely seems like a software issue where the device gets "Confused" and can't focus right. I don't have any covers on the camera so it's something else. I hope it gets better addressed in a software update. It would be good for it to be more reliable than try to be fancy. Also, I noticed that some apps can't switch to the zoom in camera when you hold something close the phone. Seems like that app only has access to the one main camera.

This is so frustrating. Only had the phone 1 month and on vacation in Alaska and my videos are crap. I am past the 30 day return policy and really wish they would get this fixed asap on a $1300 phone!!

Disappointed. iPhone 11 had better resolution as well as far superior low light quality and indoor white balance. Most images look ok on the phone but if you zoom in or view on a bigger screen, the quality leaves a lot to be desired. I agree with the many people on this forum, this camera is a disappointment. I assume if it could be fixed with a firmware update, it would be done by now so it’s probably just crappy sensors.

Same thing in my situation also my fathers iPhone 11 is Best in camera quality but my 14pro is worst in quality of photos I have been waiting since January 2023 will it fixed or not with the updates we are receiving but badluck nothing is happening ..I am feeling regret for buying 14Pro rather than going for S23 ultra

the only last hope is iOS 17 update after that also if it not fixed and we are Scammed by Apple for getting low quality mobile

Arghhh! Biggest regret buying the Apple 14 Pro. I specifically bought it for the advertising for the camera, but it was false advertising. I am experiencing what the other people and saying here and maybe we can start a class action for false advertising.

I have a new job as a content creator so invested in this phone for the camera. The videos go blurry, then correct themselves, then go blurry. The quality of video and photos is extremely low.

In low light the photos look like they were taken for a Nokia from the 90s. My husband bought a regular IPhone 14 and I now have to use his phone to take photos as mine might as well be used as a paper weight.

Not happy at all Apple and I can feel everyone’s frustrations at your inaction. Very poor form! I have lost all faith in Apple and will be going to a Google phone next.

Pick up your act and fix this issue. You are costing people money and memories.
