iPhone 14 pro max Poor camera performance

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

I have the same problem:

1. when I start filming it gets blurry at some point
2. I take a simple photo, gets blurry
3. I try to scan qrs through the apps, get blurry so I can’t!
4. Portrait photos are worst than ever

This is so frustrating since I payed U$D 1350 for this and Apple isn’t giving a solution as it’s definitely a hardware problem.

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.

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.

It’s horrendous and is going to be the straw that broke the camel’s back for me and Apple phones. Never again. The camera is possibly the most important thing to me on the phone and the image quality is unpredictable and mostly garbage. Significantly worse than the 10 that this was to be an upgrade from. So, so disappointed and angry. I’m also baffled that no reviews flagged this, while it’s not exactly subtle.

Im having this same issue with my iPhone 14 pro max that I upgraded from the 13 pro max, which took way better pictures. Frustrating is an understatement since I upgraded with hopes of taking even better quality photos. I have tried all the settings and manual options and cannot get the quality pictures I used to get with my 13 pro max. What a disappointment.

Yes, same problem here. What did you do about it? Do you have any suggestions?

I’m having the same problem! I bought my camera today and I’m returning it tomorrow!

I don’t understand how this issue was never fixed, you’re not alone. Definitely a hardware issue. This may likely be my last iPhone. Just not worth it anymore.
