Blurry 3x telephoto lens camera on iPhone 14 Pro

A 3x camera on my iPhone 14 pro won’t focus in cold weather conditions (around -10 Celsius). I tried to shoot outside (in good light conditions, sunny day), camera just got blurry (lens are clean, it’s not a frost or condensate problem) and when I tried to focus by tapping on a display this blur just got worse, restarting camera app and even restarting iPhone didn’t help. Then after it’s been indoors in a warm conditions for some time a 3x lens started to work fine again, and then after a few minutes of outdoor shooting it didn’t focus again. What is it and what to do to fix it?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16

Hello aliaxxndra,


It sounds like you've had some concerns about using your iPhone 14 Pro in low temperatures. We'd use the following to troubleshoot the issue:


  1. If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch gets too hot or too cold
  2. Cleaning your iPhone
  3. If the camera or flash on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch isn't working


Should you continue to have this issue, then it may be best to contact Apple directly: Official - Apple Support


They'll need to take it from here.


Wishing you well, take care.
