My iPhone 14 produces dark pictures on photos. How do I fix this?

After taking photos on my iPhone 14 pro max, the photo goes dark. What's the reason?

The images I am taking outdoors, in bright sunlight, are too dark. It looks like a stormy day, green leaves on trees are black. I bought the iPhone 14 for the camera and I am so disappointed.

I feel cheated. This phone is not cheap n the quality is sooooo bad. It’s dark even we tk pic in daylight. Everything looks darker. 😩

Josaline, have you found a solution to this or anything that has helped? I am experiencing the same thing and it’s so frustrating…

The same with me, iPhone 14 Pro Max and I can’t take any decent selfies…when I turn on the loop, it helps a little but how can I have all pics on loop?? The pain.

Yes its taking the most ugliest photo ever. Dark n ugly. Highly NOT recommended!

This is not helpful at all. We just don’t want our photos getting darker than what they looked like when they were captured. Fix this problem please. It’s making lose interest in my new iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Ugh this is annoying I’m seeing all over the web that this camera sucks and I bought it for that reason! I just took side by side photos with my 13 and 14pro and the 13 is better. I’m actually ******! Hope you plan on reimbursing everyone that you screwed apple because I haven’t been impressed with your product for a while this is the final straw!

I’m having the same issue, even before taking the picture it looks really nice but after a few seconds they look darker. I decided switching back to Apple, from Samsung to iPhone (my last iPhone was an iSE 1st gen) for a great camera experience, but i’m getting disappointed, actually my SE still takes better pics than my iPhone 14 Pro… I hope this to be solved with a software update soon…

Unfortunately it’s not an issue Apple is working on fixing, to my knowledge. If enough people provide feedback about it, Apple may fix it with a software update someday. Cow-dog has already provided the link for people to provide Apple feedback about this issue. This is NOT a poll or petition for goodness sake. Cow-dog is the one providing the link, not me.

Are you reading all of these complaints @Apple ? They are everywhere on the Internet.

I’m so disappointed in my 14 Pro Max. I had such good pictures on my 12 Pro and only upgraded for the camera which I thought I was getting. Why hasn’t Apple provided a fix for this? it’s insanity. :(

Hi my phone also does the same thing, even when I’m outside in the dark . The only pictures I got good was the first day I bought it, my very very first pictures were the best. I even tried wiping the Fone off thinking maybe I changed the settings unaware but , it’s if no help.

I regret upgrading from 11 pro max to 14 pro max too. My 11 pro max was much better. Now, I don’t even take pictures anymore unless I’m asking someone to take a picture of me with their phone. Totally disappointing and a waste of money😔😔
