Poor quality photos on iPhone 14 pro max

Happening to me too. Bought this phone for a serious amount of money and the camera is not great! Uploading to 3rd party apps... awful. Images are sooooo pixilated and grainy, really really disappointing and when I speak to Apple they just act as if there is no issues. Either got the options of taking the phone back for a refund from where I bought it from or sticking it out I guess. They want to do Troubleshooting but it's just ticking the boxes on their side i'm sure.

I bought thinking it would be a great benefit as I try to shoot professional nailfie pics for instagram. I tried for months to get a better pic, tutorials etc... I would of returned it but had a auto accident and could not drive, so I am stuck, had to resort to buying a Samsung phone just for pictures. this is only for text and phone now.... what a waste of $1K plus.

I was thinking of trying the new 15, (trading in) but not interested in paying again for a useless camera on phone. Anyone find a resolution to this 14 pro-max disappointment yet?

its been terrible for me too. I’ve played around with settings but have had zero luck. My selfies are awful. The screen image is very nice but as soon as I take the picture the image immediately changes to a grayish color over the skin. All warmth and natural skin tone disappear. Both Skin and hair appear gray. I look aged by decades. I asked my friend’s 10year old to try it out they looked terrible in the selfie also. landscape pictures are pretty good. But definitely not a camera flattering for selfies.

I would love some help on this. It’s very disappointing.

Did anyone ever get any answers about the crappy quality of photos? I notice a bunch of questions but no replies.

I bought my I phone 14 pro max and I am so disappointed and frustrated with the photos .My iPhone 7s takes a lot better pictures.

i wish I never purchased this phone.

“Fixed” how? Where do we get the fix?

I don’t understand why we have to buy something else to make our pictures look the way this iPhone 14 was supposed to.

The pictures I took IPhone 14

were NOT THE QUALITY that I expected!!! And,I was taking pictures of my grandson’s baptism and his 1st birthday!! They were blurry and as hard as I tried to edit them, I just couldn’t make it work!!!!!!

what goes on!!!!! I want my old phone back!!!

same Problem here brother. Mine gets terrible moon shots and half the time the phone if so dang buggy I can’t even use it!! It’s updated to iOS 16.5.1 as of 7/9/23Will return/sell ASAP

This picture was taken in a clear environment btw

I am extremely disappointed with the 14 pro max photos. I don't understand why the media or the government has not yet picked up on this misrepresentation by Apple and demand software update or rebates for customers who bought the phone.

I have spent a lot of money on my iPhone 14 Pro Max and I couldn’t be unhappier! The pictures look horrible, grainy, over pixelated, a disaster, really! And the selfies? They make me look like a monster! It’s almost August and Apple hasn’t done anything to fix this problem… Have you found a solution so far?

The problem seems fixed 90% in the iphone 15. I have the Plus one and the camera is ok, still below S23 Ultra , but not that bad like it was with the 13 and 14 series. I'll keep this one for now, hopefully Apple won't mess up the AI processing... even now I can't understand how come their "camera expert lead engineer" can say the 13 and 14 series take decent photos. The only possible explanation is that they know very well, but didn't bother to fix it for these models but instead did it for the new 15 series...quite pathetic tbh

Very disappointed with iPhone 14 Pro Max! The picture quality lacks crispness, and it even appears to be somewhat distorted. I recall when the iPhone 11 came out I realized very soon after purchasing it that the picture quality was bad, and I quickly returned it. I then went back to my iPhone X. Apple was well aware of all of the issues with iPhone 11 so I assumed that they would never put out an inferior product again which led me to be more relaxed when I purchased it. Now, I have had it too long to return it, and I am disappointed to be stuck with a camera with poor picture quality.

I hate my iPhone 14 pro max, camera really bad, and get hot very quick, I went to stores after speaking with apple care, at store they said my phone is fine, my question is did you not see the picture quality?? He admitted it bad, but his said the test all good. Isn’t that mean this is the quality we payed is such. Bad customer service.
