Iphone 14 Pro Max Lens flare

I bought an Iphone 14 Pro max, but since the purchase I have discovered that it has a very bad lens flare, especially in the dark. Even though I'm 20 meters away from the light, there is still lens flare. One moment it's 4 dots and the next moment it's balls or whole blocks. Well Apple has so far only said it might be a hardware problem, but they would release the tech people on it. The store I bought it from calls it very normal and you focus on it and say you need to turn off night mode. even though I show photos with the night mode turned off, they keep claiming that I have it on in the photo. But also during the day this phenomenon remains serious.

And could send it, maybe they now have another glass for the cameras that it has been solved.


but even if I stand 15 - 30 meters from the light, I still see lens flare in combination with a curve that has the size of the camera.


A little Lens flare is not a problem for me, but it is if your lens turns out to be a mirror, for that money I prefer to go to a home store and then I have, for example, 50 mirrors.



Besides the fact that it's ridiculous that so much detail has been put in the cameras by Apple but not to avoid a little bit of lens flare in the hardware, it's also annoying that you can't really do anything decent with a "pro camera.


I see that there are already many discussions going on, even from earlier models, but are there also users with the Iphone 14 Pro Max / 14 Pro who are not bothered by this at all or at all? (systematic then) I'm pretty curious.

I’m late to the upgrade and because I held out for so long, I am extremely disappointed. This is all very accurate. The dots , blocks, shapes and lines ruin photos in rooms with natural light and even in my car.


I assume it’s a hardware issue with the size of the size of lenses and but It’s unacceptable . I just want to know if the issue is just being ignored because My husband upgraded to S23 with no issues and since I’m still 14 days in, I’m ready to sell my watch return and this phone and make the switch. I’m not willing to take the risk of ruining more important photos



my samples are simple but I took the exact same photos with my 11 pro and husbands S23 with no issue.
