iPhone 14 pro max camera issues

I’m having the exact same issue… haven’t found any solution. I notice that my videos with the front camera turn out exactly how they looked, however the photos do not. Once they go into my camera roll, they change completely.

Same here and it is not only the camera but Snapchat and even Instagram. I can’t get away from it. The photo looks good on the screen but as soon as you press the shutter it does this hi def correction. I have messed with every setting to no avail. I wish I never upgraded my phone. My 12 plus had a cracked lens and it was still better than this. Hopefully they will be able to update and correct this somehow otherwise I think they should swap everyone out who bought one to another version. Ugh!

I'm 6 months in with mine and must say it's produces the worst pictures I've ever seen from an Iphone. All of the above !!! It really struck me after a going to a concert and taking pictures on lighting. Every shot of sky is over blown and other shots are dark. I shouldn't really have to go into Snapseed to fix every image. Wished i'd left Apple and gone with Pixel Pro.

Hi Everyone, I'm iPhone 14 Pro Max user. I m not sure what happen, my camera suddenly does'nt work properly for the 1x option the 0.5,2x,3x works fine... only happen the past few days, no crack on the lens. its only the 1x option capture the small dot flash and row of lines...

Loath my iPhone 14 ProMax. I had a 12 ProMax previously with no issues. Photos and videos are blurry constantly. I have went to the genius bar twice since march of this year. Each time they replaced the lenses but once home again the picture and video quality is rubbish.

Same here. I had the iphone 11 pro max, it was fine, then the 12 pro max, fine again, then starting with 13 pro max it went sideways and now the 14 pro max is abysmal when it comes to the camera processing. I gave up taking photos with it because they're bad unless I am outside in bright sunlight. As soon as I go in shade, if it is cloudy, dusk,dawn or indoors, it's over! I am puzzled what kind of people work in the camera software division. S22,s23 series from Sammy blow the iphone away any time at camera quality and details.

I've had my 14 pro for almost a year. Very inconsistent focusing. Dozens of phone calls for support. Apple store had me go back to factory settings. They even replaced the camera. Same problems. Some great photos, but both the lighting and focusing is inconsistent. The store offers to take the phone apart, and I'd be without a phone for over a week.

Recently phone support (a wonderful woman) offered to replace it with another iphone 14 pro, which just came in the mail. But from all of the comments here I see no reason to trust that this will resolve the problem. Maybe the "replacement" will be someone else's problems that they exchanged.

What about a class action suit to get our money back???

I keep being told that they are "working" on the problem. I do a lot of wildlife photography and having to turn off the phone to get it to focus better kind of defeats the purpose of having a camera to do my photos.

It is soooo funny that I see this post. I am also wanting to go back to my XR as well. Wish I could still get a brand new one from somewhere. Or even a XS Max would be good right now. I am thinking about selling the 14 Pro Max and downgrading back to my iPhone 13. It actually did take much better photos than the 14.

Same thing with me. I loathe the camera on my 14 Pro Max. My XS Max took the BEST photos - vivid, true to color, needed minimal post-processing, but every photo I take with the 14 Pro Max is abysmal. Looks nothing true to life, dark, muted color and grainy, requiring tons of post-processing which really doesn't help and shouldn't be necessary. Video seems to do a good job of showing true color, but still photos are horrible. I really wish I'd never traded my XS. It was old, but it had an awesome camera.

I've had this camera almost a year. The same problems you mention. I've talked with Apple at least 20 times about it. I've taken it into the local Apple store and they actually replaced the camera. Still doesn't focus consistently. The video has the right light in situations where the camera is too dark. I end up having to edit all of the photos and throw out many because they aren't focused. I do a lot of nature photography so close ups of flowers, birds etc. If the bird is sitting there and my camera won't focus... it's gone. They had me do a factory reset, etc. etc. etc. Still inconsistent focus. Now they want to do some other "repair" which would leave me with no phone for a week or more. Very frustrated. They said I could exchange it since I'm still under warranty, but apparently that would be a refurbished phone, and probably the same problems. I should have kept my 11.

I am having the same issue with the iPhone 14 Pro. It saves differently than the preview in camera, I go to make adjustments and the edits turn into something completely different in the gallery. I don't have any filters turned on. It's just the camera and manual edits. I wish apple would fix this. Tempted to ditch apple phones for good.

I thought it’s just my phone, now I know that it’s really the 14promax camera issue.🤨

I still find that my iphone 14 pro camera is not focusing consistently. The image often is shaking as I try to get it to focus (NOT my hands shaking, I'm sure...) This is after having the entire phone replaced by Apple. I've posted before here about this. Apple just keeps having me upgrade the new software. I turn the phone off. Nothing helps consistently.

I still wonder why there isn't a recall. Or a class action suit.

Took my phone back to the Genius Bar the beginning of this month and they placed my screen in a new phone body. So basically the whole processing unit is new. Well it didn’t fix the problem. Still videos get blurry when I zoom in. But the color resolution seems have gotten better. My son races motocross and for him to continue with his sponsors I have to post on social media etc., well I can’t or won’t post a blurry video

Hmmm that’s weird because I got my 14 pro plus max iPhone just as soon as they hit the market. This phone takes the best pictures of anything I have ever seen, even better than my video camera which I don’t use anymore. You probably have a faulty phone which is possible and yes I recommend you send it back and exchange it.
