iPhone 15 Pro Max Photos Blurry

I’ve gone from a 13 pro max to a 15 pro max. Used my 13 for taking photos at gigs / concerts. Fast moving low light. Always used live mode and used to get some pretty good, in focus shots. Was excited to start using my 15, but the photos are appallingly bad. So blurry, even in good light with the subject relatively still. When zoomed in the resolution is so bad all of the detail is lost and it looks worse than some photos I used to get from my old Nokia 95 decades ago. Also the sound quality on videos is nowhere near as good. Sounds very dull and tinny compared to 13 pro max. So disappointed. Considering returning it and going back to 13.

Update: The only thing that fully fixed it is doing an express exchange and getting a new device. Something was definitely wrong with the first device. Photos on new device look great

Ugh yeah it’s super annoying. I’m doing an express exchange so I’ll see if the new phone has the same problem

Oct 10, 2023 11:22 AM in response to Strummersphotog

Apple is working on that and a few other problems

That’s just taking a burst of shots and therefore doesn’t capture as live. I have the live setting on.

Did you need to take into the store to get an express exchange? And was it with Apple, Verizon, or somewhere else? Thanks so much 😊

That’s good to know. I wish I had bought my new phone through Apple. I bought mine through Verizon and it hasn’t been easy so far.

I am beginning to see some lot/sets/cases of iPhone 15 Pro are having issues. Local carries up here in Canada have not run into this issue so far.

did they give you a 15 pro that was fixed ?

Oct 25, 2023 1:37 PM in response to Strummersphotog

Has anyone on this thread returned their iphone 15 pro for a replacement? Wondering if apple is actually fixing this issue or it is indeed how the 15 pros cameras are.

What do you mean they got the Ai calculations wrong?? If they know they got it wrong, why aren’t they giving us an update to fix it😭
