iPhone 15 Pro Max Camera Blurry and Out of Focus

what did u do to fix this problem, im experiencing it too 😥

This sucks !!! My iPhone 12 took way better photos than the 15 pro max that I have I tried all the camera setting and nothing has worked highly disappointed in Apple ….

Same issue. Thought it was just me. Zoom Lens selection keeps bouncing back and forth

i believe you have 14 days to return the phone from point of purchase so if you’re still within that they’re shouldn’t be an issue

through my Apple care I got sent a new phone and the new one has the same grainy camera issue. It’s on the front camera and the back camera has focus issues. No changes

Has anyone tried to delete the camera app and reinstall it ?

That is not possible. Camera is not one of the pre-installed apps that you can delete.

Someone explains that blurry corners could be caused by the larger sensor compared to the iPhone 13 Pro. Larger Sensors used with the same lens have a "shorter" depht of field.

Are your images sharp in the center area or blurry everywhere?

I’m praying it’s a software issue and not faulty cameras. I was able to get my iPhone on 09/22/23 so I’ve had it for almost a month….. I will be really upset if this is the quality of our cameras on the 15.

My pictures have been absolutely stunning on my 15 pro max idk what y’all are doing here. Unless you have some defective cameras because I’ve won exactly zero awards and my pictures look better than what OP is showing here.

I just did a shoot for my church and trying to open the files they came out lo-rez (videos and images). I am using Win 10. I do have win 11 laptop that did open the images,although not from the phone, had to save them to the laptop first. they are still exceedingly noisy. So it appears that for us Windows users 11 is the only option. If i could get my 13 promax back I would swap it in a heartbeat. Contacted Apple and they said there was nothing they could do. Suggested loading them to the Icloud, not happening!

I have a iPhone 11 Pro Max - since I have switched to OS 17 my photos are absolutely terrible ! Grainy, out of focus and defaults to 2x option on zoom !

so annoyed as I needed to take photos of my old dog before we said our final goodbye and all I have is crappy out of focus grainy pictures! Apple has lost the plot with this update ( assuming it’s what is causing this functional change ?!)

I have tried all options to change this nothing helps … if anyone know what I can do to fix PLEASE share 🙏

This sucks Apple !! I can only imagine how those who have forked out the $$ for a new phone would feel !!

Glad I'm not the only one experiencing these issues.

I have the 15 plus and the quality of the pictures is far worse than the iPhone 12 I used to have.

The selfies are of horrible quality and once I take a picture and go look at it on the photos app, the lighting is completely different than it was on the camera preview and the picture appears low quality and grainy.

However, if I take a selfie using Instagram's camera it's not as bad.

I hope Apple fixes this ASAP.

I thought I was going crazy. I upgraded from an iPhone 11 to the 15 Pro on September 24th and initially, I was very happy with the camera upgrade! Recently though, I noticed that the lighting for selfies I take looks better in the camera display than what is actually captured. The Live Photo footage looks like the display, but the photo itself seems auto-adjusted to a dark, shadowy and grainy image! Same thing for main camera captures too. They just look so much worse and I’ve tried playing with the settings but nothing works. I suspect this is an iOS issue as I don’t remember it being this way before the update. I also tried taking photos in burst mode and that seems to be the only thing that’s preventing the auto-adjust feature, the photos in burst mode look the same as they do in the camera preview. I really hope they fix this. So annoying!

I am disappointed with the camera quality of iPhone 15 Pro Max. Coming from 12 Pro Max which was amazing it’s a noticeable difference. All photos are grainy, some are blurry. Portraits nowhere good as they used to be with 12 PM. I am regretting I “upgraded”. I should have gone with pixel 8 pro. Hopefully next year I will be able to trade in 15 PM for next pixel.

I came from a 13 pro to a 15 pro max and the 15’s camera is rubbish in comparison. Photos are so over sharpened and very noisy with almost anything off centre being out of focus. I’m really unhappy with my purchase.
