iPhone 15 Pro Max Camera Blurry and Out of Focus

Apple never promised anywhere you would be able to change lenses while taking video.

It's never going to be smooth due to the parallax difference of the placement of the three lenses.

Why my comment got deleted? 😳

me too! I’m so disappointed. I upgraded from an 11 to a 15 pro max. And this is a huge DOWNgrade in photo quality. Do I bring my device to the Apple Store to get a replacement? Not sure what to do

Yes. All models. The pro and max are little better but still worse than basically all older models up to the 6. Glad I sold mine and got a 14. Much better.

Please explain; I don't think you mean ProRAW or true RAW mode images here, which have minimal or no processing whatsoever.

Same here. I’m coming from a 13 Pro Max where pictures were extra sharp and crispy.

I'm not sure I'd want my pictures to be crispy. ;-)

True! Facing this issue since 2 month , nobody is understand what problem we are facing! And I notice that our problem is getting ignored ! Something is wrong with camera no doubt….also when we are speaking about it our comments got deleted

this is how camera takes grainy shots ! I showed them this shot too, and what they are saying that this is normal nothing is wrong with this photos 😊

No it didn't fix anything.

I think problem is not in software.. it’s much more than software

Same here brother, ultimate disappointment 😔. I was madly in love with my 14 pro 2x vivid mode now my 15 pro max is nowhere near to 14 pro. Feeling useless with iPhone 15 pro.

I tested this at an apple store and even showed apple employee. I could tell it kind of shocked her. I was comparing to my iphone 13. definately grainier than mine up close at same optical zoom.

I am having similar issues with my 15 pro max. 9 out of 10 photos are blurry and I can’t get the camera to focus.

You have no idea how badly I want to reply to this.....

My iphone 13 pro took much better photos without issue in portrait mode. I photograph things for my business and this is absolutely unacceptable, has apple figured out whats going on here? The 15pro is disappointing with portrait mode, i never had these issues with my 13 pro , look at how grainy the images are

Zero improvement
