iPhone 15 Pro / Max camera blurry and won't focus

Having the same problem here.

Apps can’t access camera focus right.

I can't scan my DL or Credit card in 3rd party apps anymore. Apple, please fix this!

Didnt work, the problem persists

I have the same issue with any third party app (not official Camera app). Can't scan any small document like Driver Licence. Even iOS Note app won't work.

Bought the phone 15 days back and I am already upset with the camera quality. Upgraded from 11 Pro max, not sure if this was actually an upgrade! Had my scheduled session with Apple support team and even she admitted an issue with the camera quality. I thought it might be the camera protector which is causing grainy images but now I see a lot of people facing this issue. Is this getting fixed anytime soon?? I literally upgraded just for the camera and I am so disappointed :(

None of the fixes listed work for me. I bought the 15 Pro Max FOR the camera, for a volunteer job I have where I have to focus on various parts of plants. This camera is unusable! I upgraded from an iphone SEVEN and that one took GREAT photos. Very disappointed in Apple.

I bought the 15 pro, the photos are trash and blurry, especially faces or anything that needs a bit of focus. The cameras are faulty by design, apple doesn’t want to admit because they are going to face billions in losses worth of recalls

a lot of time with the issue and Apple do not offer any solutions, I come from iPhone 11 and never issue and now with the last technology we have a big issue because I can use for scans document on our bank app. Apple please fix this 🤦‍♂️

IPhone 15 ProMax camera doesn’t focus on small objects.

I invested in an iPhone 15ProMax mainly because of the camera supposed upgrade and functionality.

I use a camera daily for research to take pictures of insects and fungi. My previous iPhone 7 Plus worked really well focusing on small objects and took good pictures.

Unfortunately I cannot say the same about the iPhone 15 ProMax. The camera won’t focus and I can’t use it for my research; it’s a shame that a product expensive as the iPhone 15 ProMax doesn’t perform at least as good as an 7 years old phone.

My coworkers that upgraded to the new iPhone have the same issue; this isn’t a user error but a camera or software issue.

Even though I always had and loved IPhones, I might have to get a Samsung now.

I've the same problem. It s really horrible not to have the possibility to use the camera in third part apps. Impossibile to scan a qr code impossibile to take a photo to a document. It's ridicolous.

Please do something

Same here. Bought specifically for the camera. Thinking about switching to Samsung s24……. But not really wanting the leaning curve from Apple to android. It’s a shame to pay this much money for such poor results. Does Apple care???

That did not help this situation whatsoever. This issue persists after 5 months. All Third party apps are not able to focus at all using the camera. Not able to scan anything, very frustrated to see someone trying to “help” just copy and paste a useless response that does nothing for the situation. Does Apple care enough to help? Probably not since i just had to factory reset my phone by Apple Genius from an IOS update bricking the phone!

Just bought the iPhone 15 pro max today lol, and had an application that reads barcode of products to getting the price, seeing that even after more than 5 mins trying to read the barcode and it not working’s , almost had a heart attack and thought it was a hardware fault, but seeing’s that I’m not alone, kinda tbh put me at ease as this surely will be fixed… yes please fix it

anybody experiences what i see? i can’t repro the blurry images people report here my issue is just that i can’t zoom into any taken image in comparison to iphone 13 max. see image of frame. try to zoom into the image. iphone 13 pro one good and detailed and all iphone 15 pro max images are fuzzy and just not as good. not usable for wife need to get her an iphone 13 pro again she insists

Apple is coming out with another update and there isn’t anything about fixing the camera that the previous updates damaged. Way to go Apple for completely ignoring the community🫡. Time for a Non-Apple phone upgrade
