Hi, main camera on iPhone 16 Pro Max is not sharp enough.

I bought a new iPhone 16 Pro Max for 2 weeks ago and from the beginning I was disappointed by the image quality on main camera. Issue with sharpeness. I toke my phone to an Apple Store and compared my phone with one in the store. And there is a difference in sharpness when you look at the images.

The question is if it´s a softwear issue or issue with the sensor?

Both cameras had the same IOS version and all the settings was exactly the same.

See exampels of both images.

Can anybody answer the question by looking att the photos?

OK, and now I can´t upload RAW files here, which makes the comparison impossible...

What a joke.

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18

You went to the Apple store, why didn't you ask these questions with the people at the genius bar?
