iPhone 17 Pro Max document scans are blurry
Subject: Blurry Document Scanning Issue on iPhone 17 Pro Max
I am currently using an iPhone 17 Pro Max and would like to report an issue related to document scanning quality.
My work requires frequent scanning of physical documents into PDF files. Prior to upgrading, I used an iPhone 12 Pro Max with the paid version of the CamScanner application, and the scanned documents were consistently sharp, clear, and met my professional requirements.
After switching to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, I have encountered a persistent problem: scanned documents appear blurry and lack sharpness. To troubleshoot, I have attempted the following actions:
- Adjusting all available camera settings
- Using the macro camera
- Using the main camera at 1× zoom
- Using the 2× zoom camera
- Changing the distance between the camera and the document
- Using a tripod to eliminate camera shake
Despite these efforts, the scanned images remain blurry and unclear.
I have researched this issue on online forums and found that multiple users have reported similar document scanning blur problems starting from the iPhone 14 Pro Max series onward. Notably, a colleague of mine using an iPhone 13 Pro Max does not experience this issue under similar conditions.
I would appreciate your guidance on how to fully and permanently resolve this problem, whether through camera configuration, software updates, or other recommended solutions.
Thank you for your support.
iPhone 17 Pro Max, iOS 26
