Hello there, charlesfromnashua.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great recommendations for troubleshooting the camera on your iOS device and photos that our blurred or out of focus:
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Your photos are blurred or out of focus
If your photos are blurred, out of focus, or have dark spots, try these steps:
- Make sure that the camera lens is clean. If you need to clean the lens, use a microfiber cloth. If you see dirt or debris inside the lens, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
- Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
With iPhone 6 Plus, a metallic case or magnetic lens could interfere with optical image stabilization. If you have a metallic case or magnetic lens attachment, try taking a picture without it. Then compare the quality.- Adjust the focus by tapping on the person or object in the preview screen. You’ll see the screen pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as the camera adjusts. In photo mode, try to stay steady when adjusting the focus. If you move too far in any direction, the camera will automatically refocus to the center. In video mode, you can adjust the focus before you begin recording.
- If the color seems too bright, or you see double-exposures of moving objects, make sure that HDR is set to Auto or Off. Tap HDR at the top of the screen to choose a different setting.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
I have the same problem, don't see any debris in lens, I have a case though it not cover lens… tried resetting my settings, no luck. iPhone 6 plus. was fine one day then blurred. The lens on the rear facing works fine. any thoughts
I have the same issue and chatted with an Apple rep who told me to take it in to the Apple store. I've heard if the phone is under warranty they will replace camera or phone. I got the same instructions that are posted above. They don't understand that this is a widespread problem with hardware.

That's because it's not a wide-spread problem. Upon what information are you basing this opinion?
Problem solved. Went to Apple Store. They replaced camera lens in about 45 minutes. Now good as new

That's good to hear! Also, I didn't realize they did lens-replacements on-site. Good to know.
I Too am having this problem with my iPhone 6 Plus. The camera is sometimes in focus and most the time not in focus if I turn off camera app and turn on camera app it will come back into focus. I think this is a software issue. I live too far away from an Apple store to have the lens replaced. I hope this has a fix soon!
My iPhone 6+ camera pictures are out of focus
