iPhone 7 - camera cannot focus/blurry on far objects

I am so glad I came across this suggested solution—I haven’t even had my iPhone 8 for a full week and my camera would not focus whatsoever. Completely blurry. Then I tapped it into the palm of my hand twice. Fixed the issue on the second try. Thank you so much~

I also dont know, my iPhone 7+ takes more blurry photos than my iPhone 5

It also has the shutter bug with a dark flashing screen on the photo mode

spent a lot of money on it for the camera feature, but find when i take close ups of small objects (which is why i bought it for the telephoto for macro), it skips between telephoto and digiatal, and cant decide which lens to focus with

The dual lens thing has turned out to be a gimmick that has made a good lens, into an unusable product for people trying to take professional pics of their products (which is what i do).

I wont be buying another iPhone, after 8 years with Apple uysing only mac, ipad, iphone, and apple peripherals such as apple tv, time machine, airport etc

This was the last time i spend money on a device of this pricetag and find out after a month or two that the device is full of inadequacies.

they sell us their devices to test if they work, and then dump us with the problem

I live in Thailand, and there is no Apple shops here, it is administrated by Singapore. when i once had a iPhone break under guarantee, i asked Apple to help, and they said 'we dont have a repair station in Thailand' so i said 'can i send it to Singapore seeing as Apple Thailand HQ is based in Singapore? they said 'No only if you bought the phone in Singapore'

I said 'well all Apple produycts are guaranteed for one year, how are you going to repair my phone under the guarantee?'

We dont' she said

'Why?' i said

'because we cant, we dont have a repair station in Thailand'

I then asked 'if so, then how can you lawfully sell with a guarantee for repair if break in one year, when you cannot fulfil the promise?

she hung up

Thats Apple Asia

The iPhone 7+ Camera is useless, like a 5 megapixel thing. it was good until iOS 10.2

I have the same problem. I upgraded for the camera and it’s worse than the iPhone 6s Plus.

I’m so sad and disa

This worked!!!!! Thank you so much.

It didn't fix the issue.

So I read the link and checked my phone, as well as an old 6 that takes good pictures.

I definitely have some debris on the underside of the glass protecting the larger lens. I cleaned the outside carefully and checked for scratches but it's not external. The phone is only a few days old. Literally. I guess it's back to Apple as this is the 2nd 7 Plus (this week) with these blurry/noisy/out of focus images.

With my first 7 Plus I saw the image quality thing right away as I dabble in photography. I showed a rep some 6S Plus images vs my 7 Plus images and he admitted it didn't look good. He showed a tech and they gave me a new phone out of retail box immediately. I should add that it had only been 1 or 2 days from original purchase. Now that I see debris I have to go back but will be going straight to a tech and I may be OK with a non-retail version.

My iPhone 7 wasn't focusing so I gave it a knock on the palm of my hand, that fixed it, seems the lens had seized up 😝
