iPhone Camera Blurry after Update iOS 12, How to Fix?

I have recently updated my iPhone to iOS 12, and the phone now takes blurry pictures. I've tried a few things (cleaned the lens, restarted my phone, played with the camera settings), but nothing helped. is there anything else I can do to fix iPhone camera blurry after update?

I've had the same issue with my iPhone X since upgrading to iOS 12.


Since updating to iOS 12 (and 12.1 beta since then which is just as bad) I've noticed:


1. Auto-focus is not as accurate as on iOS 11.

2. There is significantly more aggressive noise reduction / image smoothing which looks very poor, certainly much worse than iOS 11.

3. The phone struggles under lower light conditions much more than it did on iOS 11.

4. Bright lights (e.g. a cars headlights) cause very poor results both with HDR enabled and disabled - a problem I did not have under iOS 11.


At first I thought it was just a dirty lens or I was doing something wrong but I'm now convinced it's a software bug in iOS 12 and 12.1 beta.
