I only see this issue in certain lower light conditions right before night mode kicks in. Otherwise daytime pics look excellent. See about changing photographic styles if your constantly having issues. If that doesn’t help you could have more of an issue.

Yea i actually noticed that it did it last week, it actually made it look slightly better and also i am aware of digital zoom

I always thought 5C kind of looked cool...

I’m a few days late but I just got my 14 pro max to replace my 12 pro. I have to say it feels heavier than I thought and perhaps a bit too heavy to hold in one hand. Hopefully I can get used to it.

Also I’ve always been confused when people say about returning stuff - how could you just return it if you didn’t like it, sssuming you’ve already unboxed it and used it?

That is because when you zoom in on digital zoom ranges (not talking the default selectable .5x, 1x, 2x, 3x, anything in between those and beyond 3x which is digital zoom).. Apple decided “we should force photos to go through AI upscaling to 12MP”. It is where the dreaded water painting effect comes in full force, otherwise it is usually fine when bounding yourself to physical lenses.

Tomorrow

I do the same. I use Halide as my default camera app now that I can take 48MP HEICs only within Halide, along with ProRAW since well.. being able to adjust focus manually and such is crucial. Along with Focus Peaking.

But Apple doesn’t think so.

As others have said, Apple doesn't believe it's an issue. There's definitely a large amount of processing going on in photos so I alternate between using the stock camera app and Halide depending on situation.

If you are shooting in ProRAW then I highly suggest downloading Lightroom mobile, importing the ProRAW photo there and scrolling to the “profiles” tab. Then, either choose a different profile like Adobe Color or change the Apple ProRAW to 0. This will fix most of the “overly-processed” look you get, and brings your photos back to a neutral state. Try it out!

On my 14 pictures are only bad quality if it's zoomed in on something kinda far

This

Focus is horrendous on 14 pro.

Zoom during facetime calls - garbage

Battery life on 1y old used 13 pro is same as 14pro.

Man…

I'll check that out! Thanks!

Oddly enough when I take a photo and go to edit the sharpness it set all the way to the left at 0. Some photos look fantastic but some lower light it's just blows out the sharpness so much it looks horrible.

I use Halide for my 14PM shots - 48MP & ProRAW. Better results than the stock camera app.

If people are complaining then its an issue... I don't want my photos automatically edited after I click the shutter button. This is my biggest problem with this phone and I really hope they address this because it's the first time since 2014 that I have thought about moving away from Apple to Samsung. 😒

I’m am not experiencing the issue I shot only in RAW, but I also always edit my photo on the fly. Have you tried editing to see what the sharpness is set to?

• Why hasn’t Apple addressed this issue

Because Apple doesn’t believe that it is an issue.

Then what is the worst iPhone?

Last gen specs, plastic exterior, no TouchID for only $100 cheaper. You might as well just get a normal iPhone 5.

Ironic that iPhone 14 has last gen CPU…

Caudabe lucid clear

I had two 5c’s when they were first out, first one had a massive gap between the screen and plastic case so swapped it over. Second one had exactly the same problem, complained and they upgraded me to a 5s instead which was perfect. Shame as I really liked the look of the 5c but build quality just seemed hit and miss.

Because bad sales.

It wasn’t that bad, on the contrary it was meant to be the “commercial” iPhone 5 (colourful, made of plastic instead of steel and glass, a bit cheaper if I remember correctly).

It just sold badly.
