Apologies if there is a thread/location for this already - I looked and couldn't find one.
I've had my iPhone 6 since December of last year. In May/June of this year, I noticed that my rear camera would not focus properly for up close/detailed photos. When I attempt to manually focus on an item, the camera can only focus up to a certain point - the rest ends up quite blurry. A few examples of what I'm referencing:
Before the issue started, my camera would normally focus these photos with sharpness and clarity... it wasn't bothering me much when it first started but now, it just seems to be getting worse as time goes on. I've cleaned it and even the Apple Store staff took a look at it when I was attempting to pair my new Apple Watch in the store - they breezed by it because eventually, my watch did pair, but only after 10 minutes of fiddling with it. Has anyone had this issue before? Am I on my own without Apple Care for this? Really not sure if it's software or hardware related. Just at a loss with the entire thing. Any insight would be appreciated!
