Yeah as that video says the minimum focus distance has changed with the 14 pro max camera so unfortunately it’s not an issue it’s by design

Just because you haven’t experienced the problem, doesn’t mean there’s no issue. There is definitely an issue with the focus. Not my first iphone.

there is a minimum focus distance requirement with the 14 pro max, no issues here, if you can't take that might as well trade back for iPhone 13 Pro Max.

The video only explains one aspect. There is still an issue where the focus locks on to the closest object, and focuses on that. For example, taking a picture out the window of a car. It focuses on the dashboard. This has never been a problem before. Yes, I know my options of trading down models. I still say it’s a screw up.

The other issues is focus points. The main camera will use a point of an object and blur the back ground. So when you zoom in on and object the focus points may not be part of the end picture. Play around with 9+ on the zoom

Nothing more frustrating, when they tell you that you’re the only one that has this problem.

You are not the only one. Look at every issue with an apple device. It starts off with a few, then more, then a software update, more phone sold more problems. Then the ones that don’t have the issue step aside and ignore the threads discussing the issue

Only option is to downgrade or just live with it until iPhone 15
