I have this issue too. There is some focus breathing and then it fails to focus up close. Although if you switch to the ultra-wide or telephoto lens for macro shots, there isn’t a problem. Seems to be the only case with the wide angle? Hopefully a software update can address this.
Hi, no problems on my 12 Pro, holding the phone 3 to 6cm distance to the keyboard...
Here is another video showing the issue. I believe the easiest way to replicate this is by moving away and near some texts. Comparing my old iPhone 11 pro with 12 pro side by side, you can easily tell iPhone 12 pro struggles to focus as you move closer to an object. I tried this with both the default camera app and ProCam, so it's not an issue with the stock app itself.
well, good news is that it could be fixed with software update.... that is, if enough people write Apple Feedback reports. *hint hint*

I'd be so annoyed if my thousand dollar phone had this "little" issue.
