The new cameras have a farther focus distance than the old ones. Something like 6-7 inches i think.
Got a tip for us?

and sometimes people will be candid, but I suspect most people even if a thousand customers have come in with the same issue will say 'nah I havent seen it much' to avoid poking the anger bear even more and get arm chair advice from the plebs 'how it should be done' and how much money they spend, as if front line retailer workers dictate these sort of things.
Oh hell no. I did more tests with the main camera app and it’s seeing double. This is definitely defective and it’s definitely hardware.
So it should switch to the ultrawide lens in this case ?
Which it is not doing. (API issue ?)
Exactly. Pawns on the chess board that see the reports of issues first and tend to find the 'fix' for said issues last.
Funny. Or genuinely sad. It means their in-house testers aren’t even doing the most cursory testing of the hardware as they develop software for it. This is probably a result of remote teams (across the globe not working from home) doing different development tests but using an emulator to test software vs using an actual hardware sample.
Apple has always been extremely tight fisted with their development samples but I think they’re spreading themselves too thin at this point and need to establish a better protocol.
I would assume the folks at Apple testing the new hardware were specifically ONLY testing 1st party apps. I don't think this has anything to do with a "WFH Scenario", as others seem to want to point out. I'm sure the WFH folks were also only told to test 1st party Apple Apps.
Same here. You are not going to get the same kind of quality for the same price if it is made in USA. The phone, if it is made in USA, might put Apple in a weaker position when it comes to competitiveness in price. (In other words, the phone might cost Apple more to make thus the consumer will need to pay more). That is one of the many reasons why lots of manufacture jobs "disappeared".
Another item of concern is the design of the product. If you have a crappy design, you will get crappy product regardless of where it is made.
I'm leaning more towards this situation. This could be not identifying or making clear who to test for and a broad selection of use cases. Per my original comment, considering how popular these apps are, you'd think these types of bugs would've been caught although maybe it's an issue with the app developers and their coding.
I don’t want to upload anything. Is it normal? When the camera changes you can see double for a second and how the camera is focusing. This didn’t happen to me in my 13 Pro

Why hasn't Apple issued any response yet? I'm sure this was kicking around Apple this weekend, and now today. I have to believe they've figured out the problem, and it must not be software. Delay like this suggests they know it's hardware and are determining prevalence, what they'll have to do about it, and the ramifications.
Wouldn't surprise me at all if this ends up in a camera module replacement for all 14 pros, and I wonder how quickly that could happen.

Hmm could it be because of the raw setting you have. That double image does seem weird
anyone contemplating exchanging. It be nice to know if there was a way to see if it ruined the camera.
Just to be clear, it doesn’t stay that way. It focuses after a second but it seems like something is off
That be nice to know yes.
Had it for one second with the app procam.
Another thing when I first openend procam the phone did a reboot
When you point at something close or far to you the camera changes automatically to focus. If you point to something close it uses one camera and if you point to something far it uses another. So when I change the thing I’m pointing from far to close or close to far the camera changes and this happens where I can see double for a second and the it focuses but it doesn’t look quite right after it focuses anyway.
I disabled it and went back to factory settings, still does the same thing. Also it started shaking for 2 seconds when I opened Snapchat and if I open instagram it makes a noise.
If i get too close say 6" or so it wont focus. On the native camera up it switches to the macro lens and focuses up close.
