Why does my iPhone 14 camera image quality degrade when zooming out (below 1x)?


I’m using an iPhone 14 that’s about 2 years old. Recently, I started noticing a strange issue with the camera.

When I take photos at 1x zoom, the pictures come out sharp and clear, as expected.

However, when I zoom out (e.g., 0.9x, 0.8x, etc.), the image quality drops drastically — the photos look pixelated and unclear, as if the resolution has broken down completely.

This issue appeared suddenly, and I’m not sure what caused it.

  • iPhone model: iPhone 14
  • iOS version: (You can fill in your current version, e.g., iOS 18.0.1)
  • Issue: Blurry/pixelated images when zooming out below 1x

Has anyone else experienced this or found a solution? Could it be a hardware lens issue, software bug, or camera setting problem?

Here are the images:
