Hi Folks,

being brand new to this Reddit forum I want you to ask whether I am alone with my problem regarding the iPhone 13 pro. Mine is one month old, bought new, looks totally brand new, kept safe in an Otterbox Defender case. I never dropped it. The issue I am experiencing is the following. Whether in the standard or RAW setting, wether night mode is turned on automatically or switched off, I am not able to set the focus manually on the Tele lens. I am coming from the 12 Pro Max and never had this weired issue with manually setting the focus and the cam not following this. I am not talking about the macro mode, just to make it sure. Already made a soft reset, even a complete reset via iTunes (Apple support told me to do so). Also, focusing does not work properly within third-party camera apps like Halide or ProCamera. The problem is, that I am not able to verify whether this issue has been occurring before the update to iOS 15.1. Regardless of the lens I use, wide or tele, focusing definitely is not as accurate as it was with the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Is it a bug? Not using any camera lens protection, issue als occurs while shooting bare (without case). Would be nice to hear from you folks what’s the deal here with my device as Apple could not find any hardware issue while having a chat (and remote system check) with them.
