Why does my iPhone take such crappy pictures?

I got it when it first came out, it's the iPhone 4S. I don't know why, but it seems that everyone else with the same iPhone takes way better pictures, and the quality is much higher. All my pictures are blurry. Why?

Have you tried focusing your pictures by clicking where you want it to focus?

Make sure the camera is clean and that there's no dust. If you have a screen protector on, make sure it's not got an air bubble in it. The front camera sucks btw and is grainy. You could also go to apple.com/support or make an appt at the Genius Bar if it persists

People seem to ask this question fairly often… My main response to you is go in to the apple store and see If your lens is scratched or anything they will replace it for you!

1.) Make sure the picture is focused
2.) Clean the lens cover on the back of the iPhone
3.) The volume up button on the side of the iPhone doubles as a shutter when the Camera app is open, so using this instead of pressing the screen should help reduce vibration of any kind.
4.) Make sure there's plenty of lighting where you are attempting to take a photo.

  • Why is my wifi being crappy? Every night when I come home my iPhone will not connect to my Wi-Fi, but if you turn on the laptop my Wi-Fi will connect on my phone? (The Wi-Fi on my laptop automatically connected when I turned it on) I'm wondering why it is doing this and what I can do to fix the problem without having to turn my laptop on every time I want to connect to the Internet?
  • Why does the Iphone 5 Camera take such odd selfies? The photos come out looking a bit scary. Even some pics I have had taken from a distance. Like. That doesn't look like me at ALL?! And yet the mirror pics look alright even nice in my view. what is the deal. My mom said the same thing about selfies with her Iphone 5. I don't have an Iphone (or smartphone) but considering getting a newer model.
  • Why does the FBI have such a hard time cracking iPhone encryption. Why don't they just use the spy agencie's methods of using spyware? All you need is their phone number, and a cheap piece of software and you have access to everything on the phone (including deleted info) Why make a huge scene about it, when there are much easier ways to bypass lock screen encryption? You don't even need access to the phone, it can remotely install with just one phone call to the number too… Just saying, if the FBI really wanted in, it would be very easy
  • Why does my video have such bad video quality? I uploaded my video to the computer and it had great video quality, then I uploaded it to Facebook and YouTube and It looked horrible. It there anything I can do to change that? Save it a different way or something? I see all these YouTube videos that have been filmed by iPhone's and they have great quality. Shouldn't my 14mp camera have even better!
