Poor text quality and emoji I never had any issue with Apple ever with the products that I purchased. This time, I got worried. I got my brand new Iphone XR Yellow 128 GB recently, and heck I could not sleep last night! I can very clearly see blurry text. It is in almost every app. On yahoo mail app, on settings app, etc. Even from a normal distance, one can notice that text is blurry. It is not sharp as is sharp on iphone 6, 4 etc. Rather it is terribly blurry. By blurry I mean to say that I can notice small blurr (as if pixels are breaking out) around the edges of alphabets. I have seen some other people posted this problem too, and one reply was that Apple might fix this issue in software update or Apps will update to optimize content for Iphone XR. Neither has happened so far. Am I the only one experiencing this problem or is it common to all iphone XRs?

iPhone 14 Pro - Text Jitter/Glitch/Jumping in some apps Hi there, I was wondering if anyone had noticed the text jittering/glitching when scrolling in certain apps. I'd like to rule out it's an issue with the screen and just a software problem. To reproduce and test most easily: Turn dark mode on Use either Instagram / Spark ( mailing app ) Place your index finger to the right side of a text block, so the screen stays visible Move your index finger up and down repeaditly from top of the screen to bottom of the screen Check closely on the text and see if it jumps sometimes, in my eyes this is jitter / glitching of the text. I tested this on iPhone 13 Pro and the issue was not apparent there, however, it is on my iPhone 14 pro, running iOS 16.0.3, but was also there on 16.0.0. The issue is most apparent and easy to spot in Spark, but Insta also has it if you look for it closely. Other apps too, but I've given the most easy ones to look at. Dark Mode is suggested as it's made easier to spot the issue. Thanks in advance guys.

Why are the Video texts that I receive are blurry My husband and I receive the same video texts and we both have iPhones. He can watch them clearly but mine arrive looking blurry. This seems to be more common on videos received from an android. This has happened to me on my old iPhone and now on my new one. What’s the fix?

Hey hardik110,

We'd be happy to help out. It's difficult to know whether what you're seeing is expected or not though given that it's been the case since day one. Perhaps check your Display & Brightness settings and play around with the text size and see whether bolding the text makes any difference for you.

To do so go to Settings > Display & Brightness. For more info, check out: Adjust the display and text size on iPhone - Apple Support

We hope this helps out, but if not, you can reach out to Apple Support using this link: Get Support

Take care!
