Iphone 16 pro max grainy, dark, pixelated camera quality

I have recently traded in my Iphone 13 Pro max for the Iphone 16 pro max and I regret it lol.


The camera quality is awful to say the least, pictures are grainy, dark, pixelated and just so off. I have already been to the Apple store and exchanged the phone in the hope of improvement but this is the same. Does anyone have any suggestions at all? I have played around with the settings and it is soo rubbish. I wish I never upgraded and this just feels like the biggest waste of money!

Apple fix this!!!!!!!!

Same issue when taking portraits or any pictures and zooming in for details. The images look grainy in the same camera, but in the 13 Pro Max, the quality is significantly better. I’ve tried adjusting various settings, but nothing seems to make a difference.
