iPhone: camera is out of focus - it may be because of it

First, take a look at the camera and make sure it is clean.

• A microfiber cloth is best for cleaning the lens. Alternatively, you can also use a damp kitchen towel.
• If you can see dust or dirt inside the camera, contact your local Apple store to solve this problem.
• With the newer iPhone models (6s or 6s Plus), any additional parts, such as covers, cases or the like, can cause blurred images.
• Therefore remove these additional parts and then take a photo. If the pictures are sharp again, you should replace the additional part.
• To ensure that the focus is set correctly, tap on the person or subject you want to photograph. The camera should then automatically focus on the selected subject.
• While the autofocus is aimed at the selected person or subject, you should hold the device still and keep the position.
