If the shadows are still not in good quality it might just be that your ios devise cannot handle any higher quality with out crashing or overheating. also high quality shadows drains battery way faster.

so i would recommend not having all of the shadow and graphic quality up that high.

The number of "Shadow Distance" is too small.

I believe that @Zeratu meant that the Shadow Distance is too high. It's being stretched over too far of an area. Try reducing it to 10-40.
