So the longer the fix takes, the more iPhones are likely to require repairing or replacing on Apple’s tab. This is a fast response from Apple, but timeliness also appears crucial after YouTuber Luke Miani revealed that the camera shake in his affected iPhone 16 Pro eventually caused the camera to break, and it was replaced under warranty at an Apple store. Apple has yet to comment on the issue, but I have reached out for comment.Ġ9/20 Update: speaking to Bloomberg, Apple has confirmed it is working on a fix for the camera flaw in iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models ( full story now here ), which makes the phone’s primary camera lens physically shake when used in third-party apps.Īpple states that the fix - presumably in the form of iOS 16.0.2 (after iOS 16.0.1 was released exclusively for iPhone 14 models) - will arrive next week. Whether or not Apple can fix this in software remains to be seen, but for affected users, it will be a race against time before the shaking physically breaks the primary camera. On taking the phone to an Apple store, the device was replaced. “It became very difficult for it to focus and eventually just wouldn’t focus on things that are close, even in the stock camera app.” “Worst of all, we started to notice damage to the actual camera itself,” explains Miani. Moreover, this violent shaking can have a lasting impact.

YouTuber Luke Miani (below) has demonstrated the fault, which occurs when using the primary camera in third-party apps. Moreover, the fault appears to be causing physical damage to the lens. Picked up by 9to5Mac, reports are flooding in from owners that the model’s new 48-megapixel primary camera cannot shoot photos and videos in third-party apps like Instagram, SnapChat and TikTok. In the meantime, I would strongly advise owners of older iPhones to opt for iOS 15.7 rather than iOS 16, which is currently a dumpster fire for iPhones of all ages.Ġ9/19 Update: More problems are being reported for iPhone 14 Pro models. I will update this post when/if I receive a reply. ![]() I have reached out to Apple for clarification of what iOS 16.0.1 contains and the contradictory information in the leaked memo. “‘Connect to Mac or to a PC with iTunes’ in the initial iOS onboarding process when prompted to connect to a Wi-Fi network and then return to the previous screen and try again on Wi-Fi until the activation goes through successfully,” MacRumors quotes the report as saying. In an internal Apple memo seen by MacRumors, Apple acknowledges the activation issues and states “there are no current official fixes and that support staff should ‘not create a repair for the issue’." The recommended course of action interally is also different:
