After the launch of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, some early adopters of the devices noticed that the lens of the main rear camera shakes uncontrollably in third-party apps with camera capabilities like Snapchat, TikTok and Instagram, resulting in a shaky video. . The issue doesn’t seem to affect the built-in camera app.
Issues reported by users via TwitterAnd redditAnd Thank you tickAnd MacRumors-Foren However, with iPhone 14 Pro models starting to go on sale on Friday, it’s unclear how widespread or underlying the problem is. The iPhone 14 Pro models feature second-generation optical image stabilization on the main lens, and it’s possible that the stabilizer is working due to a software bug, but that’s just speculation.
YouTuber Luke Miani says he encountered the issue on one of the iPhone 14 Pro Max devices he tested. Miani shared a video of the problem, which caused the device’s main lens to shake uncontrollably, and said the mishap caused the lens to later fail to focus properly when used in the camera app. Miani said he took the iPhone to an Apple Store and traded the device for a new one.
If the problem is caused by a software bug, Apple may implement a fix in iOS 16.1 beta We’ve reached out to Apple to find out if they’re aware of and/or investigating the issue, but the company has yet to respond to our request for comment.
Until the issue is resolved, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max owners should refrain from opening the camera in apps like Snapchat, TikTok and Instagram if they are concerned about possible damage to the rear camera system. We will share any additional information on this matter, including any response from Apple, as it becomes available
