Shortly after launch, iPhone 14 Professional and iPhone 14 Professional Max customers began reporting a dramatic camera-related drawback when utilizing fashionable apps akin to TikTok, Instagram, Fb and Snapchat. When utilizing an affected app, trying to open the rear digicam ends in an uncontrollable ‘shaking’ of the digicam’s lens, accompanied by a worrying ‘rattling noise’.

In the event you’re unable to get an instantaneous change in an Apple Retailer, simply maintain tight and anticipate an replace, both from Apple immediately or within the particular person social media apps you utilize.
As a brief workaround, you’ll be able to take images with Apple’s built-in digicam app, which isn’t affected by the bug, and share pictures to social media from there,
