If hundreds of people are having this issue, Apple needs to address. Not us going in for a hardware issue to have a refurb given to us.
I have to restart my phone multiple times. I have also done full resets. The issue continues after awhile again. It’s clearly an Apple issue and they should be able to address with a software update or they recall them in my opinion. I haven’t even had mine for 6 months. It started a month after having it. Bought straight from Apple too.

Tried every single fix recommend (Macro on, Macro off, phone off, phone on, juggling kiwis, performing magic tricks, selling a kidney…nothing helps. And it’s so random as to when it happens. Days go with flickering camera screen then suddenly it works for a day then next day flicker. It def seems to be a broader issue that apple needs to address. I can’t see myself paying off my three year contract on this phone to not have a camera that works 😭
That’s what I do every time. But notice I said “every time.” It always happens again. It might be days or weeks later, but eventually the thing starts acting bonkers again. Definitely an issue apple needs to address still.
Update from earlier post about blinking camera…the new issue is that my IPhone is giving an error message that the camera “may not be an original component of the phone.” Everything is original as the day I purchased.
Anyone else having this issue?
I'm in agreement with this.
I don't want to take it in to get a refurbished phone. This is obviously an issue and I'm paying money for a device that has obvious hardware issues. I cannot maximize something that Apple guaranteed.
Apple needs to actually address this problem stat. The camera is integral. Everyone uses it. I can't even do my social media for my business. I can't facetime family members 1000 miles away from me.
It's not okay.
Come on Apple.
I recorded what it looks like but this won’t let me upload :(
I'm having the same problem. I think this is caused by the iOS 16.3.1 update. I don't think they'll send out a fix until update 16.4 which comes out by the end of March.
Good call. Just restarted my phone and it's fine now.
That worked for me too, just restart and it will go away!
Restarting my iPhone was the only thing that fixed mine.
Thanks had the same problem and had tried all the same things. The old turning it off and on again worked, thanks!
I’ve had this happen twice - have to restart my phone UGH!!
no ... :-(
you got to restart/shut down your phone, that should work. i just did it and it fixed my camera :)
