Anyone elses Iphone 12 Pro max rear camera appearing black in the Camera App ? Also the flashlight has stopped working which makes me suspicious, front camera seems fine, it hasn't been dropped or anything and everything worked fine for a couple days until this afternoon. Wondering if I'm maybe missing some weird setting with the new camera features that is making everything black or disables the camera module ?
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14
No one wanted to believe a brand new phone wasn’t working either, they all wanted to think it was user error, if you have a store close enough from wherever you bought it , I’d try to get it swapped for a new one asap. Over the phone they all tried to get me to send it in for repair under warranty. If you get on with AppleCare they can remotely run a hardware diagnostic to definitively test the rear module.
Trash camera app. Then add camera back from Widget. Worked for me
im having the same problem but it seems to be with the flash on when I try to record a video
This surely worked for me. Had issues with the app and deleted it later added it and it worked.
My brand new iPhone 12 Pro Max camera sometimes does not work at all and I get a blank black screen. Why?!!!!!
I just had this problem but with my iPhone 12 mini.. front and rear is blacked out... reboot does the trick and I hope it won’t occur again..
I agree
Woke up and used my camera to find that my screen was black. The phone was never dropped. Can I get warranty for that?
Yes. Mine started acting over the weekend. I got a replacement yesterday & literally the same issue now with the replacement
It seems a common problem but my replacement has lasted months now, plus I’ve never seen anyone have it happen 3 times 😂
good luck
And what did Apple say when you took your phone and showed it to them? You have a full one year warranty on your phone. Use it.
Thanks. I don’t want a “refurbished” replacement that also doesn’t work. I see that complaint posted as well. For that price, I should get a brand new replacement.
Have you had this same problem with your phone?
No, I haven't. But since you have an issue, and we are only users, the best advice we can offer is to take it to Apple for evaluation and options.
It happened within my forest couple days of hatching these brand new phone.
Hi! Same thing happened to me just now. Were you able to solve it?
