iPhone 12 Pro Max Camera Freezing/Black

Just got the IPhone 12 Max Pro and the Camera keeps freezing with a black screen and only corrects with a phone reboot. This was a known problem in the IPhone 11 as well. I noticed it gets pretty warm running brokerage software and charging with OEM cord. I really miss Steve Jobs he made sure the roll outs were flawless. What’s up Apple?

Now i am 100% sure IT IS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM. At work i am using my old Iphone Xs. Today while painting a boat (i am working in marina) i was listening some music on my Airpods. I decided to take some pictures of progress in painting so i did, when taking photos i observed that camera works very laggy and i thought „on wait, same symptoms as on my new 12) so i decided to switch to video mode (that usually kills my camera app in 12) and guess what? MY CAMERA CRASHED, screen went black displaying only swipe bar at the bottom. My phone glitched so much that even my bluetooth went off, music stopped playing and i had do reconnect my Airpods. I have never had any problems with my Xs in past 2 years. I am sure that this is something with ios 14.

I notice this too it is SO annoying. I have noticed this issue with my previous phone the iPhone 11 Pro Max. The phones will randomly stop loading videos despite me watching them all day. I have to click on the video to start it instead of it automatically playing like with the for you page on tik tok for example. My camera also does not load. I get the black screen I have to completely restart the phone. Apple has just been a pain the butt these last couple of years. Nothing seems to work correctly even turning the phone back on is an issue as when pressing the power button it have to hold and release it about three long times and within that time the apple logo flashes quickly and disappears. I decided to research this because I honestly knew I couldn’t be alone

I have the same problem with my camera going black, freezing up. I have been in an important moment and missed the shot several times! The only fix for the camera is rebooting the iphone. Another thing that I have never noticed before is while talking on the phone.. I sometimes take a picture to send to whomever I’m speaking to.. it will not let me take a picture while I’m on the phone.. which is something I have never had a problem with. I hope someone is listening to us!

I have a standard Iphone 12 and old Xs. Camera crashes every day or two on 12, only restart helps. Also noticed simmilar issue on my old Xs, i have never had problems with camera in 2 years of using this phone. I think it is a ios 14 problem.

I have a brand new iPhone 12 pro max that did the same. Called apple yesterday. Spent the WHOLE day on the phone. Hardware OK. Soft reset - no help. Hard reset to back up and erase all data on phone. Fortunately did not send the old phone back (past experience -lost $210!). Restore - now works, but lost a ton of data. What a mess for a new release.

I have the same issue but with the 12 pro (not Max). It’s a couple of times a week and a soft reset usually fixes it. It is the most disruptive glitch I’ve experienced because it seems to freeze up the whole phone. Also it becomes warm pretty quickly when this is going on. I hope it is an iOS issue and is prioritized for fixing because it really takes away from the experience of using an otherwise great camera.

OK. I spent two valuable days out of my weekend last week. They reset. Then we hard reset and lost a lot of my data. Fortunately, I had not sent back my old iPhone. Now I am down $210. This week - guess what? Black screen - freeze - blurr. By the way, our cheap Samsung - GREAT!!!. I was going to call again today, but really cannot afford to lose another day

Yes! I have noticed it’s warm also.. the phone is unusable! I have been at several occasions needing to get the photo.. it freezes .. sometimes it jerks then freezes then goes black. I called and they had me do a restore from my laptop.. I haven’t taken any pics yet .. we will see.

Now they want me to do a restore via iTunes. I have already wasted 48 hours. I'll pass for now. I noticed that if one wipes the lenses with one's fingers, it clears up. I am sure it is a lens hardware problem. One needs to do an itunes restore before they will exchange the phone
