iPhone 12 Pro Max Camera Freezing/Black

I have the same problems, device is only 1 month old. All fixed proposed which can be found on internet, some of them work but those are workarounds it should get fixed from the root cause, software/iOS I guess?

My less than two weeks old is doing the same thing. Pictures shows on photo then goes black. I missed taking pictures of a crime scene thanks to my new phone. I dud the reboot after reading these posts and now wonder how long before it stops allowing pictures again.

Totally the same for me! I noticed it before when I was using my powerbeats pro and my camera app was open it would lag, however, last night it went nuts! I was listening to spotify and I wanted to take a quick pic so I opened the camera app and the shutter button was completely unresponsive so I tried a couple more times and just gave up, swiped back to home screen and left the phone for about 15 mins, when I picked it up again and tried to open settings nothing happened, tapped the icon a few more times, still nothing.. so I tried to close all open apps and tried again, nothing.. tried other apps.. nothing, ok, tried to reboot it... nothing! hardware buttons dont work, couldnt even lock the screen! but it pulled up siri? so asked siri to open settings, no cant do that sorry!? lol ok, left the phone for another 15 mins and tried to reboot it again, nothing.. then just held the buttons pressed for ages and it tried to call emergency services after like 5 mins, cancelled the call and tried again and it worked finally! what a mess! I am now afraid to open the camera app.. Iphone Xr FYI

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

So I see I'm not the only one with this issue as well, I recently updated my iPhone 12 Pro Max and today I noticed my front camera was acting off on Snapchat so I tried it on Instagram and there too it just wasn't working. Finally I checked the camera app and the outer camera works just fine but the front camera just shows a blurry screen that freezes and switches back to the outer camera. I've restarted my phone twice and it's still the same issue.

I have exactly the same problem with my iPhone 12 Pro max...that every other respond has aswell...I am onto my 1st replacement phone and it still has the same issue....Apple what are you doing about this????....you can't ignore all these people's issues.

I am now looking to trade down, maybe to an iPhone 12 or less or demand a refund...and go back to my iPhone 7...after years of using Apple products...this is the first time that it has been this way....come up with a fix Apple.

I have similar problem, tried everything and nothing.

here is a video with my problem:

What is the Fix for above?

I have an iphone 12 Pro Max and have exactly the same issues. I bought it from Apple online. How do I contact a 'person' about exchanging or returning it. Is there a fix?

I am having the Same issue! I could scream. This is a lot of money for a phone that doesn’t work...🤬

Brand new 12 Pro Max and I’m having the black screen camera issue.

Did you have apple care +? Wondering if it’s worth getting for this reason? Can’t believe spent 1,200$ on a mew phone and have to deal with this!🤬

Same issue. Just a black screen. Doesn’t happen all the time but twice so far in the past few days. 14.3 and 12 pro max.
