iphone 12 pro max camera issues

Hello! I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max.


So my problem is that if I shoot a picture in night mode I get a horizontal GREEN line on my picture. Does anyone else have this problem?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

Hi,


I got my phone replaced! The third time I went in they just replaced it because I had tried everything to fix the issue but it still kept coming up. Bring it into apple and they will replace it themselves, regardless of where you bought it from. As long as it is a genuine apple phone and it is within the 1 year warranty you have a right to replacement if the phone is doing something it shouldn’t. Bare in mind though, they will not replace it if it had any external damage like a cracked screen etc. so make sure it is on top shape. If you have apple care though, they will replace it for you even if it has external damage. You have 40 days after purchasing the phone to buy apple care.

It’s not a software issue first of all, it’s most definitely hardware. And in low light the phone uses the main camera to do a digital zoom instead of using the telephoto camera. That’s by design, probably because the bigger chip and faster lens on it is still better even then rather than using the slower telephoto lens and getting a noisier image. Try it out by holding the telephoto lens closed with your finger and switch between them. Only in bright conditions does it use the telephoto lens.
