Purple line on iPhone 12 camera

The vertical line looks like a hardware issue. Did you drop the phone? Try to turn it off for 10 seconds. if it doesn't solve the issue back up your phone then make a hard reset or software update your phone with iTunes.

If the two procedures don't resolve your issue, you might have a defective camera.

Hope this helps.
