Iphone XS, rear camera shows black screen after upgrading to ios 16 Hi, a month ago my iphone XS rear camera suddenly stopped working, after upgrading the software to ios 16. After a few days I decided to make a full reset and the camera came back on, but it stopped working again in a few days. I tried making a full reset again, but it didn't work. I thought it was a problem only with ios 16, but every upgrade I installed was useless. My front camera works just fine, only the rear camera and the flashlight don't work and my phone has never fallen on the ground. I tried to contact an Apple technician and he told me that it's very likely that it's a hardware problem. Can you tell me what should I do? Thank you really much.

camera showing black screen good evening, i woke up to my iphone 13 camera showing a black screen when i open the front camera on the camera app, snapchat, Instagram and bereal. thankfully, the back camera works fine though. the front camera was completely fine the night before that. I'm unsure whether the defect is from the hardware or the software of the mobile.I fear taking it to a random mobile store to fix it as we don't have any Apple stores in Amman, Jordan because that will make me lose my warranty, which is valid until October 2023. i don't know what to do in my case. how can i fix my camera or what solutions can i resort to? I'm unsure when i will be flying to the UK to visit an apple store to fix it. could be in September which is a long time from now. any recommendations? please help. thank you

You didn't say where you live but if your local Apple stores or authorized repair centres are closed then contact Apple using the 'Get Support' link at the top right of this page.
