My screen flickers/wobbles when the camera app is used and there is a rapid clicking sound internal to the phone almost like the focus is working overtime. I’ve rebooted several times and lenses are clean.

iPhone XS Max, iOS 14

iPhone 11 Pro Max making clicking sound and image is shaking (as if trying to focus) Similar to this question, I too am having issues with the camera on my iPhone 11 Pro Max. As of today, the camera started to start clicking (seemingly hardware clicking, not software clicking) and the image (not the captured picture but the viewfinder image) keeps shaking, as if trying to focus. It only appears to happen when I focus on certain things. At my desk, it does not happen when pointing at my keyboard. When pointing the camera at a fruit bowl a meter away, it starts to happen. To make it stop, I shut the camera app. It happens regardless of which of the three lenses selected or whatever recording mode is selected. Anyone had this issue? It's a hassle for me to get to an Apple Store to go to the Genius Bar. Would prefer a home fix. Running latest iOS version, 13.3.1.

Camera flickering on/off constantly iPhone 14 pro max My iPhone 14 Pro Max’s camera has been very odd for the last 3ish months. Every time I open the camera app the camera seems to be stuck in a constant loop of opening without staying on and not allowing me to take a picture. I have experience this multiple times with the only solution being to power down the device, although this is a temporary fix which seems to last only a few hours. things I have done that were unsuccessful in fixing the issue. cleaning the camera switching macro mode on/off resetting all settings Updating IOS to current version Turning on/off True Tone Anyone else having this issue?

Iphone 12 camera shake+noise Hello, my main camera becomes shaky & weird static noise appears, only when I zoom in. If I don't zoom in or use front camera all is normal. I've done basic things such as phone reset, my IOS is up to date, closed all Apps. No change for several days now. Is there anything else I should do before booking appt. with Apple Store for repair? Anyone else have this type of issue? thanks

Hi 4-22-21

We see you're having trouble with your camera. Does this issue persist with third-party apps that use the camera as well? Did the phone absorb any type of impact from a fall? It sounds like you may need to have your hardware evaluated. You can find out more information about service here: iPhone Repair and Service

Take care.

Thanks, we have narrowed it down to a hardware issue.
