Camera Damage from Motorcycle Vibrations

So this has effected me pretty badly. My camera now constantly clicks while trying to auto focus and it never really achieves a good focus. Given that this motorcycle vibration related, what would the fix be for this issue on an iPhone 11 Pro Max?

Fixing camera after motorcycle vibration damage. Hi there. I hadn’t seen the warnings from Apple, and attached my iPhone 12 mini to my motorcycle handlebars and went for a pretty long ride. When I got back, the front camera vibrated violently and is now pretty unusable. Are there any fixes for this, or am I going to have to buy a new phone?

3x telephoto camera vibrating and blurry vision on default iphone camera I’m using 13 pro max and my 3x telephoto camera vibrating when i move camera angle and I’m not using any third party camera app it’s iPhone stock camera. I guess its stabilisation bug. How can i fix that or is there any solution or some kind of update please let me know.

iPhone 12 Pro Max back facing camera vigorously shaking making sizzling noise when trying to focus I saw another thread on this situation and everyone had one thing in common that they had the phone mounted to a motorcycle. However, I have never mounted my phone to anything or even dropped my phone when this started happening. Went to Genius Bar today and I have to go back in a few days to have the camera replaced. Will this solve the issue? Someone said it was a stabilization issue. Will replacing the camera fix the stabilization issue? Thanks in advance for any help my camera is basically useless unless I’m using the front facing camera, extremely frustrated.

There is no fix. Once OIS, Optical Image Stabilization is damaged by heavy vibration, you'll have buy either an Out of Warranty phone or a new phone. What the article is suggesting you came here from is that ANY camera with OIS, which all the newer generation iPhones, Google Phones, Samsung phones have OIS systems. Heavy vibration from being mounted on a motorcycle can take a toll on the cameras.
