iPhone XR camera starts shaking and makes a weird sizzling or crackling sound

Has anyone experienced this for no apparent reason? I haven't dropped it, recently added apps or updated before it started doing this. When I open the camera (rear facing) it's focuses initially and then within seconds starts shaking and I can hear a faint sizzling sound.

I've tried all of the common fixes except factory reset and reload, I guess that's next but I'm not that optimistic it will fix it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

iPhone XR, iOS 15

My phone has had this problem since the day i bought it. It has to be the auto focus because if i put the camera in SLO-motion its totally clear no shaking or noise. See if its clear for you as well

Oh dear. Only Apple can get hold of genuine parts, I don't believe many Amazon sellers are authorized repairers. Hopefully they only gave it a polish else if they fitted a fake battery Apple will not be interested in fixing it.

I would not touch a used phone with a long pole myself.
