Restore the OIS and AF functions back to normal.

Does removing magnetic accessories from iPhone restore the OIS and AF functions back to normal? Or is there permanent damage? I'd like to use magnetic accessories when not engaged in photography, but I also do not wish to do "gradual" or permanent damage to these stabilizing features.

iPhone 14 Pro Max

Hello Hedgehog182,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 


Are you having an issue with your camera? If so, did removing magnetic accessories resolve this? If not, we recommend the steps as list here: If the camera or flash on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch isn't working - Apple Support These steps may resolve your concerns.

Remove case, accessory, or film and test

  1. Remove any case, accessory, or film that might block the camera or flash or that places a magnet near the camera.
  2. Test the camera by trying to take a photo.
  3. Test the LED flash:
    1. Try the flashlight in Control Center on your iPhone or Control Center on your iPad. On an iPhone X or later or an iPad, swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen. On an iPhone 8 or earlier, swipe up from the bottom edge of any screen.
    2. Tap the Flashlight button Flashlight icon.
