Has anyone received the message “camera unknown part” when the phone was purchased from Apple and has never been repaired?

Has anyone received the message “camera unknown part” after upgrading to iOS 16, even though the phone was purchased from Apple and has never needed or have repaired and the camera functions perfectly?

Anyone else having an issue with iPhone cameras? Has anyone else experienced an issue where after a reboot, the iPhone gives a non-genuine camera warning? This has happened 2 times to me in less than a year, really frustrating considering I have to go all the way up to Apple to get it fixed, or have very minimal camera features. I could only find a couple other people with this issue, I use a iPhone 13 Pro.

iPhone 14 pro camera says unknown part I have an iPhone 14 pro, very well cared for, never have had any parts replaced. I got a random notification on my phone stating my camera had an unknown part. All my software updates are up to date. Camera seems to be functioning fine. Why did this randomly happen? Do I need to replace my camera? Do I need to report a software issue? Any information and help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Hello,

Yeah, that message sometimes pops up and should eventually go away. The camera is still useable. See this:

Good luck.
