Unknown Part Unable to determine if your iPhone camera is a genuine Apple part.

I own a iPhone 13 pro, nerve get any repair but one day i received a notification about my camera "Unknown Part


Unable to determine if your iPhone camera is a genuine Apple part. This could be because the part is non-genuine or not functioning as expected, or the installation is incomplete." Can anyone please help and I also wanted to say that Apple is just playing with our money. Apple don't care about any of these issues

Same thing is happening to me and not only with the camera but battery and display too , the phone is NEW it has never been repaired.

If you are seeing that and you've never had anything replaced, it would indicate a hardware issue. You should contact Apple and have them run diagnostics.

I can’t see the battery health and that’s important to know.

No, really it's not. Maximum capacity tells you nothing actionable. The only times you need to look at it are if your phone isn't running correctly or if you're near the end of your warranty. In your case, you already know there is a problem with your phone. And, if the phone is new, it's still under warranty.

same here. i started having this issue in maybe december or january. right after my phone turned on from an update it showed an error message and the back camera wouldn’t work. it would open in a black screen. the camera works okay now but it always tries to tell me it’s not level and even opens in 2x now, everything is always so zoomed in. (maybe it did that part before and i’m just now noticing) but i think this is a way for apple to make us think our phones are messed up so we “upgrade” or “trade in” but im not interested in the new products 😅😅😅

I have had the same issue for months. Went to Apple and they said sorry you don't have apple care we cant do anything for you unless you pay $200 for a new camera. I have an iPhone 13pro max. I honestly think it’s Apple’s way of getting us to buy a new phone or pay for repairs. I did the recent update and I got .05 back on my camera briefly and then it started not working again. Super annoying. Do better

my iPhone 13 Pro is having the same problem but apple refused to fix it Bec it’s out of warranty!! Was there any resolution other than paying a lot of money for the malfunctions they created ?!!

Did they flat out refuse to fix it? Or did they tell you they would fix it but it would cost you money? If the latter, yes, that's what happens when something is out of warranty - you pay for the repairs.
