Iphone 12 mini camera not focusing after iOS 17 update

I have the same issue. My camera was focusing perfectly before the last update (17.2.1)

I’ve been checking for updates to fix this bug, but nothing yet. :/

Same issue. Happened right after the update. It is not a hardware fix.

Same after updating to 17.1.2

I was chatting to Apple support online. I have appointment booked for Wednesday - I can fix my camera for $169 😂 „There were no issues reported to Apple with iphone 12 mini after upgrading to ios 17”

Shame we cannot downgrade the software 😏

Same issue with my phone. Just onto Apple and surprise surprise they are not aware of this issue….

anyone managed to get it fixed?

I also have the same issue. My girl and I FaceTime a lot, like everyday. The rear camera was working well last night, and when I tried using the camera today, the 1x feature gives me blurry pictures. The 0.5x and 2.5x works fine

I will share screenshots of two

17.3 has been out for a few days and still have the same issue.

So, with so many of us having the same problem, why is Apple pretending there is no issue?

I too had a perfectly working camera till the upgrade. I need it for work.

Hoping someone at Apple might be listening in to these conversations.

I live in a rural area, about 150kms from an Apple Store. Would be nice to think someone was caring about this problem…

That’s how great my photos are these days after the upgrade of ios 🙄

Nope repairs yet. I can’t take pictures anymore. I guess they want us to get a newer model.

We’d probably have more success “encouraging” Apple to find a free solution to this well-documented post update problem if we posted about this on a public forum, like Twitter or Facebook or Google reviews. Like Audre Lorde said, “the master’s tool will never dismantle the master’s house.”

Still wonky after 17.2.1

Wow, I’m glad I came here and looked up this issue. The same thing has been happening to my iPhone 12 mini since the last update. It makes it really hard to pay with a QR code and I really can’t take photos of my food anymore. I typically wait to make updates, but eventually Apple forces you to do them by making it so Face ID doesn’t work and other little annoyances. Any suggestions on how to get them to resolve this instead of profiting off of “fixing the hardware”?f

This did not work and it’s not a hardware issue.
