I Phone XS Front Camera Bricked after IOS 15

Not sure if anyone else had this. The phone is immaculate, never had any screen work. Updated around Mid IOS 15, they Bricked face ID and the front camera. No subsequent updates corrected it. Just buy a new one or use without. It's pretty transparent what they did based on the forums.

iPhone 15 Pro Max front camera is black Hello! I activated my phone and realized my front camera is not working (black screen). Face ID and all other cameras are working fine. Has anyone else faced the same issue? My iPhone is updated to the latest version. It’s from Dubai, but it suits the region where I live. Probably the manufacturing defect? Thank you in advance.

iPhone 15 Pro front camera black screen. Recently, I made the decision to purchase an iPhone 15 Pro as an upgrade to my previous device. However, upon updating to iOS 18, I encountered an issue with the front camera. Despite my suspicions that this may be a result of the iOS 18 update, I have yet to substantiate this claim. While the Face ID and motion sensor functions are operating flawlessly, the front camera is experiencing a malfunction. When attempting to set up Face ID, the camera displays a black screen. Additionally, if I launch the camera app, it automatically switches to the back camera. If I attempt to revert to the front camera, it reverts to the back camera once more. This behavior is peculiar, as I have never encountered such an issue during my extensive usage of iPhones. I would be grateful if anyone with knowledge of this problem could provide guidance on how to resolve it.
