Iphone 12 mini Camera glitch

Hey Guys,


Since the last two iOS updates, my iPhone 12 mini has had an issue with the rear camera. The camera was not focusing at all (in the camera app) and made weird static noises and glitches in third-party apps. I found only one video on YouTube that had the same problem. The latest iOS update (17.5.1) did not solve this problem either. Maybe someone can give a solution or advice for this problem.

First, try a forced restart. If that doesn't work take it to an Apple store to have it looked at.


• Press and quickly release the volume up button

• Press and quickly release the volume down button

• Press and hold the side button.

• When the Apple logo appears, release the button.

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have it diagnosed.
