iPhone 12 mini camera not focusing after update

I noticed my iPhone 12 mini's camera stopped focusing after one of the iOS 17 updates. At first I thought it was dirty so I cleaned, cleaned, cleaned. Now I'm at iOS 17.6 and the problem still persists. The good news is that the battery is not getting super hot and my phone is not dying like it used to when Apple wanted to force people to upgrade. Unfortunately, "Apple", I like my small ergonomic phone which I can use one hand to manage, does not hurt my hand, and does not cause my fingers to feel as if I have arthritis when I am typing/searching so please, either make an iPhone 15 Pro mini or send a fix in the next iOS upgrade.
