iPhone Not Recognizing Camera I have an IPhone 13 Pro Max. I have never had issues with it, have never broken it, or had to get anything replaced. Up until the other day, the phone has been just as good as it was the day I got it. With that being said, in the span of a few hours my rear cameras stopped working. The main lens still works, but the two specialty lenses don’t work. I am only able to zoom in and out between 1x - 5x. In my settings it says that the camera is an “Unknown Part” rather it saying “Genuine Apple Part,” but again I have never had any problems or replacements with this phone. I’ve reset my phone multiple times, and it hasn’t fixed it. What am I able to do in order to fix it?

After the iOS update, the camera stopped working Greetings to all. There was a problem: iPhone 14 Pro after updating to iOS 26 as soon as it came out, the 0.5x camera stopped working. More precisely, when you enter the camera, the 0.5x mode will immediately disappear (that is, you can see its millisecond) the same when switching the mode. An error about an unknown camera part popped up in the settings. The phone is new, it hasn't been opened, it hasn't fallen, everything is in the factory, I bought it from the officials in 22. I decided to wait for a new patch. Updated to 26.1 via iTunes with data reset. It didn't help. I repeat, everything worked before 26 iOS. After the breakdown, temporarily or constantly switched to s23, that is, nothing happened to the phone during this period. Please help and understand this topic. Thank you in advance!!
