iPhone 12 Pro camera blurriness after iOS 18 update

25/11/2024

I bought this iphone 12 pro on 26/5/2024 and had only been using it for a couple of months. The camera blurry problem starts 3 months after using it. The problem is persistent for many times until I come across a post stating the settings for the camera. Then it’s been good but the camera blurry comes once in a while. But then now after updating to ios 18, the blurry is back. Almost all iphone 12 users are having the same existing problems.


As far as I know, dropping the phone from table top height shouldn’t mess the camera placement much. I mean, apple ads showed iphone can be use under extreme measures. I remember the ads with the lady being chased by bird while riding a bicycle and she tumbled over with the phone hitting the ground. If so, then why did the camera suddenly “loose” while only falling from coffee table height?

I can’t comment on an add I’ve never seen. But I have seen many iPhones take a fall. Even a relatively low fall can still misalign small internal components. Once misaligned the condition generally worsens as misaligned parts wear other components and the camera can no longer focus.


Have Apple examine your iPhone and give you a more precise explanation and an estimate for repair.
