Is the iPhone 16 front camera positioned too far left, or is mine faulty?

has anyone else noticed the iPhone 16 front facing camera is far to the left? I’ll have the camera infront of my face and my head is further left than in the middle of the screen. I don’t know if this is a fault on my phone or the way the iPhone 16 is made

Purchase Apple Products from the Apple Online Store, Apple Retail Stores, and many Apple-authorized resellers and wireless service providers.



Expressing or conveying visual experiences effectively through these forums may be challenging. The underlying visual issue on your iPhone cannot be accurately diagnosed online. Factors such as your iPhone's specific settings, visual defects, and potential hardware problems cannot be assessed through this method. For more personalized and in-depth assistance, I recommend securing a Genius Bar Reservation and exploring the various support options provided by Apple.

When you encounter issues with your Apple devices, the Genius Bar at Apple Retail Stores is the go-to place for expert assistance. The Genius Bar is staffed by knowledgeable Apple employees, often referred to as "Geniuses," who can diagnose and resolve a wide range of hardware and software-related problems. To ensure personalized attention and a convenient visit, Apple provides the option to schedule a Genius Bar Reservation.

The camera on an iPhone 16 is not at the left of the screen. See this:

 Camera Control

The location of the camera would have no affect on where you appear on the screen for a selfie. You just need to move the phone relative to your face to ensure you are where you want to be before you take a photo.
