IOS26 breaking camera stabilization on iphone 12 mini
Not really a question, more of a statement.
Since updating to IOS26, my phone camera is mostly unusable and I am worried this bugs might eventually break the camera if I let it go for too long.
It seems to be the auto-stabilization from the camera that freeks out as soon as the camera app opens. Might also be the focus, but the sound and vibrations are so intense I doubt it is. When it hapens, focusing on something further away has worked stoping it from time to time but is not reliable and lately it seems to be working les and less
Also, switching to the 0.5 lens does not fix the issue.
I try and close the camera app as soon as possible when it occures.
I am really worry this sloppy bug might actually break the hardware and replacing the camera wont be an option then.
If Apple still made a mini phone, I would probably bite the bullet and upgrade, but they dont.
