iPhone 13 Camera Freezing

When using the camera app on the iphone 13 (in both photo and video modes), the camera will pause / disconnect every few seconds, then blur to show that it has been idsconnected, then come back to normal again. This cycle repeats, with no opportunity to take a photo, as it won't allow the photo button to be pressed.

This issue seems to only work in the non-selfie mode, and works just fine in the selfire mode. This issue also appears to be persistent with only the built-in Camera app on the iPhone 13, and works correctly on all other software using camera (Snapchat, Instagram, Whatsapp). I am on iOS 18.7.1, and haven't updated to iOS 26 just yet, but if that could be the issue, I will update.

(ignore the white scribble, mirror was there)
