Is my camera broken? It was working fine not long ago until now, it’s showing a purple line and artifacts whenever I use the camera on any app. When I go close up, it’s high quality but it’s foggy zoomed out.
I have the latest iOS version and the iPhone 16e.

I think that this looks like a hardware problem. Do you live close to an Apple store? If not, you can send it in.

I got one of those, too, but I've never needed to figure out what it means. I'd say, talk to them first, I guess.
