iPhones 16 Pro Max Camera Issue

Camera transition between lenses are noticeably not smooth. Does anyone experienced this problem?

Is this a software issue?

If the camera malfunction were truly tied to iOS software itself, the impact would be widespread. Millions of iPhones running the same version would exhibit identical problems, and this forum would be flooded with reports and complaints from users across the globe. That is clearly not the case here. The absence of such large-scale disruption strongly suggests that the issue is not systemic, but rather isolated to your particular device. In other words, this points to a device-specific fault rather than a software-level flaw.
