iPhone 5 camera not working after ios 7 update

The front camera works initially, but the rear camera shows a blurry image which then freezes the app. Several hard resets have had no effect.

I am having the same exact problem on iPhone 5 after upgrade. After switching to the rear camera, the Camera app freezes. After closing the app and a soft reset it will unfreeze the app, but the problem occurs again. Facetime will work with the front camera, but not the rear. Tried three hard resets, setting up as new phone, with no luck.

Unfortunately, I am having this issue as well.


I don't believe it's software related; this just happened while I was running iOS 6.1.3. Updated my iPhone 5 to 7.0 and it's still happening. On my second restore (DFU, setup as new), so let's see what happens. I think I'm going to have to trek 2 hours and get my phone replaced.


UPDATE: 2 restores later, and many resets later, no dice. However, the app performs worse on iOS 7 than it did 6. Strange.
