This problem is very disturbing. I tried to downgrade to 6.1.3 but no success. Itunes didn't allow me. There should be a workaround instead of restarting anytime(Restarting also doesn't work %100). Maybe it would also be nice to hear this will be solved in the next IOS release.

Does anyone know wheather there is a ticket about this issue?

I am having the same problem on my Iphone 5 which is out of warranty. It was working perfectly fine yesterday and then today randomly the back camera does not work but hte front does. If i try to switch to the back camera it freezes on me.


My contract is nearly up and due to the fact that Apple is taking no responsibility for this I will NOT be buying a new iPhone but will instead go with the GalaxyS4.

I have had this problem since the IOS 7 upgrade and have submitted the problem to Apple and have been watching the discussions. I am so completely disappointed with Apple that instead of purchasing another Ipad to use at work, I purchased a Surface. For me, an person that truly has had a long standing dislike for Microsoft and a close relationship with Apple since the mid 1980's, it took some real "lack of action" on Apple's part to drive me away. Giving my Ipad away to the grandkids, who don't like having a camera, and replacing that unit with a different product like and android or another Surface.


Thank you Apple.....Not!
