a day or so after the update 8 on iPhone 5, my front camera stopped working. Tried update 8.0.02 still same problem. The flash does not work either or the flash light feature. I tried everything from reseting from settings to a hard reset and nothing. Apple said to restore in iTunes to a new iPhone setting and after wasting an hour, Nothing. I tried using third party apps and they only recognize the front camera. Rear camera still working, have nervier dropped my phone so its not a hardware problem. I am very disappointed in apple, since Steve's passing there is no more quality control. 😟


Tried looking everywhere and it looks like I am not the only one, has anybody been able to fix this problem. I doubt genius bar will help as this is a software issue.
