iphone 6 camera not working

I just got the iphone 6 today and my camera's are not working. All I see is a black screen and I can not take a picture. Is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

iPhone 6, iOS 8

My iPhone 7 is only a month old, al of a sudden when l opened my camera app (the front camera works but the main back camera does not) screen looks all black or sometimes shows a blurry copy of last pic I took with the front camera. I have restarted the phone but "so far no joy"

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

What can I do?

Not sure this applies to all queries here about black screen on camera, but it just happened to me. I reset the phone holding home and power (screen went a weird greenish/black). Then figured that maybe it had been affected by my being out in the cold. I put phone near a radiator. When I powered it again, camera came back. Extreme heat and cold I think affect capabilities.

I have the same problem. No camera or torch! It is a fault on the main board and unfortunately for me my phone is just out of warranty and apple will do nothing to help except sell me a new phone.


My phone is in pristine condition as I am not a heavy user. Maybe if I used it more this would have happened within the warranty period!


Now I have an option. Upgrade to an iPhone 7 at a cost or move away from apple products altogether!! My last 5 handsets have been apple and I am disappointed in their customer service especially as this fault is not one caused by the user!!


I hope you manage to resolve yours more easily than the nightmare I have had with apple!!

I have the same problem. It is really frustrating because this is not the only problem I have with this phone. It dies at 60 percent sometimes and when I try to take selfies the screen just goes black. On Snapchat the camera doesn't turn at all. If you try to turn the camera around for a while it just takes me to the home screen. How can I fix this???
