iPhone 6 plus rear camera blurry/wobbly (not focusing)

iPhone 6 plus rear camera is not focusing, won't remain stable and is blurry no matter how still I get whether video or picture. Automatic or manual focus not working either. Front facing camera works fine. Seems OIS isn't doing anything but making it worse.

Here is a photo(below) taken while completely still that never focuses automatically or manually and is vibrating vertically as if taken in motion.

Videos become wobbly and out of focus. Link: https://vid.me/Nxh

Steps I have taken:

1. Closed all apps and forced reboot of phone.

2. Reset all settings.

3. Restored phone to latest 8.1 software and set up as new phone.

Results still the same even if I use 3rd party camera/video app.

How did you find this out? I bought my iPhone 6+ in 2014, and the camera stopped working a couple months ago. But just got the new 7+, bc I was tired of not having a camera ph that didn't work! :-(

Can I still get a new iPhone 6+, since it's a defect issue?

I haven't taken it to see if it will cost me because the closest Apple places are at least an hour away. A local shop can repair it for $80 but it would void my Apple care

Sounds like you bought a used phone. This was an early defect. Mine was replaced twice under warranty. The only way to fix it is to take it in and replace it. You'll have to pay in all likelihood.

I went to use my camera today and its not working at all, fuzzy pictures, like i'm walking by them as I take the photo. Just got the phone for Christmas.
