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

I too just started having the exact same issue with the rear focusing camera on my iPhone 6Plus. Have reported my S/N device to Apple and am ready to bring it to a local Genius bar for a full replacement ASAP. Not a happy camper at all having missed all the Thanksgiving holiday photo opportunities....😟

Same issue here. I'm gonna call Apple Care

So I had rebooting and dropped call problems and reset my phone to factory defaults. I didn't restore from backups and my phone (6+128) has been more stable and only dropping calls once in a while. Then a week or two ago, the camera started having the jitters (blurry photos) like the example above. In addition, photos sometimes have wavy results too (attached). I have an appointment tomorrow to have it replaced. I'm disappointed. This reminds me a little of the PowerBook 5300, which had issues, but only a few relative to those sold; seems the same here. Potentially millions sold, but a few thousand with problems (?). I hope my replacement is one of the good ones this time.

I think I have a similar issue, with my iPhone 6+ 64GB, though mine seems much more minor compared to the wavy, double-visioned pictures on this thread

The last photo I took that turned out fine was a panorama last weekend

This evening I went to take a photo of a room for an online listing and the camera simply won't autofocus. Shots of something close (<30cm) seem to look ok but the autofocus still doesn't work.

I can't hear any clicking in the lens if I hold it close to my ear, so it may or may not be the OIM issue everyone else is having. I've rebooted my phone, quit the camera app etc but I haven't done any software restore. As much as it pains me, I'll give that a go now.

I'm in New Zealand and bought the phone from the NZ Apple online store. There are no Apple Stores in NZ so I guess I'll have to call them up tomorrow and see what happens. The issue with no Apple Stores in NZ is you send your phone to a third party authorized repairer and they have to diagnose the problem, meaning you don't have your phone while they are doing so. Then they'll send it to Sydney, and they send you a new phone. At least, that's been my earlier experience with an iPad and an iPhone previously

An update to my post above. The software restore didn't improve things

BUT

After wiping and reinstalling iOS, then skipping through all the setup screens to get to the camera, for about 30 seconds I had complete control. The camera focused without any issues. But after that 30 seconds or so, the problem presented itself again. After installing my backup, I had no camera control at all, so the problem persists, and it'll be a call to Apple in the morning.

Same problem here, unfortunately I haven't been able to take pictures with my brand new and madly expected toy 😟

I got the same problem here in Thailand. I brought iphone6 plus 64GB from USA bring it back to use in Thailand for 1 month.

And now my iphone's camera cannot take a picture. The camera isn't focusing. T_T

Is anybody can give me a suggestion? What to do?

I went to iCare in Thailand, they refused to accept claim from me because my iphone was from USA. T_T

I would contact the apple store in the USA via the website.

Speak to them regarding this issue, one reason I purchase apple products is because of the warranty, they will help you. It may just be a bit tricky with the postage.

Yes, agree! This is a manufacturing defect, it is a hardware issue and Apple will fix it for you. It has happened to me twice in five weeks and is now a known issue. Apple US might be able to get you a local accomidation even though you did not purchase locally. Advise you speak by with them by phone. They are generally very helpful.

Well I'll chime in too. My iphone 6 Plus just started doing the same thing. I can hear the clicking noise when i hold the camera up to

my ear. Btw, I'm a FedEx courier and use the phone endless during the day for GPS navigation. I usually leave the phone on

the dash and it bounces around (sometimes violently). I can assume that may have attributed to the problem. Verizon is sending

me a replacement phone. However, the phone will be a "reconditioned" phone, which I don really agree with. I purchased my phone brand new when they were released and and also pay for extended protection plan. I kinda feel that I should get a new phone. Once I get the replacement phone, I'm never going to

set it on the dash while I'm driving again. Guess I'll have to keep it in my lap or in my pocket from now on.

Well that is a good reason not to become a Verizon subscriber! Your phone is nearly brand-new. That's not right. This is definitely a hardware issue and a defect in design. It is happening to more and more people. I suggest arguing with them a bit more about this. You deserve a new phone.

If at all possible, bypass the carrier and go to the Apple store. A refurbished for such a new phone is not right IMHO.

I noted earlier in a post that the second time this happened to me the Apple Store staff offered to replace the camera only. That was a lot more convenient because then you don't have to deal with configuring a new phone again. It actually will save you a lot of time. It took about an hour.

That's interesting. I have my iPhone on a cradle in my car but I'm lucky if I'm driving for more than an hour per day. Still I'm in Christchurch, New Zealand and an earthquake in 2010 munted the roads so the constant bumps from the random lumps and potholes could have done it. Hardly surprised it broke if you're a FedEx driver and it takes such little driving to cause the fault

Still, it shouldn't happen. My phone is a new one, or so I'm told, replaced under AppleCare after I complained. I didn't have the extended protection plan but sweet talked the customer manager on the phone who sided with me that I shouldn't have to pay $55 to get sent a new phone because if there was an Apple store in NZ I would have just taken it there to get a replacement, and that won't have costed me $55.

My new phone arrived this morning at my workplace so I'll get it going tonight.

That's nice to hear! I am not someone who is going to bash Apple. They have always treated me very well. But sometimes one must be a squeaky wheel…
