iOS 8.3 focus on rear camera do not work iphone 6 plus

After update to iOS 8.2 focus on the rear camera stopped working. I have been searching around on the forum and see that other people as well have experienced the same issue on ios 8.1.3. So far I have not seen any other than me that have been having trouble with ios 8.2. Most likely I think this is a hardware issue with the optical stabilization of the lens. I will send my phone to service and update what this could be. Have anybody else had same problem aftee upgrade to iOS 8.3?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.2

Yes, you should get your phone serviced, and iOS8.3 is still in Beta-testing.

Hello,

I have the exact same issue in Iphone 6.

The focus stopped working after 8.2 upgrade. Not a HW issue as it fine before.

Regards,

I am also facing the same problem. I updated my phone to iOS 8.2 last Sunday, and immediately noticed that the rear camera's focus is completely not working. (it was working fine before the update) Pictures taken at close range were still crystal clear, however the ones taken further away were a complete blur mess. I also noticed that the cellular data works very slow now. Although I am at LTE coverage areas, my speedtest now reads :

PING : 86ms

DOWNLOAD : 0.02 Mbps (WHAT??!!)

UPLOAD : 0.24Mbps

Am considering a downgrade too and if anyone has similar experience please help report?

So, I downgraded to 8.1.3 last night and setup the iPhone 6 as a new phone (backup was not allowed due to having been done in 8.2 so it does not allow it to be restored in an older version). Anyway, the camera still did not focus correctly in 8.1.3.

So I am clueless now 😟

Hello, here is an update from me. I had to send my phone to service to Trondheim in Norway. I got the message that the camera module was something wrong with, and they changed it on warranty without charging me anything for the service. Now my phone is working good. So, there was a failure in the camera module on my iPhone 6 plus.
