Rear camera stopped working after upgrade to iOS 9

Exactly the same issue with a 5S.

Hi! Try the recovery mode. Turn your device off, then plug it to your computer with the home button pressed. Keep the Home button pressed until you see the iTunes logo on the screen of your device. After that on your computer you should see the iTunes window saying your device needs to be restored to factory settings. Click on the restore button.

If these steps don't work, contact Apple and ask for help.

So i have the same thing with camera after updating to ios 9.

waiting for topic starter or other users to try the solution offered by D.Cohen...

I have an iPhone 5s and had that problem this morning. I held in my power and home button, waited until it powered off about 30 seconds and turned it back on. My camera works now. Hope you get this resolved!

No, unlike us, fortunately you just had a small glitch.

Power off or hard reset doesn't help.

Have this exact problem. Tried restoring/starting as new device and doing recovery mode/updating and neither helped.

Apple ran a thing on my phone and told me it was a hardware issue with the camera and since my phone is 16 months old not covered.

That is garbage. Hardware just coincidentally failed for a bunch of people as soon as they installed a new iOS? Nonsense. Hopefully Apple will come through with an update before too long... otherwise luckily for me I will have a new 6S Plus in a couple of weeks.

yeah, it's ridiculous. I even included a link to this thread since others were having identical experiences.

So are Apple going to rewrite the software?

I couldn't believe it! I have been using my phone to take pics of our new born. I did the up date and now no camera.

it ***** because I was using it to send picture to our familys the other side of the county!

Seems like I'm having the exact same issue on my iPhone 6. Been on iOS 9 for just under a week, and have started having problems with the camera where it won't open, or if it does open there are pink vertical lines. I find it hard to believe it's a hardware issue considering I've had the phone a year and only ran into problems after installing iOS 9...

I have exactly the same issue after updating, but my camera worked for around 1 day until it turned black and flash is telling me its overheated and needs to cool down. The phone is not overheated and never was.

Restart or fresh install didnt help so I downgraded to 8.4.1 since apple is still signing its and unfortunately the camera is not even working in the previous ios... so now I am probably looking at a broken camera since no iOS version recognizes the camera any more.. Im using an iphone 5

Relieved to know I am not the only one facing this issue. iPhone 5s updated to iOS 9 and was working fine for a couple of days, the camera and flash suddenly stopped working today. I hope apple is reading this and working to resolve this issue.

The big A just release 9.0.1 today.

Only a small update but looks like, after reading the info it has a LOT of bug fixes!

its only around 35mb update which means it's a few lines of code correction!

Hope that helps
