Rear camera stopped working after upgrade to iOS 9

No ipad had a more serious problem. It crashed all the time.

I had this same problem. Apple told me it was a hardware issue, but replacing the camera and flash didn't help anything-- so it's definitely a software issue. However, after trying to replace the camera and flash, to no avail, and putting the originals back in, everything worked fine. A tech friend wonders if taking them out and putting them in again reset the connection. No idea, but Apple quoted me $270 for repairs, and the replacement parts are only $6 on Amazon.

I had the same issue..what happen was when I open camera its just black screen..front cam works..then i tried to use the flash it says phone is heating..wait to cool down..what I did was I dismantle the mobile using video guide..then check the ribbon point of camera is properly attached to the motherboard and found it was not properly attached. so i pulled it out and re attached..then it works fine for me..but make sure to be careful when you dismantle the mobile and removing the ribbon clips might damage to your mobile..also please don't do it if you have valid warranty with you..

Yeah but for how long?..

I did this and it worked for about 2 hours,then it failed again.

I have upgraded to the iOS 10 Beta. Still not working...

I reckon it is planned obsolescence .

I can understand them doing it to my 4 year old 4S but a 5S?..,really?.

Do they think this will make me want to upgrade to their latest offerings?

Very sad when it comes to this from a company that supposedly prides it self on build quality.

PROBLEM SOLVED

Hey guys! Worry no more!! I have an iPhone 5c right now and it started to experience this camera bug last February. Really disappointed with Apple because one of the best features of their iPhone is its camera. Just restore your iPhone in DFU Mode folks! Fixed my iPhone Hope this helps guys

I woke up this morning to my rear camera not working. It would not work on the iPhone camera app or on any other photo apps I have downloaded. It would take video, but not photos. A few days ago my flashlight stopped working as well. After reading everyone's input on how to fix this issue this is what I did and it seems to have worked.

1. Restore and delete everything on your iPhone.

Settings >> General >> Reset >> Erase All Content and Settings

2. Restore phone from original back up method (computer or iCloud)

3. Put your phone in low power mode.

Settings >> Battery >> Low power mode

Wait a few minutes while the phone is on low power mode.

4. Go back to Settings>> Battery>> Low power mode and turn Low power mode off.

Now try your camera. It worked for me. Hopefully it continues to work, haha. Good luck!

Iphone 4s, ios 9.3.4 The same problem ! (((

Quit out of any app that can access the iPhone camera – things like Camera, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Afterlight, etc

Flip the iPhone over and apply very slight pressure against the physical camera hardware using a finger, it may depress slightly indicating this loose camera issue

Now try to use the Camera app as usual (from lock screen access, or third party app is fine), it should work fine now and take pictures as usual

So, a malfunctioning camera, no camera apps are working, and loose physical camera hardware on the iPhone? That clearly indicates a hardware issue, and whether or not it impacts many iPhone 5 users is not entirely clear.

Thx, now flash and camera works again on my iphone 5.

?

Same problem both cameras stopped working after Apple software update but don't worry just take ur phone into genius store and they will charge u for repair bloody joke!

Have had exactly the same problem with my 4S since v9, initially thought it was hardware, now I know it's software. Tried the answers they didn't work. Has Apple fixed or has a fix for this? If so where is it and if not fixing this why not, can always get an android etc. Why would I want another iPhone. If this has affected 3 gems+ of Apple products. Maybe this should hit a blog.

Don't go to android you will experience worse problems. You can get another iPhone or get a hold of Apple. Have you had your iPhone repaired or the internals striped and put back in a new bad or any mods like new battery or anything like that
