ios 10 camera bug

Since upgrading my 5s to ios 10, my camera has stopped working.

The phone says the flash will not work until the device cools down. It isn't even hot to the touch.

The camera is completely black for both front and back cameras.

The flash will not turn on.

I have reset the phone and even did a factory reset and erased everything and it still won't work.

I have also tried opening it from the lock screen but I still have the same problem.

iPhone 5s, iOS 10

Hi! have you gotten anywhere with this issue??? My 7+ as of today is doing the same thing. Forward facing camera won't work-- however in some apps it will.

Thanks,
