Apple working on fix for iPhone 14 Pro's camera shake and grinding

Apple Inc. is working on a software update for the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max aimed at fixing a bug that makes the rear camera on the device physically shake when used with some third-party apps.

The update will be released next week, according to the company, signalling it has already identified a solution.

Fixing what sounds like a hardware fault with software? This won't end well.

If it’s only apparent when third party apps are used how is it not software related?

If this is a 3rd party app issue - how does Apple release the fix ?

Although it sounds like software issue, it also has the ability to damage hardware.

Overpriced junk.

The fix the apps or the manner in which they interact with the camera. Is the camera supposed to make grinding noises for any reason? What are those apps doing that causes it to shake and grind (lol, sounds like a dirty dance)?

Uninstall grindr.

Lucky they don't have tinder else the phone would catch fire.

Could be something as silly as the new cameras requiring you to "unlock" them before they focus and the old apps don't execute this step.

A week to roll out a fix with all the bright people they have working there? Lol too funny.

The vibration does not occur when using the built-in camera app, suggesting the problem’s roots are in a software fault. However, some have warned affected users to limit their usage of apps that trigger the bug, in case excess vibration causes permanent damage to the OIS system.

That shaking sounds hectic. Imagine paying R40K+ for the best iPhone 14 Pro Max, only for it to come with defects like that.

Apple got its inspiration from Boeing on that one.
