Apple’s iPhone 14 has been causing trouble for users who try to use third-party camera apps, with reports of shaking and strange noises coming from the camera. Apple is facing criticism for failing to address these issues promptly.
Confusion reigns as to whether the problem lies in hardware or software, and users are left wondering if a software update will be sufficient to resolve the issue. Apple has advised affected users to wait for a forthcoming software update that will fix the camera problem without causing permanent hardware damage.
Famous tech YouTuber Luke Miani shared his experience with the iPhone 14 camera malfunctioning when using the Snapchat app, sparking a viral response on Twitter. Apple has acknowledged the issue and is working on a fix, expected to be released soon.
The problem appears to be isolated to the iPhone 14 Pro camera when used in third-party apps like Snapchat, TikTok, and Instagram. This suggests a software bug related to how these apps interact with the new camera technology in the iPhone 14 Pro.
Rumors have circulated that this issue is a major hardware flaw requiring a product recall, but Apple has not confirmed these claims. Customers have expressed frustration with Apple’s support processes, with some opting to replace their devices rather than wait for a fix.
The root cause of the problem remains unclear, but speculation points to potential issues with the optical image stabilization system in the new camera technology. Apple is expected to address these issues with an upcoming software update.
