Shortly after launch, iPhone 14 Professional and iPhone 14 Professional Max customers began reporting a dramatic camera-related downside when utilizing in style apps equivalent to TikTok, Instagram, Fb and Snapchat. When utilizing an affected app, making an attempt to open the rear digital camera ends in an uncontrollable ‘shaking’ of the digital camera’s lens, accompanied by a worrying ‘rattling noise’.
