Shortly after launch, iPhone 14 Professional and iPhone 14 Professional Max customers began reporting a dramatic camera-related downside when utilizing in style apps reminiscent of TikTok, Instagram, Fb and Snapchat. When utilizing an affected app, making an attempt to open the rear digicam ends in an uncontrollable ‘shaking’ of the digicam’s lens, accompanied by a worrying ‘rattling noise’.
The bug seems to be the results of an incompatibility with the telephone’s new 48-megapixel digicam inflicting a fault with the optical picture stabilization (OIS) system of the first lens. The OIS system is designed to counteract undesirable digicam shake by means of exact actions of the lens however, sadly, seems to be doing precisely the other when this bug is in impact.
A Tweet from content material creator Luke Miani exhibits the bug in impact with the rattling lens clearly audible.

When you’re unable to get an instantaneous trade in an Apple Retailer, simply maintain tight and watch for an replace, both from Apple instantly or within the particular person social media apps you utilize.
As a brief workaround, you may take images with Apple’s built-in digicam app, which isn’t affected by the bug, and share photos to social media from there,
