He said he got it last march, way past the return window. Even if he brings it back, how is he gonna prove to them that he didn’t get the camera fixed/replaced? I would actually suggest taking it to the Apple Store and see what the employee say

16.4 is a BETA, expect BETA results.

Obviously, but this has been a problem for others for years and has yet to be addressed in a proper way without having to go to the apple store. So definitely still relevant.

This subreddit is absolutely useless for actual tech support man, nobody knows anything and they’ll all just tell you to go back to the store.

It might look like it’s fine but tons of shit could be off. Have you tried all the functions on all of the lenses? Even then calibration could be off or you could be getting a rouge voltage somewhere

Software issues can cause a whole load of "hardware warnings". This guy says he has done nothing to his phone, when a random update does this it is absolutely not a hardware problem. Especially when it just happens randomly, after an update.

But of course, because it's Apple, there's nothing you can do to investigate or repair the software issue yourself. That does mean that this subreddit could basically be replaced by a flowchart with, at the end, "contact Apple"

Did I fault the subreddit? Why are you taking this personally?

It's different because Android is just more open, if you replace the camera you will not get some stupid warning that the part is unknown. Android is open-source, do you know what you're talking about?

AOSP is open source. Samsung’s specific flavour of Android including their drivers and UI skin is closed source.

Happened to me too. Bought direct from apple. Took it in to them and they replaced camera and screen. No explanation about why it happened.

I’m not faulting anything. I’m stating a fact. This sub is useless for tech support.

Not even half as much as iOS.

Have you tried a forced reboot

The honest answer is don’t use beta software if you’re looking for a stable experience. Report the bug in the feedback app and downgrade your iOS if you aren’t happy.

I had this on my old 12 when moisture got inside. I’ve read this happening few times already in this sub. O guess your best shot is to visit an Apple Store, maybe they can help you.

Does the camera work? Then it is a genuine camera.

I had that with my 12 Pro Max, Apple Store changed it out, cost me $30

Nope. Tons of aftermarket parts out there and that’s besides the point. I mean the software is all Apple looks at when it comes to this. You could buy new phones, swap the screens in their store and they’ll tell you your screen is now a fake.
