I should start by saying that i found this weird bug because i bought a hitcase pro with a wide angle lens for my iphone for some action video shots. This bug happens both with and without the case though.

It seems like the focus changes with the angle of the phone.

Let me explain: If i tilt my iphone up towards the ceiling (around 2 meters away) and use an app to lock focus there, and then tilt it towards the floor at around the same distance, the focus changes to around 20 cm instead of the 2 meters locked and the image gets blurry (untill i move my iphone that close to something) and then when i turn it towards the ceiling again, its fine. The same happens if i do it the other way around.

I've done lots of testing on this and it comes out the same every time.

It also does this with the stock camera app with no locked focus, but it will refocus in a couple seconds.

Anyone experiencing anything similar or is my phone broken? This is really annoying and is preventing me from doing my action shots.
