Apple Says iPhone 14 Pro Camera Vibration Issue Doesn't Require Repair

Does anyone else just hear a light click when they use TikTok/Instagram?

I'm assuming such a light movement won't cause any lasting damage to my camera module right?
 
Apple have released ios 16.0.2

Welp, I take my earlier post back. I opened Snapchat and got the grinding noise just now. A second or two of it. Ugh, wish I checked for the software update first!

I love these ridiculous "cite your data/source!" type of responses.... Clearly, this is about common sense and knowing a little bit of general knowledge about how these things work.

Image stabilization motors see wear and tear like anything else mechanical, for starters. Apple already had to put out a lengthy bulletin to stop owners of iPhone 13 Pro's from driving around with them clipped to motorcycle handlebars because the strong vibrations from the engine are enough to prematurely wear and damage the image stabilizer system on those.

If the lens stabilizer is vibrating SO strongly, you feel the entire phone vibrating? Something's gone horribly wrong, because this is a little tiny motor that's made just to make slight movements to the LENS in the camera part of the phone! I would want to exchange mine out if it did this even one time. (Apple hopes not to have to do that and would rather wait and see how many break prematurely over the next year or two of use, rather than replace them all proactively. That's just "cost reduction" for them.) I'm not spending the >$1000 price for one of these high-end phones to be a test subject for Apple of "I wonder how many of those stabilizer motors will keep working after over-stressing them 100x or so more than they're designed for?"

Most people that ignore the need for facts/data and say it's "common sense", usually have neither at their disposal.
