Agreed. What a piece of junk! Apple really did a face plant with this year’s iPhone!

And indeed, I never managed to break one of my 2 Butterfly boards despite using one of them outside near a construction site that caked my machine in dust.
Speaking as someone that experienced this with a banking app (Chase UK) not social media. I’m not gonna lie I was confused and concerned when it happened. 14 Pro space black uk and day one for those interested.
I haven’t returned my phone as I’m waiting to see if any lasting damage or issues.
The issue focusing I can only so far say is down to fixed focal length for verification being different now the cameras have a different end stop.
Will see in real world usage if I have issues etc

Apple should probably consider inviting all the YouTubers especially ones like Luke into a special early access NDA up the wazoo program for the iPhone. A product like the iPhone really requires large testing pool outside the company to ensure stuff like this doesn't slip through QA. You might be surprised, but people who work on the camera system likely just don't use IG, Snap and TikTok.
Remember when the App Store just came out and a CNBC journalist asked Steve Jobs if he is on Facebook. Steve just looked at him like what the hell did you just ask me? Yet, he took walks with Zuckerberg and Lauren was on Facebook for many years.

Yes. We’ve seen this in the past where Apple acknowledges the issue years after the fact and they they implement a recall program.
If this is widespread there’s just no way Apple will come clean about it. Seriously, what did you expect? “Hey we ****ed up and we’re going to recall of our phones”? Not even Samsung that had their phones exploding did that until half a year later
Speculation? It's Apple's own warning
Exposure to vibrations, like those generated by high-powered motorcycle engines, might impact iPhone cameras - Apple Support
Exposing your iPhone to high amplitude vibrations within certain frequency ranges, specifically those generated by high-power motorcycle engines, can degrade the performance of the camera system.
IBIS. That’s camera-speak for in-built image stabilization. iPhones use this tech that’s been in cameras for a while to physically shift the sensor around to combat shakiness. This involves a mechanism that positions the sensor in space. A malfunction in this system is what appears to be causing the issue.
I don't disagree with that part. But, these are a hard facts?Speculation? It's Apple's own warning

"Apple literally baiting people to damage their iphones...." (action mode has nothing to do with high frequency motorcycles, nor do they advertise it for that)
"I guess this is Apple's way to improve their profitability on repairs?"
Looks like wild speculation to me

Apple already said next week. It's not high priority, or the fix is in 16.1 (which is in beta already).
I'll take it as a blessing in disguise that I was late for the pre order lol. Atleast a few bugs should be worked out by next month when mine arrives.
Too often to be considered seriously. I mean there is one Luke's video from 2021 when he is stating that Mac Pro Late 2013 (trashcan) is old and slow.....really, 9-10 year old technology is old and slow.....just one oh his genius moments.
I mean he is considering himself a serious reviewer because he knows how to unscrew few bolts and add memory.....give me a break. The best he can do is make faces for video thumbnails.

the 14 day return window is a mute point, apple has a 1 year manufacture warranty.. i’m not sure why people are freaking out
Jeez. You guys have an excuse for everything. There is nothing that anyone can do anymore that won't generate hate, hyperbole, and predictions of the end of the Apple world and the chopping of Cook into twenty billion little pieces.
You guys don't trust anyone. You think everything should be perfect. When it isn't, you just seem to succumb to mass hysteria.
We're updating those camera for you right now, as we speak. We stopped shipping and are replacing those crappy cameras with newly fixed and glorified cameras that will stun you. And we're going home to home to get back those iphones to give you a new camera. So hang in there and we'll have a new one out to you, right soon. Tim
I don’t believe that it causes no permanent damage. Sure the wording is correct, it most definitely caused the st is OIS system to experience wear levels that are exponentially higher than normal use. Especially when the phone is <3 days old. I have it on mine and have deleted Snapchat till it’s fixed. However my camera does not focus properly at close distances.
