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

If there isn't a way of parking the optics when the image stabilization is disabled or when power is removed, then that lens is probably bouncing around all the time in your pocket. There's so little mass and so little space to accelerate in the lens system that I can't imagine it can build up enough momentum to hurt itself. Hard to know one way or the other without someone knowledgeable actually detailing the mechanism, though. Are you someone knowledgeable?
I’m wondering if the problems with the iPhone 14/pro lineup is due to everyone at Apple working from home.
It’s a jitterbug.Sounds to me like a software bug. As if the focus routine is caught in an infinite loop.
Relaying information or misinformation?
The problem is things like this get repeated so many times that they become what people think are facts. Maybe this is true and there’s some camera expert who has taken the thing apart and found this out. Maybe this is just completely made up by some YouTube contact creator just for views. I honestly don’t know but I think this is something we need to get to the bottom of. The only credible information we have right now is from Apple saying that there is no hardware damage. Sure Apple has some interest in the outcome so there’s that.
I write code a develop apps, specifically the integration of hardware with software not initially developed together.
I’m having significant issues with my 14PM and it is going into a return box in the morning.
I think the software that helps regulate the magnets inside the stabilization module is over compensating because its not receiving accurate data. Third party apps haven't been coded correctly or were not given development units to test the hardware/software adequately. Or they did so in a virtualized environment.
A good friend at Sony that does testing an development on the PSVR2 said they use something similar to help stabilize the cameras on the headset. There will be many augmented VR games coming out for the PSVR2 and the stabilization units are remarkably similar to what apple is selling. We spoke in length today about how their system does exactly the same thing when the device receives improper voltage from the power supply unit. When code receives analytics from onboard sensors and outputs the wrong variables this exact thing happens. We surmise the third party apps either have bad code sending the incorrect voltage to help with stabilization causing the magnets to freak out and fail.
OR
Some units are simply defective. Toning down the ability and functionality of the modules can alleviate symptoms. But then you’re not getting what you paid for. Or eventually the units need replaced after prolonged use.
Apples one year cycle and breaks in the supply chain are showing its weaknesses.
After witnessing the camera clicks today and dumping the analytics from the unit I’m hard pressed to think this is a “ software issue “
I’m all but guaranteeing this issue will not end after the next update.
I mean if it effected phones apple would run a diagnostic and we’d know which are effected but again we have one year warraanty anyway.
Let’s not forget they did acknowledge the AirPod issue. So if it becomes an issue we will find out.
Apple very well could have chose to ignore all this
Sorry to burst your misinformation campaign telling everyone that their sensor might be scratched.
I’m sure also in a few days someone will take it apart to confirm.
Buying iPhones on the release day is becoming more and more stupid: get dynamic island but lose your camera - if even for a while - is very bad trade-off. By the time Apple fixes all problems (that is if they actually do this), the phones will be in stock.
Its exactly like what other people are posting. Also not giving away my metadata.
This is of course “Macrumors.com” and not a court of law. Apple is one voice and then there are others. Big corporations are not the only ones with a voice of authority. Let each reader put a value on each post and come to their own conclusions. It’s called the free flow of information - the internet. All sides all the time…
You said it's wild speculation why does it have to be wild speculation ? Since quality control is no longer the same even final version now feels like beta software with issues and glitches.
