I would never take a job that I knew ahead of time I would have to comply with arbitrary and capricious rules and I have quit a few jobs that tried to push them on me later.

Not that wearing a uniform necessarily would be a problem depending on the profession.
YouTube changes their algorithm all the time. Would you keep quitting jobs when they changed some small policies?

That's most jobs unless you have some special skill where you can dictate your working terms. I think the higher up the ladder you go maybe the less you have to deal with it.
 
It's a software bug. There's no "repair" to fix it. A software update is coming out next week to fix it
Fixing the software bug just assures that the problem will not happen with new phones, it doesn’t guarantee that the software bug didn’t cause hardware damage to the phones that the problem was already observed on. It depends whether or not if the iOS driver for that mechanism allowed it to go beyond its absolute safe range.

There's zero evidence that any hardware damage is possible or has occurred. Unless someone takes it apart and can show damage this is just wild speculation. The patch fixes it for new and existing phones.

I’m a contractor. I get paid to provide a specific technical service for a period of time. I line up new contracts all the time. I’m not beholden to any one party beyond what I specifically agreed to do for them for the time period I agreed to do it.
 
It only looks "filthy" in the top 1/3. Might be skin grease that can be cleaned off. Or might be the end of life as we know it and you will need a brand new phone and 5 years of therapy? Who is to say?
Its a brand new completely clean phone. Cleaned it off specifically to take the pictures.
Maybe you need therapy. Or anger management?
 
Yeah, that's essentially the same vibe photos have when taken with a $1000+ DSLR/mirrorless lens that's been dropped, sending one of the glass elements inside out of alignment and/or cracking one of them entirely.

I think a few seconds of the OIS mechanism going wild likely doesn't do any damage, but if you let it continue to vibrate while you sit there puzzled and observe it, flip the phone over and look at the lens, put it up to your ear to hear the noise better, etc - that's plenty of time to self destruct either the mechanism that enabled focusing and/or the lens elements themselves.

This will probably be case by case, and it reminds me exactly of the Boot Camp bug with the 16" Intel 2019 MBPs when they first released. If you installed Boot Camp and went into Windows 10 during the first week or two of the notebook's release date, there was a high chance the speakers would emit an insanely loud screeching noise due to a boot camp driver bug and there was a good chance the speaker driver was then blown, requiring (at the time) a full replacement of the whole MacBook Pro.

So with this, I think it's likely that opening Snapchat, seeing the issue and quickly closing the app does no damage at all - vs like what Luke did in his video where he got it to happen, filmed it, observed it, flipped it over so the viewer could see the camera unit shaking, etc. That's a lot more violent shaking time.
Yes. The YouTube video seems to be minutes of testing. From filming the back of it to recording walking down the street.
 
If they could fix the Hubble telescope I am sure this can also be fixed.

I have been buying and using iPhones since the 3G and every issue has always been resolved by Apple. They do a great job of standing by their products and that is part of the reason they are such a great brand.

I also have not noticed this issue on my 14 Pro but am having other bugs that likely require software patches. It’s all part of being an early adopter.

I hope your right. But the phone is going back tomorrow.

They actually had to replace parts in the Hubble. They also take redundancy to the extreme. The price of the hubble was a bit more than our consumer phones as well. :)

Is this really a software issue? I watched Luke Miani’s video and he mentioned the camera was only shaking on his friend’s phone and not his own. You’d expect a software issue to happen regardless of hardware.
It is possible that there is more than one hardware revision / vendor for the affected component and therefore the software issue is only affecting a portion of phones (those with the particular hardware revision / vendor component). Apple has often sourced components from multiple vendors - perhaps the most significant of which was the iPhone 6s - which had some A9 chips produced by TSMC and some produced by Samsung - each with slightly different performance and thermal characteristics.

Hardware revision???? Its on hardware 1.0 every single one

You clearly do not have any experience in the field of hardware engineering or the process of mass producing electronics.

They've been producing iPhone 14 series phones in varying states of completeness in labs for 6 months+ (maybe even a year or more) before even entering mass production. Before and during mass production, there are often revisions made to optimize the production process. Many components that are sourced from 3rd parties are components that have been in production for years and have gone through and will go through many revisions. As long as these revisions meet all of the required specifications for iPhone 14, they'll use those components. Various components may also be sourced from more than 1 supplier, some of which may require minor logic board revisions (things like resistors, capacitors, voltage regulators, etc).

Just for sake of example, here's a video that tears down 2 Mac Studios (purchased at the same time, same model number, both production units) that have completely different power supplies. This is common in all hardware. I guarantee you that not every iPhone 14 Pro is exactly the same hardware, even units purchased on launch day.
 
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.

Same. I had my 2018 MBP in occasional super dusty conditions in places all over the world from 2018 to 2020 including outdoor jobs in Japan and Taiwan with high humidity, and high temperatures. Never had a keyboard problem, but I did have to have the fan cleaned once. That machine is still going strong, though it’s been relegated to media server duties.

This issue will be forgotten within a week.
