Fix for iPhone 14 Pro Camera Vibration Issue Coming Next Week

Who has been using third-party camera apps without issue? I’ve yet to experience this problem in any app. Just seems odd that they say software can fix it, but you would think every phone would be doing the same thing.
A week is a long time for people to use phones and damage them potentially. Really shows how sloppy apple has become under Timeh Time to leave Tim.
This is good news, I am glad they are addressing the issue, even though a formal statement would be appreciated, with more details and explanations.
as expected when a big deal is made they normally respond fairly quick.
Yeah, I was just thinking, if there was ever a time to push an emergency fix using the new hotfix feature in iOS 16, THIS WOULD BE IT.
If the software update next week fixes the issue, great. We can all move on.
If it doesn't, then it's a bigger issue.
If it doesn't, then it's a bigger issue.
Exactly! Asking the hundreds of thousands of potentially impacted customers to wait another week to use their >$1k phone is ridiculous. I haven't even had this camera issue, I've had a laundry list of other issues, though...
Hopefully SOMETHING on my list of issues gets addressed. Filing Feedback with Apple is like tossing pennies into a black hole.
This is not an emergency. This affects 3rd party apps. Not the main camera. The teens can live without posting to to tik tok for a week.
I haven't had the blurriness but it has got exceedingly hot from both GPS and camera. Battery has been ok, except for when the GPS was stuck on (due to a web page I think). Better reception than my old iPhone 12 pro.
Perhaps being an early adopter has bit us this time.
Good to see Apple acknowledge this issue, but I’m confused how this can be a software issue when some of us aren’t having this issue at all?
My 14 Pro has been fine. I tested Snapchat, Instagram and Twitter and everything works normally.
I’m not sure Apple would allow an exchange when there’s been no detectable damage. But I also agree with you (and if I owned an iPhone 14 Pro) in which this issue had appeared a few times, I might be inclined to return the unit to get my money back, and then re-purchase a new unit a day later. While there may not be any detectable damage right now, maybe it’s weakened components enough that such components wear out earlier in the future?
In other words, while an exchange probably wouldn’t be possible, a return would be.
(Or am I missing something here?)
The Bloomberg report said they "hoped" the software fix would solve the issue. I wouldn't put much faith in the software fix, fingers crossed I'm wrong.
Ya and this iphone had the most camera "back" as well. Bet it could clap!
"Our phones now Twerk... can't shake anymore..my ass!"
I’m convinced there’s a bad batch of camera components and that this still isn’t really a software issue. I’m not the only one reporting no issues.

I wonder will it be an iOS 16.0.2 fix, though. The fact it doesn't happen with Apple's native Camera app tells me it's still more a software problem that could be fixed by updating the likes of Facebook and Instagram apps.
If this does eventually end up requiring the camera module get replaced, because only the regular 14 got the easy-to-repair redesign, iPhone 14 pros won't be a quick fix. Not sure the easy off back would allow for faster access to the cameras anyway, but just in case you were wondering if this would be a minor recall...it won't.
Some people are being told it will take upwards of six weeks for their phones to be swapped out. After they send them in.
