iPhone 14 Pro Camera Shaking and Vibrating in Apps Like Snapchat, TikTok, and Instagram for Some Users

Damn. I'm so grateful that these employees put in minimum work and collect a fat Apple paycheck. In my opinion, these workers should be grateful that COVID gave them 2 years of vacation and that iPhones, iPads, and Macs were in huge demand.

Gives them, not gave them. Yes, its the gift that keeps on giving. You don't sound jealous much,..you forgot the the free Apple merch and hardware ;):)
 
Wow, what a goofy mess, bug! Even with this spastic violent stutter of the small engine/motor in these apps (all the clips I've seen are with Tik Tok, IG, Snapchat...perhaps maybe other 3rd party apps that might use the camera[?]).

If I had this brand new phone and it happened once, twice. YEAH, I would exchange it ASAP! Don't take a chance....who knows what kind of potential short or long term damage to the motors happened with this mess.

It’s only happening once to people. No one here says it keeps happening. Also why return it is no damage.

Got to say I've hit a couple of problems with the camera on my 14 Pro. When setting up my esim I had to scan in the QR code using Apple's own settings option 'Mobile Data, Add eSIM' and the image it was displaying was very blurred although it did scan it in. I've also used a couple of other apps that scan in barcodes and they have struggled to focus on the barcodes despite me never having a problem with my old 12 Pro.

The stock app does seem to work Ok for now but if I activate it and put the lens to my ear I can hear a small amount of clicking but am not seeing any vibration issues.

So there is certainly something quirky going on.

The problem list has expanded from the shaking rattling and buzzing to the failure to focus. At least in a new article from BGR. They also say Apple is aware of it and working on a solution. They (BGR) say don’t use social media apps until a fix is in and if affected return the unit for replacement - and I suppose don’t use social media apps or anything that uses the camera on the replaced phone.

Yikes!

Where did apple say don’t use it? That was just macrumors
 
I think this is a hardware issue and not a software issue. I have a 14 Pro and have zero problems. I’ve tried to reproduce this issue in Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter and my camera works completely fine. No shaking or vibration at all.

The fact that it is happening in Snapchat and Tik Tok doesn't suggest this is a Meta software bug.

I don't think he was suggesting it was solely a Meta software bug, just that Meta particularly will be rather fast with an app update. (Just saw an app Instagram as I type this out) compared to Snapchat or TikTok in terms of the time it takes to push out a hotfix for this issue.

Mainly, I'm somewhat concerned about these apps using some kind of private API that are not in line with Apple's guidelines for the App Store.

Just saying, those clips...even if once or twice are a violent jiggle..something is clicking around also. I wouldn't take the chance especially if you're in the 14 day return window. You drop this much money on this...darn right I'm getting a replacement.

Again, no idea (right now) what this actually did to the main camera, even if it was just one time...it may be fine now, but some motor might prematurely fail in 2-3 months.

Work from home quality. This is probably the first iPhone to be developed mostly during Covid.

Now we know why Cook is adamant about workers returning to the office. "Working" from the beach is over. Tim Cook has all the data on the lack of productivity and employee disengagement. Macrumors forum posters that claim they know how to run Apple better are not smarter than Tim Cook.

I'm skipping the iPhone 14 and probably also the iPhone 15. I'll buy the iPhone 16 because it'll be the first iPhone designed and produced with workers in the office.

Right on point!!!

Could be. But highly doubt it. The camera I’m sure is built to withstand falls and things like this. When they test them out I’m sure they see if they can withstand it.

Also if the camera performs fine now I would chance getting a worse one.
