Loved my 128gb silver 6 plus except for one problem that I couldn't find on here and my Apple Store hadn't heard of.

My camera (main camera) wouldn't focus properly and in addition the screen had this almost psychedelic appearing wavy appearance while in the camera app. It was almost like being underwater with light shimmering and refracting in a wavy pattern. Very odd and very difficult to look at one the screen. At first I stupidly thought it might have something to do with the new image stabilization but then I noticed my wife's new 6 plus didn't do that at all. I also noticed awful focus troubles on the pictures I shot this weekend. The front screen camera was fine.

The issue was occurring nearly 100 percent of the time. Didn't resolve with reboots, resets, or a restore. They swapped it out and asked me to be available for a follow up call from Apple since they believe it was a completely new issue.

My guess is the mechanical image stabilization hardware was defective and causing some sort of jitter or there was a problem with a lens.

Either way happy to have my new new phone that doesn't have that issue. Just posted in case anyone else had that camera issue.
