Apple to fix iPhone 14 Pro camera shaking issue by next week

New York: Tech Giant Apple said it is working on a software update to fix an issue with the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max that makes the rear camera physically shake when used with some third-party apps like Snapchat, Instagram, or TikTok.

In a statement, Apple said it is currently working on resolving the issue. “We’re aware of the issue for the camera shaking issue on iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max and a fix will be released next week,” a company spokesperson said.

Some users said in videos and posts on social media sites that the problem only happened when the camera was used with third-party apps like Snapchat, TikTok, and Instagram.

One person on YouTube posted a video of their phone shaking while they used TikTok. Other people on Reddit posted about the same kinds of problems.

According to the Bloomberg news agency, the issue is the result of the optical image stabilization hardware malfunctioning in some cases with third-party apps.

The new camera system on the iPhone 14 Pro, which includes a 48-megapixel sensor for the main lens for the first time, is one of the main upgrades for this year’s device.

The phone also has a software interface at the top of the device known as the Dynamic Island, which works with an updated camera cutout to show information such as map directions or AirPods status.

Apple’s fix wouldn’t be the first software update since the company released its latest mobile software, iOS 16. On launch day, users were asked to update to iOS 16.0.1 to address a problem related to activating FaceTime.
