Apple has acknowledged the camera issue that was affecting several iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max model users with camera shake or camera rattling issue. The tech giant has said that it would be rolling out a software update next week to fix the camera issue that is causing the iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro models where using the camera is leading to a shaking image while using third-party apps like Snapchat, Instagram and TikTok and grinding noises are coming from the camera bump, the media has reported.

Several early buyers of the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models started to report the camera rattling issues over the weekend, but it was not clear whether the issue was with third-party such as Snapchat and TikTok or with the new iOS 16 itself. It should be noted that the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models are reported to be functioning just fine while using Apple’s own app.

According to a report in The Verge, given that it’s the iPhone maker releasing an update, it appears that the issue is with the models and their APIs rather than the third-party apps.
