My IPhone 13 hasn’t had any work done to it. It was fine until I downloaded and installed the latest update from Apple, then I got the message about my camera. Now my camera doesn’t function as it should. This isn’t a hardware problem. When will Apple issue a fix? This unknown part message has caused my camera to not function properly. I haven’t had any work done to it. This is a software problem, not a hardware problem. It happened after I did the latest update install.

iPhone 14 rear camera not working after iOS 18.5 update My iPhone 14 updated during the night to 18.5. That same morning, the rear 1x camera stopped working, and the 0.5x camera worked sometimes. I took the phone to a tech shop, had the cameras replaced, worked for 3 hours and then the same happened. Restarting it made it work one time, but now it doesn't work. It can't be a hardware problem nor a coincidence. If someone could help out with some info on how to fix it. [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: Rear camera not working after 18.5 update.
