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.

Hello~ If you in fact thought it was a software issue…why replace the camera? I am fully updated but have no camera issues at all. If it were in fact a software issue…wouldn’t it have affected me as well? The more likely issue is that third party repair shop has installed a non Apple part in your iPhone that isn’t working properly. Your only way forward is taking it back to them as *Kurtosis12* points out.

Unfortunately by taking to a non Apple repair shop, Apple will not touch it now. Your only hope is to take it back where you had it repaired and see if they can fix it.
