Figures at the bottom of front camera portrait mode photos on iPhone

When I took a photo on portrait mode (front camera), there are some figures at the bottom of the photos. I uploaded a sample. Does anyone know why it happens and how to fix?

Apparently it was only a misleading coincidence that the glitches seemed to match the striped in the shirt. Interesting, but not relevant.


Did this start happening recently, or has it been that way since you got the phone? If it started only recently, was it when you upgraded the software, when something happened to the phone physically (a fall or exposure to environmental extremes), or any other unusual circumstances?


Have you tried a power off sequence, or even a force restart?


What sub-level of iOS 18 are you using? 18.5 is the current production level.

Actually, I don’t know when it started, because I don’t use the camera very often, but I’m sure it was clear before. It’s been a while since I bought the phone. I suddenly noticed it when I took a photo last week. I tried turning it off and on, but not a force restart. Also, my iOS is up to date.


I guess I should take it to an Apple care service center.
