My iPhone 12 just started not focusing. Sometimes when I initially start the camera it tries, and then it just stops out of focus. This is only for the 26mm lens; wide angle is clear. What would cause this and how do I fix it? I tried restarting my phone 3 times and removing the case and everything described without a factory reset. It was working fine earlier today which makes absolutely no sense.
iPhone 12, iOS 18
It's likely a hardware problem and it would be advisable to schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar for service options --> Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple
