Several iPhone 14 Pro users have reported a camera issue with their unit in which something inside the camera was shaking and vibrating. After several complaints, Apple has now responded to it. Apple earlier this month launched the iPhone 14 series which consisted of four iPhone models – iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

After the latest models went on sale, users started complaining about the issue they were facing. Most of the time the camera issue on the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max was noticed whenever it was used with a third-party app like Snapchat, Instagram, Tiktok, etc. This is what exactly happening with the new iPhone 14 Pro camera.

What is the Reason Behind iPhone 14 Pro Camera Vibrating Issue?

Last week, multiple users took it to Twitter and Tiktok to report a serious issue with the iPhone 14 Pro camera. Whenever they were opening any third-party app and open the in-app camera, the phone will start vibrating or shaking producing a weird sound. This was shaking the complete frame and the results were disappointing.

While Apple has said that this is not a hardware issue, the company remained silent on exactly the reason behind this. However, we speculate that this could be because of the sensor-shift optical image stabilisation Apple is using on the Pro models. It could be possible that the stabiliser is acting unusual on various apps.
