However, this doesn’t seem to be a widespread issue and doesn’t necessarily happen every time the camera app is launched. It only seems to affect iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max users. Third-party camera apps are not affected and there is no fix for them in the iOS 16.0.1 update.
I just discovered that it might be a RAM management issue with the camera app. When I clear my iPhone 14 Pro’s RAM by first turning on Assistive Touch in Accessibility settings, then volume up, volume down and holding the power button until the shutdown menu appears, then long the home button to clear in the memory’s Assistive Touch menu, the camera app always launches quickly on the first try. However, subsequent launches of the camera app still take about 5 seconds for the app to open.” – xyz2610
The iPhone 14 Pro’s camera bug is the latest in a series of issues discovered by early adopters
Barely a week has passed since the launch of the iPhone 14 and a multitude of issues have already been reported, making this one of the most bug-riddled launches.
Many iPhone 14 Pro users have complained and posted video evidence that the cameras make a rattling and grinding noise and the main camera lens vibrates uncontrollably when recording videos with third-party apps like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat, resulting in shaky clips. The Apple Store gave YouTuber Luke Miani a new device after he faced the issue and found it was affecting the lens’s ability to focus properly.
