    Resolved Camera app randomly opening itself

    iPhone 15 Pro (issue observed under iOS 17.1.1 and 17.1.2) The first few times it happened, I just figured it was something I had done, like an accidental swipe. However, I was driving with the phone on a MagSafe charger and there was nothing near any of the buttons or screen. Suddenly my...

    Random camera freezes with Studio Display/Mac Studio on Sonoma

    Greetings. So I have a lot of video conferencing in Skype and Microsoft Teams, like many hours a day. I had 27'' 2017 iMac for six years and never had a single camera issue. In any OS from Sierra to latest it could run, which was Ventura. Recently I got new M2 Max Mac Studio which now runs...

    iPhone 12 mini camera replacement - genuine shows as non-genuine?

    My iPhone 12 mini main camera has started to blur photos. When trying to take a photo, I sometimes hear a faint buzz, and I can see the camera continually focussing/defocussing. A local iPhone repair shop say they can fix it, but when I asked if they'd replace it with a genuine Apple camera...

    Where can I find iPhone cases that are flush with the camera lens?

    I'm looking for any iPhone case that surrounds the lenses on the camera module but also covers the bump and is not raised any higher than the rest of the phone case. Basically like the picture shown below, flush with the camera lens module.

    Does the front facing camera in the iPhone 15 have OIS?

    Apple's product page only mentions Auto Image Stabilization. I attempted to take a few pictures while simulating hand tremors with the phone. The stabilization isn't as effective as that of the rear camera. Is this to be expected? Could it be due to the size of the front camera and the range of...

    iPhone 15 Pro iPhone 15 Pro - Which Focal Lengths Are Optical?

    I've been researching this extensively but haven't found a definitive answer. I own an iPhone 15 Pro and I'm interested in understanding which focal lengths utilize optical zoom rather than digital zoom. Additionally, I'm curious about the camera capabilities of the iPhone 15 Pro Max in this regard.

    iPhone 14 Pro Max Entire optical zoom range.

    There have been some useful discussions here about optical zoom on the iPhone 15 pro Max, but I think I have a more specific question. If you open the “wheel”, i.e. by holding your finger on one of the focus buttons, if you rotate the entire wheel is it sitting in optical all the way 0.5x until...

    iPhone 15 Pro Max Moonshot on iPhone 15 Pro Max - Focus problem

    Hullo, I just traded in iPhone 14 Pro Max to the equivalent iPhone 15 Pro Max. A few days ago, I tried to take a telephoto shot of the moon. I was able to do this with the 14 Pro Max, but I am having trouble with the 15 Pro Max moonshot. The camera/app refused to properly focus on the moon...

    Other [POLL] HEIF v JPG - What is your default iPhone picture format & why?

    I'm taking a fresh look, as I prepare to transition to an iPhone 15 Pro Max; do most people accept the default HEIF? HEIF (High Efficiency) vs JPG (Most Compatible) Does HEIF still have significant compatibility barriers, when sharing photos?

    iPhone 15 Pro: 24 MP > 48 MP?

    According to this article, iPhone 15 Pro's 24-megapixel photos are better than 48-megapixel shots. I’m confused by this. Does this apply to just HEIF format or HEIF and RAW? https://petapixel.com/2023/09/18/apple-explains-what-the-iphone-can-and-cant-do-and-why/ The details: Photographers...

    Third party apps can't focus close up documents in iPhone 15 pro

    For setting up my new phone, some bank apps needs to upload on ID document (NIF). For this, they use their own app. The problem is, third party apps (not all of them, like Amazon) do not automatically switch to the ultra angular lens for close up photos, and so can't scan the document. One app...
