GOOD MORNING!
If your iPhone 14 Pro (or Pro Max) camera has gone haywire and got all shakey, you might be wondering if the camera module has been damaged.
How would you know?
Well, that's where this thread comes in.
If you have an iPhone 14 Pro (or Pro Max), PLEASE check and let everyone know if your "auto focus" works for up-close detail. Please note if your camera has gone "shakey" yet or not as well so we can determine if this is breaking the camera OIS.
Let me explain.

My 14 Pro went shakey when I opened Snapchat. The OIS went insane. Lasted 5 seconds until I killed the app. Hasn't happened since.
Ever since then, if I join a facetime call and I put my iPhone 14 Pro close to a computer screen, it will not focus, I have to let the camera be quite a few inches away before it's "in focus". (6 inches to be exact)
I'd like to know if someone whose camera has NOT gone shakey, if their iPhone 14 Pro (or Pro Max) can focus on a Mac's laptop screen (for example) up close while on a FaceTime video call.
THIS TEST can also be run while NOT on a FaceTime call, you can just use the default Camera app on your iPhone 14 Pro (or Pro Max) and turn OFF Macro mode, and see how close you have to be to a computer screen or any subject before it focuses.

I am well aware that the focal distance of the 14 Pro and Pro Max is further than the 13 Pro. But I'm curious if it's really as bad as mine seems to be. Luke Miani also mentioned that he had this issue after his OIS went haywire.
Cheers and feel free to post pics.

For now, I will say that my iphone 14 Pro needs to be at LEAST 6 inches from my MacBook Pro's screen to be in focus. It does NOT autofocus closer than this.
My iPhone X comes into focus at 3 inches.
That 3 inch difference is actually huge. That's why I'm thinking that the OIS issue broke the auto focus for up close images on my 14 Pro.

Feel free to measure how far your phone needs to be from the Mac's screen before it focuses, and let everyone know if you've had the shakey issue or not yet. This will give us a sample size to let us know if we need to return our phones and get fresh ones.
Cheers,
