Evening Apple guys and gals!
Here's an interesting one for you...
New iPhone SE 2nd gen, had it for about a month and a half now, and very happy with it so far. I can even get over the lacklustre battery life, as the way I use my phone isn't really impacted by this. However...
It's recently started to make an audible, mechanical "click" sound whenever an app opens which uses the Camera (i.e. Camera, WhatsApp, FaceBook Messenger etc. etc.). Even stranger, if I restart my phone, the problem goes away for a couple of days (restarted Thursday, sound went, back again today) but then eventually returns. If it was serious physical fault, this surely wouldn't happen, right? Couldn't say how long it's been happening for though, as I thought it was a feature of a specific app. until I noticed that it wasn't. Has it been happening since I installed iOS 14? Not sure.
Spoke to Apple Support last week, and the chap ran diagnostics on my phone. Couldn't find anything wrong and suggested I take it to the Apple Store for examination, but I'm wary of doing this right now for a couple of reasons (a). being work, and b). being COVID), so I'm curious to know if anyone else has heard of this issue/knows the cause of this issue/has any suggestions as to the cause of this issue. I'm wondering if it affected iPhone 8 users too, as I understand it it's the same camera setup in this new brick? Next step will be a factory reset I think.
The phone is still under warranty, so I've no compunction against returning it if it *IS* faulty, barring the obvious environmental considerations (it works fine, why create extra waste) and the pain in the neck of having to do it.
Any thoughts and advice greatly appreciated!
Ta!
