Chosen Solution
The camera on my iPhone 6S+ has recently begun shaking uncontrollably for absolutely no reason whenever the app is open. Video timelapse, everything is affected the same way, no matter what app is used. I’ve scoured the internet looking for others having the same problem, and I have found plenty of 6+ users but no 6S+ phones affected. Does anyone have a quick fix or do I need to send the phone back?
Well, Apple does have a program, replacing these cameras for 6+. You could ask Apple if they’d be willing to do it for yours Thank you, Uncle @mayer https://www.apple.com/support/iphone6plu…
So interesting i put a magnet in front, on the upper right hand of the screen just opposite the rear camera and it completely stops the shaking. My camera works just like new! I got the magnet from an old ipad case (you know the really thin ones, and coin sized.) cut it into a smaller piece And stuck it underneath my iphone case and voila! The shaking is completely gone! Just a temporary fix anyway until i get a new phone some time in the future.
Here is something interesting. After I updated to IOS10.3.3, this issue happened.
For $15 just replace the camera. It fixed the issue.
I fixed it by replacing the rear module. I think some go bad from being defective and others from dropping the phone. Basically the tiny magnesium wire that is attached to the motor breaks and the shaking effect occurs.
From a phone technicians perspective the answer why it shakes is this: There is a metal shield that sits over the camera with two screws in diagonal corners. this also acts as a EMI shield however there is an issue with the grounding of your phone and causes the camera to shake due to an interference. When this shield is on it, it causes an electrical current to touch the metal camera housing due to inproper grounding. The best method is to completely disassemble and find the culprit that isn’t grounding your phone properly. Otherwise removing this shield and securing with some thick tape so the camera doesnt move around is the best economical/DIY option. Keep in mind two screws will have to be removed which very slightly aid reception signals. Attaching a magnet (especially inside) could severely affect the device and cause a myriad of issues such as poor reception, wifi, bluetooth, lcd warping etc
Any updates? I have the same problem
Same problem this sucks
Same with my iphone 6plus.. I check in apple if my phone is eligible..Upon clicking,,it was replaced and not eligible. Is there’s any solution so the shaking camera disappear. Do i need to replace the camera. Please help me on this.Thanks
I have the same issue, tried tapping the camera area in all ways, still didnt work. But i found this solution somewhere in youtube, Put a magnet on the opposite side of your front camera (top right of the screen you are looking at right now) the magnet, will magically, drop diamonds from the sky lol
I downloaded a third party camera app and it works fine. The one I downloaded is called MuseCam. That makes me believe the issue is somehow software related rather hardware. My lens is shaking so hard when using the original Apple camera app that I can here the shaking noise. Like if there is a fly caught inside the phone! Looking at the lense closer also reveals how violently it is shaking. Anyways, from now on I will use that third party camera app. Material:iPhone 6S+. 128Gb. iOS 11.3.1.
Apple iphone had been becoming worst nightmares for me. My 6s+ camera shaking, it had rebooted several times for upgrade and after upgrade this camera issue started. Also on iphone 7, it seems a loop back diesese or something that is causing the speaker grayed out and is accepted as a known issue from Apple but they said they would not replace.Still had not been able to find a solution . I hate to be an iphone user
I have an iPhone 7 and my camera looks like it’s just vibrating or shaking. Is there anything I can do to fix it with out calling Apple
Does replacing the rear camera fix this issue?
I had a client come in yesterday and had the shaking camera. Upon closer inspection of the functions of the phone, I found the compass wasn’t reading correctly. I used a magnet as suggested by @Gibbz Arcilla and it fixed the shaking camera and the compass. I believe it is a board level problem. The customer did use the magnet for the future so I was unable to diagnose the actual problem. Side note the phone was ripped apart when I received it so it could be anything. As soon as you reboot the phone or close the application the problems come back. So my customer is going to tape it to the glass.
Purchased a tempered glass case that fitted via tiny magnets ,not cheap approx 32$ . This has proved to have caused the wobble on my iPhone 6s Plus . Awaiting reply from supplier for a refund
Download this app MuseCam. My camera is not shaking anymore.
I want to share really interesting detail about shaking camera view. Tried everything “magnet trick, tapping camera trick or 3rd party camera software” and none of them worked. For long time i was dealing with my phone’ faulty battery and i use external battery pack frequently. Today while phone was plugged to external battery; used camera and shaking camera view was gone. When you think about coincidence, it makes sense. If battery doesn’t supply proper voltage for camera and screen, fluctuation on screen may happen. I think apple wants to hide it from users because they just ended their iphone 6 battery replacement on december 2018. And as i understand this issue covers multiple models; “iphone 6, 6plus, 7,7plus, and even newer models”
same issue but when i put the camera mode to Slow Motion then it stop shacking… apple have to admit this is his manufacturing fault and they should repair it for free… Update (02/07/2019) https://www.apple.com/support/iphone6plu… check your phone here the do repair it for free…
I solved the problem with 3rd party camera apps. By the way, despite the shaking, it’s not seen as eligable for iSight camera replacement program.
Fixed it without replacing the camera!!! I have been having the rear camera shaking problem for more than 2 months, as I was not using it. One day I required it desperately and did not work. That is when I sat on it to fix it. After I opened the Iphone 6S plus and removed the camera module. If you notice the lens inside has been detached and shakes from it place. That is the reason of the problem. So what I did was, stuck the lens to the lens body(not the iphone body) with some hot glue. You can also use other glues which will help to keep the camera in place without moving. Ola!!! It is fixed. P.S. : Please be careful while removing the connectors as you may damage the touch or screen cable.
