A disturbing iPhone 14 Pro camera bug has been confirmed by Apple and is getting a fix.

As reported by 9to5Mac and shared on YouTube and social media, Apple's iPhone 14 Pro camera system goes into almost uncontrollable shaking when used with a handful of third-party apps.

In another video shared on YouTube, an iPhone 14 Pro owner is running TikTok while the iPhone 14 Pro camera system shakes violently enough to make the video almost blur and for the phone to make a buzzing sound. Similar videos were shared on Twitter by users of the app Snapchat, which is also affected.

We've used the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, which shipped on September 16, extensively and with both apps and found no similar problems. However, the issue is serious and real enough that Apple acknowledged it in a statement to TechRadar. 

"We’re aware of the issue and a fix will be released next week,” said an Apple spokesperson in an email.

There was no further detail on why this is happening or exactly what these users are seeing. Some iPhone 14 Pro customers have surmised that this is related to the optical image stabilization system, but it could just as easily be the system that switched between lenses for, say ultrawide and telephoto.

While it's concerning that Apple's new iPhone 14 line is suffering through an early, yet noticeable bug, Kudos to Apple for quickly acknowledging it and prepping a quick fix.

Considering the importance of the iPhone 14 Pro's new camera system (48MP pixel-binning sensor, new ultrawide camera, new 2X zoom option), a bug like this could make the phone essentially unusable.

There are some concerns that using the phone with these third-party apps while the shake occurs could lead to phone damage, but Apple offered no confirmation on that.

Still, while we wait for that fix, we think it might be best to use apps that don't cause the iPhone 14 Pro camera to shake.

If you're thinking about switching out from the iPhone, here's a list of our best phones of 2022.

Latest Tech News

In the run-up to the Nvidia GTC event on September 20, there have been tons of rumors and leaks, especially concerning the Nvidia RTX 4090, which is expected to make its official debut. The latest leak, first revealed by Weibo and reported on by Wccftech, is the Lenovo Legion GeForce RTX 4090 model, which may feature a massive triple-slot design that measures 14-inches. 

The pictures also appear to show the length of the OEM, which is quite impressive in size. The triple-slot is a design choice also seen on the RTX 3080 Ti. Lenovo has put out two other models with similar overall designs, the RTX 3090 Ti and the RX 6900 XT.

There are also previously leaked photos of the card pictured inside the Lenovo Legion Gaming PC, showing how it cools itself. According to Wccftech, the triple-fan cooler in the card pushes air through the heatsink and, since the heatsink and backplate extend past the PCB, the air is pushed through the backplate’s cutout. We can also see in another photo the sheer amount of heat pipes attached to the heatsink and what could be a vapor chamber.

Is the RTX 4090 worth it? 

These leaks are painting a clearer picture of the RTX 4090, and, no matter the model, it looks like this will be one massive energy-guzzling graphics card.

But what's the point of such a powerful (and power-hungry) card? The reality is most PC games aren’t strong enough to push past an RTX 3060, let alone truly take advantage of the power from a 3090 or any of the 4000-series.

One could argue that the upcoming Lovelace cards, which include the 4090, could lower the price of the previous gen, but that would have happened over time anyway since the main cause of the inflated pricing — plummeting crypto values, especially Ethereum, meaning more cards on the market and less being bought out by crypto miners — is a nonissue now.

Considering how much energy the 4090 is expected to use, at least 650W of power and possibly more when overclocked, PC builders will have to build around this card. Not to mention the sheer size, which will also affect the overall build.

And the worst part of this is whether the specs and benchmarks are even worth the power cost which, according to leaks so far, doesn’t seem to be the case. Of course, this is all conjecture based on rumors so take this all with a grain of salt.
