The iPhone now displays a warning that the camera cannot be verified, and in a support document, the Cupertino-based tech giant explains users could experience all kinds of issue when using a non-genuine part. For example, the camera might fail to focus or take images that aren’t sharp, third-party apps could freeze or crash, while the Portrait mode could take photos with the subject out of focus.
