Iphone 16 pro max camera crash issues

I have been experiencing this problem many times a day, rebooting my 16 pro for it to work only for a short time. Camera crashes, heating, you name it. It took me a long time to have everything working after the change from my old phone, even recovering a copy so I was not willing to start with a fresh os and download and configure everything, specially when I read that this does not seem to work. But I read that someone tried “resetting all settings” under settings- General - transfer or reset iPhone - reset. I tried that yesterday and it seems to have worked! No issues since! I can open my camera and take pictures now when before it would crash immediately. True I had to install all my cards again in wallet, configure my alarms, notifications, WiFi passwords etc but my watch was still connected, my apps mostly configured… not too bad.

I have the problem with the camera with the IPHONE 16 PRO MAX ON IOS 18.01. When I was trying to take a picture immediately the screen turn off and it restart to Lock Screen. It happened so many times I contacted apple support and they advised me to restart from fabric, I did it. PROBLEM PERSIST! Is a hardware problem, a bug, or iOS problem? This is unacceptable to a brand new phone!

Some people have resorted to 3rd party camera apps or even using Instagram and saving to the camera roll manually. It's sad such a critical kind of bug has been released- I'm finding a lot of bugs that need attention.

I have the same issue on my iPhone 16 pro with iOS18.0.1. It’s just crash and start over heat. It even have issue with my wireless charging(charging is very slow with battery more than 60%, 2% per hour with Belkin boost charge pro). The only way is to restart it every day which is quite annoying. After I try your solution, reset all setting, the camera crash , over hear, slow wireless charging problems are all gone. It worth a try for who has these problems.

Same problem here ... really frustrating. Glad to read about it as it is software. If 18.1 doesn't fix it (was hoping 18.01 would fix it), will go to Genius Bar.

I find the new shutter button makes it worse.

The same problem when i took a photo of a moon outside with 5x zoom. Suddenly shutdown my camera and never captured anything. I tried again and the same issue. Wtf for a millions iphone they produced we are so lucky to got this system issue. 😬

They advise to reset it with iTunes, like a fabric reset… still didn’t fix the problem! Problem still persist…

I escalated this to second line support. It's now a recognized problem. Engineering is investigating but no fix identified (so it won't be fixed in 18.1).

I am now investigating alternative camera apps.

This is so frustrating.. I did that also a factory reset with my Mac and the problem persists.. I couldn’t use my iPhone to take a picture while I’m talking by the phone, AirPods got disconnected and it lock my phone to the main screen. Can’t believe!

Any background noises while recording videos and these also lagging ??
