iPhone 18 Pro Max Camera Rattle: Normal or Service?
A faint rattle when you gently shake the iPhone 18 Pro Max is the normal movement of the sensor-shift optical stabilizer and variable aperture. But a constant hum with the camera app open, visible shake in footage or failure to focus can indicate a faulty stabilizer. Run a video test, remove the magnetic case and update iOS first; if the sound persists, service is required.

짧은 답변 TL;DR
A faint rattle is normal; sensor-shift OIS and the variable aperture move. If the camera hums constantly, footage shakes or focus fails, the OIS may be faulty. Record 4K video on a fixed surface, remove the magnetic case, restart the iPhone and update iOS. If the shake continues, contact Apple Support.

How do you fix it? Step by step

단계 1/7
Describe the sound: rattle or hum?
Gently shake the phone without holding it to your ear. A short, faint rattle is usually normal movement of the OIS and aperture. A constant hum, buzz or mechanical catch while the camera app is open points to a fault.

단계 2/7
Test 1x, 3x and 5x in the camera app
Open the camera app and switch through 1x, 3x and 5x. In each lens, focus on a distant object, move between near and far, and watch for shaking. If the problem appears in only one lens, that module or its OIS is suspect.

단계 3/7
Record video on a fixed surface
Place the phone on a hard surface or a tripod. Record 4K 60 fps video and play it back. Constant shake, wobble or focus hunting in the footage cannot be explained by hand movement; an OIS test is needed.

단계 4/7
Close the camera app and restart the iPhone
Close the camera app fully from the app switcher. Restart the iPhone and open the camera again. Software glitches can leave the OIS running continuously; a restart clears that state.

Install the iOS 27 update
Go to Settings > General > Software Update and install the latest iOS 27 build. Camera and stabilizer fixes, especially for image shake and focus errors, are often included in these updates.
-
단계 6/7
Remove magnetic accessories and retest
Take off MagSafe cases, magnetic car mounts and lens accessories. Their magnets can pull on the OIS motor and cause temporary shake and hum. If the sound disappears without accessories, the accessory is the cause.

단계 7/7
If hum and shake persist, contact Apple Support
If the problem continues without accessories, on current iOS and on a fixed surface, request a remote diagnostic from Apple Support. Without impact or liquid contact, an OIS or camera module replacement may be covered by warranty.
Do not open the camera module yourself; replacing parts that need calibration can void the warranty.

자주 묻는 질문
Is a rattle when shaking the iPhone normal?
Yes, a faint rattle is normal. The sensor-shift optical stabilizer and the variable aperture move magnetically, and those parts rattle slightly when the phone is shaken.
The camera hums while recording video. What causes it?
Constant hum with visible shake usually indicates a faulty OIS motor. A magnetic case or mount can produce the same effect temporarily; remove accessories and test again.
Is a camera replacement covered by warranty?
Without impact, liquid contact or unauthorized repair, it may be covered by Apple's limited warranty. The authorized service provider makes the final decision; open a case through Apple Support.
Does a software update fix camera shake?
If the shake comes from a software bug or a stuck OIS, an update can help. It will not fix shake that appeared after a physical impact; that requires service.
