I gave my iPhone 12 to my granddaughter a couple of months ago and just within the past week or so these lines have been showing up. These were taken of a bare wall so that you can see the problem. She says she didn't drop it and it didn't get wet. Before I call Apple I thought I'd throw it out there to see if it's a common malady. Any help would be appreciated.

I, too, have an iPhone 12 but have never seen anything like that before. I will watch this post to find out what the issue is so I will be prepared in case it ever happens to me.

Best of luck!!

Is the image displayed before "taken" the same?

I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and haven’t seen this, either. What were those shots of? It looks like a piece of cloth, or a sheet, like a bed sheet.

The shots are of a "bare" wall.

That's weird...
Camera software (that saves the image) got corrupted?
Hard to imagine how it would create a pattern though.
A "filter" gone nuts?

If that’s a bare wall, maybe it’s time to give Apple Care a call.

It almost looks like something in one of the lens surfaces has been warped or moved. Perhaps a lens coating of some sort has twisted, but that would likely have been due to having fallen on a hard surface or perhaps to a heat source that could cause the lens to buckle. It is a plastic lens.

I have never seen that before. Are you sure it is not something on the lens. Keep us posted please.

Nothing on the lenses. I called Apple and wasted 45 minutes. I then took it to a nearby mall. There are two phone repair kiosks there. I took and showed the phone to the proprietor of the first one and without any hesitation at all told me that "the camera is shot and has to be replaced". $125. I then took it to the next kiosk and without any hesitation, the gal told me that it needed a new camera. $80. A half hour later, my granddaughter and I walked away with a perfectly functioning iPhone and a big smile.
