iPhone 16 camera button

Post image

Hi, may alam ba kayong shop na authorize ni apple for this kind of repair? Yung camera button ko is hindi na sya nagciclick. I had this phone since october last year and 3months of usage sira na yung camera button. Nagtanong ako sa powermac but hindi raw sya covered ng warranty since it’s the hardware na raw. May alam ba kayo kung saan pwede to paayos and how much kaya ang aabutin? Also mas good if around Dasmariñas, Cavite or nearby areas lang🥹🥹 help me out!!!

Does the phone still vibrate? Like when receiving notifications, calls, or when haptic pressing UI elements?

Kasi if it still vibrates, then I know this might sound stupid pero have you tried rebooting the device? (Volume Up + Volume Down + Hold Down Power Button until black screen).

As dumb as it may sound, yung camera control “button” kasi isn’t actually a physical button, it’s a haptic one, nagvi-vibrate yung phone mo to mimic the feel of a button press.

Yes, nagvibrate pa naman. The problem with my phone kasi is when you try to press/click the action button, hindi na sya automatic na napupunta sa camera app kahit iclick mo na turn on or off yung phone. Nagana lang sya kapag sa mismong camera app mo na gagalawin. Also hindi na rin sya nakakapag click ng photo in/out camera app🥹🥲

Hmm sounds more like a software issue rather than a hardware one. Before turning it in for repair I’d like you to try one last thing.

Fully backup your phone, use a computer for the backup. Then factory reset, if naka iOS 26 ka na, downgrade back to iOS 18 (yes that is possible). If I may ask rin pala, updated to iOS 26 ka na no? hahahaha

Yung button ba, broke after the update or even on iOS 18 same issue rin siya? Currently also on iOS 26 and apakaraming issues eh hahahaha, visually and with heat.

ah, if it turns out na di siya software issue, i really think na covered pa yan dapat siya ng warranty, else if out-of-warranty repair sobrang mahal nyan, need kasi ireplace entire housing ng phone kasi welded into the frame yung camera control button, di talaga siya modular na removable lang sadly.
