If your iPhone photos look blurry, Apple warns of risks from magnetic accessories

Apple has warned that some magnetic accessories can create magnetic interference with an iPhone’s rear camera, potentially degrading optical image stabilisation and autofocus and resulting in blurry photos. The company said the guidance, public since 2024, does not indicate a new defect limited to the iPhone 18 series. Accessories such as detachable magnetic cases, cover-type cases and car mounts may pose risks if magnets sit close to the camera.
