iPhone Camera Fogging(IPhone 16PM)
My iPhone got really hot, and in a moment of panic, I put it in the freezer—only to quickly realize that was not a good idea. When I took it out(took it out in like 1-2mins of placing it), I noticed that two of the three camera lenses had a light fog around the edges. I initially tried to wipe the lenses, but then realized the condensation was inside. Before I could do anything else, the fog disappeared on its own after a few seconds.
Since then, I’ve been a bit worried. Even though the camera looks completely normal with no visible water residue, I feel like it’s acting a little off—though I can’t tell if it’s just me overthinking or if something actually got damaged. The fog had only appeared along the edges of the main and telephoto lenses, and it went away pretty quickly, but I can’t help but wonder if it might have affected the camera or its autofocus in any way.
