On September 20th， according to reports， a user shared on a social media platform that their newly acquired iPhone Air experienced internal lens fogging within just one day of use. This incident has raised questions regarding the real-world environmental adaptability of Apple’s ultra-thin iPhone.
Internal fogging of camera lenses due to drastic temperature changes or humid environments is not an entirely new phenomenon for electronic devices. However， for a premium product like the iPhone， such an issue has understandably caused dissatisfaction among users.
It remains unclear whether this is a widespread issue. Even if the fogging inside the iPhone Air’s camera lens dissipates on its own， it could still negatively impact the first impression for early adopters. Some speculate that a potential decrease in the device’s air-tightness might be a contributing factor to this problem.
If internal fogging occurs in the iPhone Air’s camera lens， it is recommended to place the device in a room-temperature environment for an extended period to allow the moisture to evaporate naturally. It is also advisable to store and use the phone in a dry environment to prevent recurrence. Apple has previously stated that internal fogging of camera lenses is not considered normal and can potentially lead to hardware damage.
At this juncture， it is premature to definitively classify this as a manufacturing defect and further feedback from a larger user base is necessary to draw a conclusive assessment. Users experiencing this issue are advised to follow Apple’s guidance for natural drying. Should the problem persist， contacting Apple customer support is the recommended course of action.
