Metal/Magnetic Accessories Causing Camera And NFC Issues On iPhone 6/6 Plus

December 18, 2014 by Sid 3 Comments

A new issue seems to be affecting the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus when using cases made out of metal or magnetic accessories such as camera lenses. Using a magnetic lens attachment on the iPhone 6 Plus will screw up itsĀ Optical Image Stabilization. Also, metal cases are inhibiting the NFC on both devices to function properly.

iPhone-6-Lenses

Apple did not mention this clearly at the time of the launch, that using a metal case or accessories with magnets can cause problems with your new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. A support document from Apple does ask users not to use magnetic lens attachments as it messes with the Optical Image Stabilization. A small number of users have also reported that using a Metal case affects the NFC on the new iPhones.

For those, who like to use magnetic lens attachments when taking pictures or shooting videos on the iPhone 6 Plus, this is a big disappointment. A video below shows what happens to the Optical Image Stabilization when using a lens attachment on the iPhone 6 Plus. It’s bad!

The only way to avoid these problems is to not use any lens attachments when using the camera on your iPhone 6 Plus. And if you like using NFC a lot, try removing the metal case, if you’re using one.

    I think it’s unfortunate that the photo you selected was of a Moment Lens which does not attach to the phone magnetically. You don’t even mention the lens in the story or video and it could be seen that this lens causes the issue when in fact I have tested it on my 6 Plus and it does not. Bad image choice to illustrate your story in my opinion.

    Hi Mike,

    I have seen no change in reception at all either with LTE or WiFi. In terms of Apple Pay, I can’t comment since I live in Toronto Canada and Apple Pay has not made it here yet but I am really looking forward to it when it arrives.

    All the best
