Switched from 13 PM to 14 PM. When in first switch encountered the problems OP mentioned. But within a month or two of updates all was well. After that I cracked the back glass (accidentally) and scratched the front (not so accidentally) and for the price of two apple care repairs (front glass/back glass) got a brand new phone 14PM with no issues.

No case. Apple care. No prblems.

Sorry in advance:

EXPOSURE!!! this is my favorite camera setting. Absolutely fantastic for taking night time pictures.

Camera down so if you sit the camera is protected by your pants (assuming back pocket). In the rain camera UP! CAMERA UP IN RAIN!!! If the camera is down in the rain, the water will get in the charging port.
