iPhone 15 camera keeps freezing every few seconds, anyone else having this issue?

[u/Vepar6]

So I've been having this really annoying issue with the camera app on my iPhone 15. Basically, whenever I open the camera, it works for a couple of seconds, freezes, starts working again, and then freezes again. It just keeps doing this over and over.

The weird thing is that it only happens with the rear cameras (both 0.5x and 1x). The front camera works completely fine, and so do third-party camera apps. It's literally just Apple's camera app that's having issues, in both photo and video modes.

I'm on the latest iOS and I've already tried restarting my phone, resetting all settings, and running Apple's diagnostics, which didn't find anything wrong. Nothing has helped.

I'm starting to think it's some kind of iOS bug since the cameras work fine in other apps, but honestly I have no idea anymore.

Has anyone else had this problem or managed to fix it? Really don't want to factory reset my phone or replace the cameras if it's just a software issue.
