My phone makes noise when I take a picture, is this normal?

The iPhones sold on Back Market come from various geographical locations. Those originally purchased brand-new in Japan have an original feature — the camera makes a sound whenever you take a picture.

They were manufactured this way for the Japanese market, at the request of the local authorities to combat harassment.

If you think you may have received a Japanese iPhone and you don't like this little sound, please reach out to us by logging in to your account > "Orders".
