iPhone front camera replacement

Blurry selfies? A black screen during video calls? Or a front camera that does nothing at all? Annoying, but usually easy to fix.

On iPhones with Face ID, the front camera sits together with the sensors in a single module. Replacing it is therefore precision work. FIXNOW first runs a diagnosis and discusses the price with you. Only then do we get to work.

Your iPhone reports that the camera is unavailable

What you can try yourself first

Clean the glass

Sometimes a blurry image is simply a dirty lens. Gently wipe the front camera clean with a dry, soft cloth.

Restart your iPhone

A restart sometimes fixes a temporary glitch in the camera app.

Test in another app

Try the camera in the camera app and during a video call. If the problem shows up everywhere, it runs deeper.

How FIXNOW handles it

Diagnosis

We first check whether it's dirty glass or a fault in the camera itself. You'll know right away where you stand. The price per model is listed on this page.

Repair

If replacement is needed, we work within the module where the front camera sits together with the sensors. That requires attention, and it gets it.

Testing

After the repair, we check the camera and Face ID. That way everything works again the way you're used to.

Why this is precision work

On iPhones with Face ID, the front camera sits in a small, densely packed area with several sensors. A replacement has to happen there very carefully. At FIXNOW, we take the time for that.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my front camera blurry, even after cleaning?

Then dirt is probably not the cause. If the lens itself is damaged, the image stays blurry no matter how well you clean it. In that case, replacement is needed.

Can the front camera be replaced on its own?

On Face ID models, the front camera isn't a separate part in the device — it sits in one area together with the Face ID sensors. Replacing it is therefore precision work. We look at what's needed per model.

Does Face ID still work after the repair?

We check that as standard. The module with the sensors requires careful assembly. We test Face ID and the camera before you get your iPhone back.

Could it just be dirt?

Very often, yes. A speck of dust or a smudge on the glass already causes a blurry selfie. That's why we clean and test first, before replacing anything.

How long does a front camera repair take?

That depends on your model and what the diagnosis shows. Often you'll be ready while you wait. We discuss the approach with you beforehand.
