Wow, this is the perfect video for learning how to fix your iphone camera lens! I cracked one of the lenses on my iPhone 13 and bought the repair kit for $11 on Amazon. I used this video to replace my lens and I did it in less than 10 mins! Thanks for the vid!!! 🙏🏾

[@J4Gv33r]

Can you please share the link for the camera glass?

[@jakobraible1672]

Do you remove the adhesive ring that comes with most lenses when using your own glue?

[@Amdecon]

Can we stop calling the glass covers lenses please. The lenses are on the camera that is in the phone. The broken part is a cover.

[@vcubed7275]

Exactly

[@irepairitall]

I like the way you protect the lens, the uv coating ont the lens is very fragil, a lot of guides out there where they directly put heat on the lens. Goos job!

[@JohnPanzavecchia0001]

Great video but the music was blasting

[@Natthanaruj]

The lens broke and when I turned on the camera there was a sound. If we change the lens, will the sound go away?🙏

[@yyib]

Same question here

[@padraigwastaken]

"dot matrix sticker" seems to bring up a lot of those kind of stickers

[@BillAnt]

It's not a good idead to pick the shards of glass off from the outside without removing the camera. It can either scratch the lens or worse, seize up the autofocus-motor, then it becomes an over $100 repair. I've had plenty of customers bring in their "attempted" repairs. But hey, to each their own.

[@iDoctorUK]

Whether you think this should be or shouldn't be done, as you said yourself, customers will try and do it themselves. This video shows an option for protecting the inner lens and explains the risks clearly.

[@YoungHeartedSoul]

So what would you so in this situation? Open the phone?

[@BillAnt]

​@@YoungHeartedSoul - Yes opening the phone and removing the camera while working on the glass is much safer, your choice.

[@YoungHeartedSoul]

@@BillAnt ha wish u were close to nyc. The outer glass on one of the cameras cracked. Iphone 12 pro max.

[@BillAnt]

​@@YoungHeartedSoul - Maybe you can ask your local repair shop to remove the camera before working on the glass for safety. Here in Ohio it runs $29 parts and labor, probably more in NYC.

YOU ARE REALLY GREAT.........

[@iDoctorUK]

Thank you for watching

[@T33haa]

i did this, but my lens are not focusing its always blur. is there something I did or broke?

[@stuartjameshall2412]

Easy to replace. However, after replacing the glass on mine I noticed that when in wife mode (the wide lens had cracked) the view was blurry. I was sure I had wiped the lens with alcohol and cleaned well enough and hadn’t touched the new glass cover. Any ideas?

[@T33haa]

im having the same issue, have you fixed it? i have similar issue but mine was on the 1x lens

[@gilgriselda74]

Is the same for iPad Pro if one lens is damage

[@chinaphonefixteam6300]

Love your videos ! Keep up the great work

[@justrite32]

I need the whole package

[@mikescott4008]

How much do Apple charge to replace the glass on the lens?

[@JimmyJohnson-ub4rt]

Awesome thanks

[@ozscott75]

What adhesive do you recommend for sealing? I know you said the brand but is there a particular one in the product range?

[@Mark-qt8fs]

That tape did nothing XD

[@brianno27]

Hi Would is still be waterproof mate?

[@iDoctorUK]

The adhesive is a silicone based gasket adhesive that we use to re-seal Apple Watches that people take swimming so I suppose it would

[@brianno27]

@@iDoctorUK ok thanks mate

[@drewwilkins9963]

The heat gun melted the lens housing and the lens appears crystalline as well. Game over.

[@mihirjanve85]

Where can I get this original lens for my iPhone 12 Pro Max can you ship it to Birmingham ?

[@iDoctorUK]

This has to be pulled from an original housing.

[@minavamp2811]

the lens is of the camera is inside and under the hole. thit is the camera lens. round piece of glass that covers sits flush to the round circle is just the protector that prevents dust and other tiny object falling on top of the lens that is inside under the hole. so any clear undistorted piece of glass will do.

[@aleksandrak4796]

⁠@@iDoctorUK hi 😊 I’ve bought two original house units (one to practice and one to use as a replacement) to pull the original lens of it, as mine is cracked and I’d like to replace it with the original glass. Can you advise how to safely pull the glass without damaging it? And also where are you based and how much would it cost to replace the cracked glass at your repair shop?

[@hatrer2244]

Dont put the phone down like that so the shards can fall in to the lense. Instead do it upside down, looking up at the phone so the glass will fall away from the lense ;)
