Description

The iPhone 14 Pro’s camera block sticks out a long way, so the lens covers are often the first thing to hit the floor. When one cracks, your 48MP shots start to look soft or hazy, and night photos pick up odd flare. The good news: if only the glass is broken, an iPhone 14 Pro camera lens replacement costs £35.

Which lens is cracked?

The 14 Pro has three rear cameras: the 48MP Main, the 12MP Ultra Wide and the 12MP 3x Telephoto. Open the camera app and switch between 0.5x, 1x and 3x. If the haze appears on one setting only, that tells you which cover is damaged. Bring the phone in and we’ll check it with you.

When it’s more than the glass

New glass fixes haze, flare and spots caused by the crack. It won’t fix a camera that shows a black screen, keeps shaking or never comes into focus. On iFixit, one iPhone 12 owner found the camera wouldn’t focus after removing cracked glass himself, and the advice was that dust may have got behind it. That’s a good reason to have it done properly rather than prising glass out at home.
