    I have the iPhone 14 pro for personal use and iPhone 13 Pro for work. I always have a screen protector on my lens but I forgot to replace a protector on my iPhone 13 Pro which caused a cracked on my rear lens (the top one). I went to Apple Store yesterday to get it repaired and they quoted me $499 to get it repaired and they didn’t even have the part! Thank god I found your video to be able to save me $499 and solved this issue myself! Bought the repair kit on Amazon, the same company you bought from and just did it myself. What a life saver!! Thank you so much for making a video of this. I didn’t even bother reading the instructions and just watched your video step-by-step! 🎉 For anyone nervous about doing this procedure, it wasn’t bad at all! I was scared at first but got comfortable as soon as I was able to lift the crack lens and saw what he was talking about in regards to the sensors. Just follow this video and you’ll be fine! 😊

      To Apple this IS a $3 repair in parts,if that’.
      They charge the silly figures bc people fall for it as part of the ‘feeling’.
      Then they go home and see this and puke.
      Well done my man.
      Personally I have a 13pro (3 ‘lenses’) and have found the quality and effectiveness of these cameras as beyond useless especially up close.

    Ive rarely, if ever, dropped my phone, and I had the same issue with the bottom camera lens cracking. Started with a perfectly horizontal line across the entire lens which fractured and ended with a hole in my lens. Apple quoted me $99 to repair the phone, but they ultimately replaced the entire thing because it was “unrepairable” (even though I’m watching you repair yours right now…). I wonder how many other people are cracking their lenses.

    Note that if your lens glass is broken open, you can then get dust and junk in your camera, so don't delay in getting it fixed. You also don't want glass shards falling in there, so probably want to use a strong vacuum. The lens glass is a critical piece and I found that without it you cannot focus correctly. Seems you won't be able to test until you have affixed the new glass. Order sapphire lens glass, not regular.

    I have had various iphones since the summer of 2007. I bought an 14 Pro in the the past year. At the time of purchase I bought a camera lens cover and new otter box. I dropped the phone recently and the lens cover (not the one used in this video, rather a cover sold at time of purchase...) popped off and one of the 3 lenses broke. I have never has a lens break in the past 15 years. I was told that the "fix" would cost at least $600 and that far more than the lens would need replaced. I am confused by this. There is no evidence of any other part of the phone being damaged. So, I will be following the instructions in the video this weekend. Wish me luck!

    I just tried to replace my lens following your video and using the same kit. I must’ve gotten some dust inside, but now I can’t remove the replacement lens. I’ve tried heating it and using both of the tools provided to pry out the replacement lens from the edge, but it’s stuck in there really tightly. Any advice? I just want to try again with another replacement lens but I can’t get it out to try.

      Damn, that's tough. If I were in your shoes, I would try using a keyboard air can cleaner. Just be super careful, but proceed at your own risk. If you're not sure, it wouldn't hurt to contact a local shop and explain what you're doing. Some people are pretty cool and will help you out.

    All 3 of my camera lens glasses on a brand new iPhone 15 pro have cracked, and I never dropped it. They just cracked under pressure in my pocket, apparently. I know several other people with the same issue. Clearly, Apple has a problem with its new glass camera lens supplier.

      There's still a gasket, but I wouldn't call it waterproof; it's more water-resistant than waterproof.

    I just recently shattered my glass camera screen protector in my pocket I had another metal item in my jacket pocket which hit my phone camera screen protector causing it to chip and shatter. The fact is that I just purchased this glass camera screen protector this year so it was somewhat brand new. 😓

    I did this and the lens looks a little bit different from the original one, it is more transparent.
    Also it looks like it is susceptible to smudges and the camera gets blurry very easily, I have to clean it before I take pictures.
    Did anyone else have this issue? I don't know if I did something wrong.

      This is very likely due to the heat used to melt the glue. The instructions are way too aggressive with the heat. The sensor is very sensitive and no way it can stand 5min of hair dryer. It’s very misleading. A lens replacement that would’ve cost under $100 turned into a camera replacement that costs $300.
