I got that same kit and at first was overwhelmed but just watched your video and fixed my phone, SOOOO much cheaper than. a phone repair shop, THANK YOU
I watched a TON of videos. Yours was THE best explanation ever. Nice and quick, and really walking through the steps. It is nerve racking no matter what but i got it done! Thank you
Just used this video to replace the glass over one of my lenses on my 13 Pro Max and this was a lifesaver! I will say if anyone is having trouble getting the old glass out, using a hairdryer to warm up my old adhesive helped a lot to get the last bits loosened up. ◡̈ thank you!!
Thank you SO MUCH!!! This was very helpful. As others here have pointed out, a direct heat source was invaluable in moving the process along. I used my hot metal woodburning kit instead of a hair dryer. And GREAT quality kit on Amazon. Good value for what you get.
I just replaced my broken lens using your amazing instructions. It worked out perfectly (though it took me 45 mins lol). Thank you! PS: These instructions are especially great because you don’t need to heat up the lens. Was terrified to do that.
Great vid. How has it stood up these past few months for you? I've emailed a few stores and I got one that will do the repair total cost for $45 ($5 coupon). It's about 1:15 min drive though and I most likely will have to leave my phone there (so 5 hour driving time). I already got the kit, so I just need to decide if I want to drive/return the kit or go ahead and do it myself.
Wow that’s pretty easy to repair I figured you would have to dismantle the entire phone and replace the cameras altogether is this the same procedure for the iPhone 12 mini
Hi there - has anyone found thyat when zooming in there are specs on the lens? I have not yet put the new lens on but can clearly see specs of dust on the image. Have cleaned it big time
Good video thanks. Unfortunately that same exact lens cracked today on my 13pro (WITH A LENS PROTECTOR) and it was barely a 4 feet (max) drop without any force. Either the lens protector was garbage or the iPhone lens’ are super fragile or both.
Dropped my 13 pro from back pocket height onto the floor and telephoto lens cracked. Even the ultra wide and wide cameras have small scratches on them. Something tells me Apple is not using sapphire or a different weaker kind to what they used to put on their old phones because I have never scratched a lens let alone cracked one
@@anaymakan6989 sapphire is harder to scratch than plain ol’ glass, but it’s more brittle and cracks easier. Tho honestly the iPhone cameras don’t really seem to be made of real sapphire as I’ve seen plenty of people with scratched lenses (sapphire is VERY difficult to scratch with normal everyday items)
Hey! I recently just changed my iphone 13 pro max camera lens. And it turns out that my camera is a bit blurry and there’s some dust around the actual lens. Would I have to take it apart again and clean that part so it won’t be blurry? Thanks!
I figured it out. It’s because all 3 of the glass lenses are different. Like they each have a different thickness border. You need to make sure to put the right one on the camera you are replacing.
@@terrasai2857 you figured out that there is wide angle zoom and normal lens. That’s a separate issue from dirty lens cover glass. The TH-camrs tell you it’s a bad idea to touch the glass with your oily hands, so don’t touch it. When in reality you should inspect it. You should ensure that you’re installing lenses with anything blurry the inner part of the lens. Once you install these glass lens covers, you’d have to break them to remove them. When compared to the original apple lens cover these appear spackled.
Thanks so much for this - so relieved that this is (probably) something I can fix myself. Any advice on how to remove the cracked lens if the glass isn’t actually broken? Will I need to break it further (without damaging the camera 😵💫) so I can lift the pieces out? 😬 My top lens really doesn’t *look* cracked - from what I can tell with the camera on, it’s a really tiny break at the top of the lens - my camera will be useless until it’s replaced 😢
you have to go from the inside of the phone, first by removing the screen, battery and then the camera... you can then from there use a special iPhone glass breaking pen or something that can destroy the tiny piece of glass without damaging the very sensitive cables next to it.
I fixed my bottom lenses just like you taught me! Thank you for posting this tutorial. My camera is blurry in the 1x and can’t get it in focus. Can you help me with getting back to focus on 1x
Anyone know where I could buy a camera lens that’s more similar to the other? I put it on and it’s great but you can tell the black ring around the camera is different from the other lenses and it stands out :///
As far as I can tell each camera has a different zoom level so you won’t get the zoom level of the one you broke. I broke my far zoom. I fixed it with a kit and this video but it’s still out of focus. At least the glass isn’t broken but I can’t zoom in on photos any more without a blurry image.
@@ewanfraser oof so fixing the camera lens won’t do anything? One of my camera lens is broken now if I zoom too much it won’t focus and camera keeps shaking by itself making the picture blurry.
I took my phone to a phone repair and they left my camera dirty they just put the lens over all the dirt and now my camera won’t focus so I’m going to try and do it myself. But what’s the best way to clean the camera without messing it up ?
You are breaking and taking the glass with a metal clamp and u are scratching the lens and around. Nice! There is no way the clamp will not scratch any part
Great how to video, thanks for sharing. Ladies pay close attention as he explains, the key to success is working the rim, get that rim worked out and clean you're in for a happy ending 😨
I got that same kit and at first was overwhelmed but just watched your video and fixed my phone, SOOOO much cheaper than. a phone repair shop, THANK YOU
Is it working properly like before
How much does it cost
THANK YOU SO MUCH; after being told it will be $100 to fix my glass lens, I came to TH-cam and your video. $10 later I just fixed it!!!
Does this affect the quality?
Just replaced my camera lenses cover, thank you! Excellent tutorial. Saved me $35 charge at repair shop
I watched a TON of videos. Yours was THE best explanation ever. Nice and quick, and really walking through the steps. It is nerve racking no matter what but i got it done! Thank you
AND they told me I would have to replace the entire back of camera at ATT--BS--as good instrux from this nice craftsman---THX
Same!!! That’s what apple told me
Just used this video to replace the glass over one of my lenses on my 13 Pro Max and this was a lifesaver! I will say if anyone is having trouble getting the old glass out, using a hairdryer to warm up my old adhesive helped a lot to get the last bits loosened up. ◡̈ thank you!!

And GREAT quality kit on Amazon. Good value for what you get.
Sir, I have a question, my camera is foggy after glass replacement, what could be wrong with it?
I just replaced my broken lens using your amazing instructions. It worked out perfectly (though it took me 45 mins lol). Thank you! PS: These instructions are especially great because you don’t need to heat up the lens. Was terrified to do that.
Thank you very much dear sir!!!
Very useful video!!! Have a nice day to
You and your family members!!!❄
Thanks, this was the vid that explained it best for me. Just successfully replaced it and I feel like a CIA robotics agent.
Thank you so much. I just noticed mine was cracked today. Not sure how but I ordered the kit and now know what to do!
How was the fix?
Hey - this was super helpful. Camera cover lens fixed! Thank you.
Use heat to help soften the adhesive to remove the lens
True true
I appreciate the commentary on your video. Others I’ve watched only had music, I wanted some explanation. Thanks 👍

Thanks for this video! I was able to change out my cracked camera lens from it. Easy steps!
Will this affect water resistance og iphone 13 pro max after a lens being repaired/replaced?
Does this work with iPhone 13 pro? I just cracked mine yesterday and Apple told me it’s about $700 :(
Thank you so much for the video! I didn’t know that to do but your video was really helpful

On the same boat. Fell on to the ground from my car and boom. Cracked and fucked

Thank you very kindly! Be well!
Thanks
I got the XBC kit off Amazon.
Great job thanks for making video.
great video thank you so much!
I replaced mine but now my camera sucks and blurry. Did I do it wrong
Same here 😢
@@sansanna_aroundtheworld7682 i made the mistake of not putting plastic thing on before the lens problem solved
im having the same issue, have you fixed it? i have similar issue but mine was on the 1x lens
Very Helpful! Thank you, just subscribed.
Thanks dude! This was a huge help.
yeah just did mine now my camera is blurry. not sure what i did wrong
After Replacing it does it lower photos quality?
I replaced a lens but it’s not focusing. How can I get it out to try again? Any possibility?
Same issue as me
Same here
The lens covers came from the factory dirty. In the sunlight you can tell how nasty it is inside. Here we go again.
I figured it out. It’s because all 3 of the glass lenses are different. Like they each have a different thickness border. You need to make sure to put the right one on the camera you are replacing.

I don't really have the lens but will the lens protector do the job ?

The amazon kit says it’s currently unavailable. Do you know of a different kit that is available?
Did this on my 12 Pro Mac same lens and now the auto focus is going crazy
did you solve it
I fixed my bottom lenses just like you taught me! Thank you for posting this tutorial. My camera is blurry in the 1x and can’t get it in focus. Can you help me with getting back to focus on 1x
I have the same problem but I think we have scratched the camera
Does the replacement affect the quality of the photo?
im having the same issue, have you fixed it? i have similar issue but mine was on the 1x lens
I want to ask, I ve changed my lense on iphone 11 and small piece of glass fell inside, will it cause any problems for me?
Anyone know where I could buy a camera lens that’s more similar to the other? I put it on and it’s great but you can tell the black ring around the camera is different from the other lenses and it stands out :///
If chaneg the camera glass iphone well not whaterproff ?
one of my camera lens was broken is it effect my others camera? please help me to know this information.
As far as I can tell each camera has a different zoom level so you won’t get the zoom level of the one you broke. I broke my far zoom. I fixed it with a kit and this video but it’s still out of focus. At least the glass isn’t broken but I can’t zoom in on photos any more without a blurry image.
@@ewanfraser oof so fixing the camera lens won’t do anything?
One of my camera lens is broken now if I zoom too much it won’t focus and camera keeps shaking by itself making the picture blurry.
Once glass is off can you clean the lense itself in case debris
I’m doing my lense right now lol
Where’s the link to the kit??
Can this work for my iPhone 13 Pro
Excellent
Good job
Working the rim
Got it fix 😊 thanks and only spend 7 dollars for he set
I have this same problem on my phone oof. The broken camera lens.
Would getting the lens wet with the alcohol wipe cause any issues?
Alcohol dry fast so no
I ended up scratch my blue Len(inside camera Len) after repairing 😢
Hey mate, you think it’s okay to clean dust off the actual camera with a cotton bud or something?
Yeah. I mean don’t overthink it. Anything soft and wind shed lint you’re good to go. Rubbing alcohol is your friend in this case.
Bruh, he js said “IPhone 7 pro max”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What is the price
Don’t scratch it, use mineral turpentine on glue then use isopropyl alcohol to clean
I took my phone to a phone repair and they left my camera dirty they just put the lens over all the dirt and now my camera won’t focus so I’m going to try and do it myself. But what’s the best way to clean the camera without messing it up ?
Alcohol soaked q tip. Be gentle
Thank you!
Did it work
You are breaking and taking the glass with a metal clamp and u are scratching the lens and around. Nice! There is no way the clamp will not scratch any part
It was fine. No scratches
i didint have the kit and didint know what to do, i broke of the access glass and now my camera is white im gonna cry 💀
Water resistance is gone?
Not at all. Went underwater with mine for 3 hours after thE repair. No issues.
Why people call it lens? It looks pretty much like piece of glass without any magnification.
You said iPhone 7 pro max ?
Thanks! Great video!!!
iPhone 7 pro max? 🤨
Great how to video, thanks for sharing.
Ladies pay close attention as he explains, the key to success is working the rim, get that rim worked out and clean you're in for a happy ending 😨
iPhone 7 pro max
Poor lighting. Nobody seems to know how to illuminate the workspace for this procedure. All I see is scraping, but not exactly what to scrape.
Awwwwwww. Poor baby
IPhone 7 pro max
They made a 7 Pro Max? Wow.
They made a 3 pro4x once
bro are so sleeping iphone 7 pro max😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
AND........you forgot to finally clean the lens before the glass went on lol
Is it perfect 😂glass
That's a great way to get microscopic glass fragments into the focal motor. ALWAYS remove the camera before doing this.
Oh pls. Camera is still perfect. Just trying to be annoying in comments. Do it, enjoy your camera. Be done with it.
IPhone 7 pro max lol?
"IPHONE 7 PRO MAX"
how do i clean the blurry ass lens or would that need to be replaced with the glass?
Hmm 7 pro max just jokes it was funny
2 hours of owning the biggest piece of shit phone I’ve ever owned iPhone 14 Pro camera lens smashed out
Are you talking about the new 14? What issues are you having with it? Just curious.
7 pro max 🤣?
What’s funny?
@Fix It Now you are
What is the price
