You actually don't need to take the phone apart to remove and replace the camera lens. I mean... Both ways work. But you can just use some heat and a sharp object like a razor to pop out the lens. I made a video on the process if anyone is interested.

should disconnect battery first before reattaching screen flex cables otherwise there is a risk to shorting out the back light circuit.

not real video. pre-prepared before. much work around the getting out the frame between lens and camera.

darn. i was so excited to get it fixed too i even bought the part from you. bracket doesnt seem possible to remove

To anyone reading this trying to figure out what to do at this step, the video is misleading. the bracket in the 6s is soldered in. you have to break it out and replace it with adhesive. everything is pretty straight forward from there

Thanks so much! I feel confident using my iPhone 6 without a case now knowing how simple and cost-effective it is to repair the camera lens.

Very good video. Step by step. Only problem I ran into was the camer lens clip was stuck on. Hard a hard time getting it out. But no fault of the video.

So I made it work! A few tips: 1. I recommend getting a replacement camera together with the lens ring. The bracket will inevitably break, but you do not need to replace it! Just insert the camera without the bracket, there will be no issues - the space inside is super tight. 2. Expect having to use brute force :) 3. Heat helps (but expect no miracles) - I held it under hairdryer for around 45s. It is pretty scary though. 4. There is another tutorial where the guy claims this can be done (with a razorblade) without disassembly - DON'T DO IT! I tried that first because my lens ring was already cracked, but ultimately I had to diassemble my iPhone anyways. Did not work and I bent the rear panel slightly. 5. If there are any problems with display, you probably did not attach one of the cables right, so don't panic, just recheck everything. Good Luck!!

In my case I took over a month to get it fixed (and my lens got super dirty) so I was just concerned that my camera lens gets scratched. Also the camera was just around $20 so I didn't mind really having it as a back-up in case I screw something up (I heard a lot about iPhone brackets breaking online and basically messing up the camera - this did not turn out to be true).

is the actual camera bracket (the one between the phone and the camera part) necessary?

I fixed it by ruining the entire bracket. I assume it was welded there.Now I dont have a bracket in there but it seems to be fine. How could u possibly fix it without harming the bracket that I don't get from your video and it is a bit inaccurate I would say. Yet helped and I fixed it. Thank you.

Great video, very helpful ... I was able to do it, but must have screwed up the LCD cable somehow because there are now vertical white stripes at the very top of the screen where the time is displayed. It's okay, I can live with it and maybe I'll try to fix it at some point if I'm feeling adventurous. Just leery of making the problem worse. Bought a kit through Amazon and it worked well except for the screwdriver, which was a flat head instead of a Phillips. Only one screw gave me a really hard time because it was on there tight. Would definitely recommend using a Phillips instead to ease the process. Some tips ... you can put the tiny screws on a piece of duct tape to prevent losing them and also keep track of which one goes where. Agree with other comments here about the bracket being welded on ... I was able to remove it mostly intact. It was bent badly out of shape, but I did put it back in. The lens was quite difficult to get out. I would suggest pushing all around the ring, rather than just focusing pressure on one area. That probably would have made it easier. I also tried the external method of heating the area and using a razor blade, but was unsuccessful. Don't know how that could work when it was so hard to get the lens out even pushing from the inside, especially without slicing yourself badly. I must have gotten a dot of glue on the inside of the lens, so I used the pentalobe screwdriver tip wrapped in an eyeglass cloth, dipped in acetone to wipe it clean, followed by glass cleaner. It's not perfect, but a great improvement over my previously shattered lens. My last comment would be, when reattaching the cables, to use your finger and get a feel for how it goes back on. My first try, the digitizer was obviously not connected because the touch screen was totally non-functional. Also, the LCD cable must have been wrong too because the screen just flashed and scrolled upwards constantly. I couldn't even turn it off since the touch screen wasn't working, so I wound up working on the cables with the phone on, which wound up working out well since I could test to make sure it was done right (mostly right). Not sure if this is frowned upon, but I didn't get shocked for what it's worth.

@clintonkollars7715

If you see white stripes it means you did not completely press one of the camera cables into place. Just open phone back up and rescuer the terminals.

Why phillips on the pentalobe screws?

Whats the name of that glue?

Best method to do this is bust out the glass lens after removing the camera, heating it up with a hair dryer, and using plyers to yank out the lens. Very sketchy and nearly bent the iPhone doing so but this what I found worked for me with only a minor bending to the bracket that holds the camera.

Link for glue

As you might guess the old glass doesn't quite come out so easily, my glass just popped out leaving the surround and not much to push against. Ended up taking a 7mm drill to it and it worked like a charm.

Wit Rigs how to order with in the link below

I did this multiple times and every single time the pins and metal base that were removed in Step 4 would get bent beyond possible usage. I suggest not doing it as the video says, I recommend heating the glass lens from the back of the phone until the glue holding the lens softens, then pushing it out from within. From there just glue a new lens where the old one was. I found this to be WAY less of a hassle and doesn't require any brute force in trying to pry it out.

I tried very hard to get the lens out from the outside of the case and couldn't do it. So i would strongly recommend going into the phone and pushing it out which is not too difficult except for the bracket. When you get a new lens cover you get a new bracket, i would say it is impossible to remove the bracket without breaking it, it required tweezers to get most of the bracket but strong pliers were needed to fully remove it. I also cracked a replacement lens trying to re insert it, because it was too big. Maybe someone here knows if Model A1586 Iphone 6 has a particularly small lens cover, otherwise i would suggest contacting sellers of replacement lens's before buying.

You’re saying to push out the camera lens with force. I did that and I ended up shattering my parts iphones lens. (I was using my old bricked iPhone as a donor)

I can tell you're good with your hands.

what about the glue?

This is pre-prepared, the gasket he took out at 1:12 is all in one piece with the lens. So you basically have to yank it out and break the metal piece. If your lens is broken and needs to be replaced it shouldn't matter if the gasket is broken anyways.

Trying to find that glue - seems like the brand is Loctite from the video, but which variant I do not know.

On the 5 that you remove, be sure to label each one, as they are several different sizes, and they're only 1/16" different in size, so organize them to know which will go where when you put it back!......Good luck!.

The hardest part is pushing out the lens. It's micro tack welded to the "Easily breakable frame". you'll need to use enough force to break the weld. You can probably do it with a razor, or brute force pry it off with a small pair of needlenose pliers, but you risk wrecking the camera. An inexpensive replacement from Amazon.

Could be a damaged pin on the logic board itself. make sure to inspect the pins as well. If one is broken, that could mean that any new camera will not be detected. The best you can do is resolder the entire pin connection. Even that is extremely difficult for veteran solderers.

I don't see how you got that bracket out like that, it's soldered down. I just ripped it out, it's not really needed. Just be careful when applying glue that it doesn't get on the lens or other components, it doesn't take much to make it stick. I just finished doing this and I was sweating.
