iPhone 12 Pro Max Small hair in the camera lens

[Guity]

hello everyone, while I was cleaning my newly purchased iphone I noticed that there is a little hair with the help of the flash, what should I do ... I should send it under warranty or keep it as it is ... honestly it does not bother me so much also because without a right light is not even noticeable.

Personally I’d return or warranty.

Does it effect your photos in anyway? If not, I would just keep and use.

Personally I’d return or warranty.

I would also change it but it may take months to give it back to me as I bought it from a retailer and therefore he would have to send it to apple support and also count the delays related to the coronavirus ..

I would send it in for service or return it if possible.

Just keep in mind that you may end up with a more noticeable issue after a repair or exchange. My 12 Pro has a very tiny piece of dust under the front camera lens, but it’s only visible under very bright light. Everything else is great with my phone. I decided not to risk finding another issue with a replacement/repair. If you look closely enough, you can find small defects on every mass produced product - even watches that cost thousands of dollars.

You can try and take several dozen photos and see if you can see anything in the images. I would try both dark and bright images. In all honesty though I don't believe it will affect your photography.

Have you tried sending it to the service?

 

[PaladinGuy]

If you have it repaired, they’ll have to open the phone up and expose it to more dust and such. I don’t think I’d risk that, though I completely understand not being wild about having something behind the glass. I have a very small piece of dust under the front glass where the true depth camera is. I can only see it I’m very bright outdoor light.

I've seen so many iphones with specs of dust under the camera glass that it's now the first thing i look for. Used to be a lot worse. Hope you got it repaired because even if you can't see it in an image now who says it won't move and mess with your image a year out.

I know this is an old thread but..
My iPhone 11 has this exact ”hair” or dust fibre on the edge.
It doesn’t affect my pictures at all.
I was curious, did you end up keeping it?

i am having the same problem. Can anyone help?

Ask yourself. Is the repair worth the risk of getting other issues ?

For the price you paid for the phone I would return/exchange it.
