The iPhone from an Android Perspective

I'm pretty sure you can replace the glass with a cheap kit without needing to take the thing to pieces.

I looked into this on my daughter's iPhone 12 when she smashed hers. Hopefully it's still possible on the newer models.

I’ll stick with a smashed lens!!

I would definitely get a quote just to be sure maybe less depending your damage but see your options

Just got back. £199 they said.
I'll think about it. Haha. Weirdly, the photos are not affected and I have no idea how. But I will want it fixed for future trade in or resale later down the line.

At least you don't have to rush... But I would know myself and definitely have it fixed because my OCD would bother me so much

Yeah I will eventually. But I'm in no rush personally haha.

How - if at all - does it effect the quality of photographs ie does the software not use that lens; does it only effect distance or low light etc?

The thing is that protective glass on top was damaged and because of that something can get inside and damage actual camera lenses/module. I’m not sure if it’s okay to not fix it right now 🤔

He can place one of those individual lens covers over it on the meantime

This iPhone Survived A 16,000-Foot Drop From Alaska Airlines Flight 1282

My phone can barely survive falling off a table.

Exactly like a good stunt person you need to fall gracefully

Wonder if it had A special case on it?

I’ve seen some TikTok videos that show toothpaste applied over a cracked screen and then gently rubbed in can magically make the cracks disappear.

Try that on the camera lens [mention]Aneres11 [/mention] and see how you get on.

If it doesn’t work then you’re either using the wrong brand of toothpaste or you’re doing it wrong .

Also think you need to floss for it to work
