Camera lens scratches

Is there an ongoing issue with the camera lens on iPhone 4? My husbands lens is very degraded and my phone (only 9 months old) has scratches on the lens despite taking great care of it. Is this repairable and is the issue being resolved with newer models?

I have the same problem. My iPhone 4 takes very cloudly pictures due to so many scratches. I've heard Apple will replace the back panel for $29 (which includes the camera lens) I'm probably going to end up taking it to a Apple store and get it replaced

        I'm sorry to learn that your camera lens is scratched and this causes blurry pictures charmed29488! Do you have insurance on your phone? If you do, you may be able to get an insurance replacement for physical damage. You can submit a claim online http://bit.ly/07CrqPK at your convenience.

  • Can you get just your rear camera lens replaced or do you have to get the entire back screen replaced?

    I recently dropped my phone for the first time, and neither of my screens cracked but my rear camera lens did get scratched badly. I can't use it at all to take picture. It just shows up as a fuzy screen when I open my rear camera. My iPhone isn't even a year old yet. Now, I need to know if I can get just the rear lens replaced or if I have to get the entire back screen replaced? I also need to know if anyone knows how much either of these would cost? Or is it free with the one year warrenty?

    You would have to get the rear glass panel replaced, it is one part. Normal warranty does not cover accidential damage. You can do it yourself for 50$:

  • Is it possible to have the camera lens replaced?

    Some how my camera lens has gotten scratched up, so now every time I take a picture it comes out blurry. Is it possible to have the lens replaced? Has anyone ever had that done?

    I don't believe Apple does this.  They will exchange your phone under an out of warranty exchange for $149

    You can not. At least not from any legitimate sourde. Apple does not sell iPhone parts. The iPhone is not user servicable.

  • Dust inside back camera lens

    Just noticed two specs of dust inside my wife's iPhone 4, she bought it in July 2010.
    The cut the long story short, photo's from that phone always looked "soft" (like the lens was dirty) when compared to the photos from my iPhone 4.
    Yesterday, however, I had to take some indoors pictures with my wife's phone as mine was out of available storage. Most of the photos and videos looked rubbish: huge halos around light sources, grain, weird colours, very soft (inferior even compared to a friend's 3GS). So I knew something was wrong, and then I noticed two specs of dust inside the camera lens, right in the middle. The phone is otherwise immaculate apart from a tiny screen scratch. I guess the dust was there from day 1, as photos never looked right.
    Is this supposed to happen over time? Is the lens unit sealed? Is Apple likely to fix it under warranty (the phone is 8 months old)?
    Cheers,
    GB

    The phone comes with a one-year warranty. Make an appointment at an Apple store. If your phone is deemed defective, it will be replaced on the spot.

    Anyone has any ideas? Thank you so much.

    How did you scratch it?

  • Can I have the camera lens replaced on my phone?

    Hi all. The lens on my camera is scratched, can I get it replaced somehow?? Can I do it myself??
    Thanks so much, have a great day.

    Apple does not service components individually; all service is a replacement of the iPhone with another unit (usually refurbished). They would probably replace your iPhone, but at a cost ($199 to $299 US, depending on the model). There are some independent sites that purport to offer a repair, or that will sell a new lens (search the web for something like "iPhone repair" or "iPhone parts"). You have to take the case apart which will probably void the iPhone's warranty.

  • Purple Camera Lens Crack -- Covered?

    I'm not sure if this is a question anyone can help with, but about a month ago I noticed a mark showing up in my iphone photos. At first I thought it was a dead pixel, but I realized when I zoomed in that it was purple which can only mean its a microscopic crack or scratch in the camera lens. >.<
    Idk how it got there, but it's definitely a huge eye sore in my photos. Any advice on what to do in this case?
    Is this something that would be covered by my phone insurance (my provider is at&t) or something I could visit the Apple Store to have fixed? or is that only covered by Apple Care?

    I went to the Apple Store here in Sweden with the same problem. The genius looked at the phone for 2 seconds and then said they would replace it. No other questions or trouble at all.

  • Camera lens protector for Lumia 620.

    I need a lens protector for my lumia 620 camera but I don't where can I buy it in Kuching . I can get it from Nokia warranty ? Please kindly help me . It's urgent . I don't want my camera lens consist of any scratches . Thanks

    Do you mean like a clear stick on screen protector? Don't think anyone uses them because they degrade the quality of the photographs taken through them. What you could do is to get a silicon case which should provide some protection to the lens by creating a recess for it.
