How to fix iPhone 5 blurry camera with no warranty?

The rear camera is blurry and won't focus. I took it to the apple store and they said there was nothing they can do except pay to replace it. I do not want to pay to replace it. It is over warranty but I've only had it for about a year and a half. This is really really annoying especially because I use the rear camera on a daily basis. I see that there are many forums about this and apple has so far done nothing to fix this. I tried the slapping method and it didn't work. I tried to restore it and no luck. Please help :(

Apple have told you the answer needs a replacement and that is $269 in US

  • Dust inside iphone 5 camera with no warranty

    What am I supposed to do?
    Never take any photo with my phone?!!
    Or spend hundreds of dollars to fix the camera? (I probably could buy a new phone with that much money!!)
    I found the dust after my warranty expired, and I was told apple won't help me to fix it.
    I never had any problem with my iphone4, which is a great product by Jobs. The iphone5 is very disappointing. You have to use a case to protect it from scratches. Many people found dust inside their cameras, luckily some found that problem during their warranty. I couldn't believe apple would deliver a product with so many problems to us, at least Jobs wouldn't.

    During that one year period, I will assume the dust accumulated while being in your pocket.
    I had a iphone since the 3GS and now a 5S and had a few dust in my camera lenses, but nothing that would impede me from taking good quality pictures.

    does anyone know how to delete songs that came with the iPhone 6 in the music?? i tried deleting them from iTunes but i couldn't.

    I know you already solved this but for future reference, there is also another setting to only keep songs downloaded to your device visible in music.
    Go to Settings --> Music --> Show All Music and make sure it is turned off

  • How to fix iphone 5s stack recovery mode..Please help me

    How to fix iphone 5s stack recovery mode..i have tried So many ways and aloso tryed with  3rd party software but nothing happens...i trying with iTunes but error 14  message appare..i am from bd that's why in my country doesn't have any apple service center

    Error 14 is typically a hardware failure, but can be caused by security software...anti-virus, firewalls, etc. Given what you've posted, I suspect a hardware failure, & if that's the case, you won't be able to restore the phone. You'll need to find a service center to confirm.

    How to Fix iPhone 4S geting hot 7 has no battrey life

    Shut down whatever app is constantly running in the background.
    Do basic troubleshooting of reset, restart, restore.
    IF restored as new and the overheating and short battery life continue with ONLY the default apps installed, take it back to Apple as a hardware issue exists.

  • TS1412 any ideas about how to fix an iPod Nano with a white screen??

    any ideas about how to fix an iPod Nano with a white screen??

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    How to fix iPhone 5's crapy battery drain problem

    It's not that bad bro. Just turn LTE off when not needed. Turn notifications, push, spotlight search, wifi, etc off if you don't feel the need of them. The big drain is from LTE so I guess if you turn it off the battery wont drain that fast.
