Iphone 6 camera lens has become opaque inside

I woke up this morning and my iphone 6 camera is discoloured on inside-opaque and white. When I try to take picture it doesn't show what im pointing the camera at, only a white blurry blobby image. It worked fine yesterday, and I haven't gotten the phone wet or placed it in anything wet in the last few days either. Over a week ago I accidentally put phone down on a table that had moisture on it from the condensation from someones cold glass. But camera has worked perfectly and has still had a clear image up until this morning..and if it was that, you'd think I'd have seen some evidence of moisture in the last week and a half.
>Does anyone know what may have caused this?
>Has anyone else had this problem?
>Can I get the camera fixed, or am I better off going to an apple and trying to get a replacement?
Hope someone can help!!

Good news! Took my phone into the apple store, none of the sensors showed any liquid damage (not even the one next to the camera area), so they gave me a new iphone 6!! They did say that it definitely looks like some sort of liquid though, and that I'm lucky as it is a new type of phone so new problems do pop up, but also in future apparently they wont be allowed to open the phones up-if it looks like liquid damage, then it'll get treated that way and the person will have to pay to fix it! So thankfully I got in before that starts. They couldn't tell me how only the lens got effected as the camera is completely sealed...so I'm not sure how to avoid it happening in the future :/ If they didn't replace the phone, I wouldn't have paid $399 for apple to fix it-my insurance with telstra means i'd pay $70 and telstra would send it away to get fixed.

  • Large dust particle inside my iPhone 5 camera lens

    I have a couple of large dust particles inside my iPhone 5 camera lens. How do I get rid of them?

    If it's actually inside the lens, you can't.  Bring your phone while it''s still under warranty to Apple for evaluation.

  • Dust in iphone 5 camera lens

    is there any way to clean dust out of the iphone 5 camera lens?

    Yes, but doing so, will void Warranty. This will be covered by Warranty. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution.

  • Why am I seeing dust inside my iPhone 5S camera lens?

    I don't have a case for my iPhone 5S and I do carry it in my jeans pocket. I am also not a messy person. So today I noticed something -- there's clearly some dust inside the camera lens (the one in the back.) When I shake the phone it rattles around. How in the world can it get there? And is there anything I can do to get it out?

    Not unheard of, look to your right under "More Like This" for related discussions.-->
    You have a 1 year warranty.  Take it in and let Apple look at it.  Back it up first.

  • Iphone 5s camera lens rattle

    hello my friends
    My problem is when I shake the iPhone's voice coming from inside.
    Even when I kept all the buttons
    I feel this is the sound of the camera lens
    Even when the vibration noise is heard
    Is there a problem for everyone?
    I am an obsessive person

    when i shake mine i hear it as well but my power button is really loose and i think thats what it is not the camera lens

  • Dirt under my iPhone 5 camera lens

    Recently, I found tiny specks of dirt under my back camera lens. Eventhough, it is not a problem to the camera at the moment due to the focus. I think that in the long run it will eventually appear visually visible on my pictures taken with my iPhone 5. Therefore, can anyone tell me how to fix it. Also, It seems that there is an opening somewhere that the dirt got into, so I wonder if apple will replace it cause I think that it's likely to be a defect.

    They will fix it most likely for free. Technically dirt cannot get inside unless it was during the manufacturing process. Take it to the nearest store but call them first to set up an appt.

  • Iphone 6 camera lens cracked

    I have the iPhone 6 with that "awesome" sapphire camera lens, although I dropped it slightly below pocket level, when i was locking my apartment door. It landed on my doormat, which isn't the softest, but not has hard as the concrete. Everything was fine, but very minor scratches to the back, top left corner and one small nick on the top of the lens that sticks out... and of course the lens cracked in half.
    You can't tell in pictures unless there's a strong light shining directly into it.
    Does anyone know if this is covered under my Apple Care+ or how I can fix it?
    Thanks a lot, I really appreciate any responses.

    According to http://gizmodo.com/5846658/new-applecare%252B-for-iphone-dropping-klutzes you just might be covered. Take it to Apple Store and ask them.

  • IPhone 6 Camera Lens

    Just a general comment that with the iPhone 6  and iPhone 6 Plus now having a protruding camera lens
    and has buttons on both sides, how do Apple propose to fix the inbuilt level
    indicator within the compass app now that the phone will not sit flat on the
    surface or on its side? For the sake of <1mm I would rather have a had it
    slightly thicker and a larger battery.

    To my knowledge, Apple doesn't specifically list the camera lens on iPhone 6.  Here's a link to repair costs.  You'll need to contact Apple directly to get an answer:  https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/other/

  • Is iPhone 6 camera lens cover sapphire?

    Based on your iPhone's camera lens being cracked, it appears your iPhone needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

  • My iphone 5 camera has scratches on it and it looks horrible when i snap a photo. Anyone knows how much does it cost to get it fixed?

    I am currently using an iphone 5 and my camera lens has major scratches on it such that when i take pictures, it looks horrible. Anyone knows how much does it cost to get it fixed? :/

    $269 to replace the iPhone.
    -> http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipho ne
    Look under warranty and service pricing then out of warranty service.

  • 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
