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 Particles inside the Screen of my iPhone!! Help?

    Hello my name is John and well I have one problem. I am starting to get DUST PARTICLES inside the screen of my iPhone!! At first I wasn't bothered much but then the amount increased, and well now, when in sunlight, it is starting to get annoying! Any suggestions on how to free my iPhone of dust particles? Anyone????

    I have gone to BOTH Apple and AT&T and they have said that they cannot do anything about it, AT&T said that they didn't know, and said to take it to Apple, and Apple said, "you can try compressed air to see if you can get it out".

  • IPhone Camera Lens

    I have an iPhone 5 and I use it as a multi purpose device not only to make calls and text but I use it as a camera.  Like most iPhone users, I have found myself using my iPhone to take pictures and video.  Since I am using the phone to take pictures up close and far away, what is the best camera lens on the market for the iPhone?  Obviously, I would need a camera lens that is either clip on or snap on but is easy to put on and off the phone. I am not looking for tripod use or remote control, nothing like that.  I just want to take pictures or video if I am in an auditorium or theater and I want to zoom in to capture the best quality pictures or video.
    Any suggestions on a really good camera lens?

  • The camera lens cover is covered with dust

    Problem is that my picture quality is low because of the dust particle inside the lense cover.. .. Can anyone help me in removing this from an authorized center in Dubai..??

    Contact Samsung for warranty work.  Weither it is free or not or what the deductible will be can only be answered by them.  As far as I know verizion does not repair phones. Repairing it yourself is a risky move and that would cancel and warranty you have left.  Also you have no idea if there is any damage behind the lens or if the lens and camera have to be calibrated.  Best leave this type of work to the experts.

  • 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.

  • Is there dust inside camera lens of iPhone 5?

    I bought my new iPhone 5 on 28th of September from a local Telco.
    Today I noticed inside the camera lens there is dust.
    I'm very disappointed

    I'm seeing the same thing on my iPhone 5. I just noticed it today so I don't know how long it's been there (got mine on launch day). Here are some photots I took with my iPad (only other camera I had). I have not noticed anything on any of the photos I've taken with the iPhone but, then again, I haven't done any extensive testing either.
    Not sure what I'll do about it (closest Apple Store is 2 hours away and, again, haven't noticed anything on the photos I've taken).

  • 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.

  • Fix for dust inside camera lens

    My camera lens continues to accrue dust on the inside of the phone. This is an obvious design flaw of the phone as this is likely coming in through the back microphone hole.
    I have read multiple posts on this issue and seen instructions on how to clean it off. What I am hoping is that there is a fix to seal the lens area so once it is cleaned, no further dust can enter. I would also like to keep the microphone active so noise cancellation continues to work as intended.

  • 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.

  • My iPhone 5 died/broken lock button/dust in camera lens

    My iPhone died last night.  Tried plugging it in to turn it on, doesn't work.  My lock button also doesn't work, so I can't try resetting it.  I also have so much dust in my camera lens, that it won't focus and I can't take clear picutres.  I brought it to the Apple store with all these problems, and they're trying to charge me $269 for all this damage that's the cause a faulty product, not myself.  They can't replace the camera, they have to replace the entire phone.  What do I do?

    It's a common problem with the 4S, but not with the 5. Not that that's relevant. Hardware wears out. "Normal wear and tear" is not a defect. The warranty is 1 year, and you had an option to extend it to 2 years, which you apparently did not take. The lock button on my 4S stopped working 22 months after I bought it. I also bought AppleCare+, so I took it to an Apple store and they replaced the phone.
    There are independent service shops that can replace the switch. That's one option. The other is to take it to an Apple store and if it is not long out of warranty and you are not belligerent they may replace the phone for you anyway.

  • Inside of camera lens dirty

    Does the apple story clean the inside of the sapphire lens on the iphone 5 rear camera? Also, it seems like theres a loose piece on my front camera, almost like a cresent moon shape that is close to covering that camera. Laslty, you can hear a faint noise when shaking the phone, like something's broken or loose on the inside (both my parent's phones dont make the same noise...
    Any ideas??

    The dust is not in any case, it's on the inside of the sapphire lens of the phone itself... Will the apple store fix this?

  • 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.
