How does the iPhone XS camera repair work?
- Camera diagnosis
On the iPhone XS we test all 2 lenses separately: main, ultrawide. Autofocus, OIS, flash, video camera. Determining whether the module or only the glass is affected.
- Open the housing from the back glass
The camera module sits at the back on the iPhone XS. We open with a special suction cup and pentalobe screws, carefully releasing the IP68 adhesive edge.
- Remove the defective camera module
The 12 MP main module is connected to the mainboard via a flex cable. We loosen the screws and flex connectors without bending the 2-lens array.
- Install the certified replacement module
Original-Apple-compatible camera module with a 12 MP main lens, OIS motor and image sensor. Flex plugged in, screws torque-controlled, calibration to the mainboard chip.
- Renew the IP68 seal
Old adhesive ring completely removed, new Apple adhesive frame. 30 min curing time under pressure for IP68 protection.
- Photo test + colour calibration
Test shots under various lighting conditions, colour space check, autofocus calibration. Only after a full test do you get your iPhone XS back.
Replacing the iPhone XS camera – process, price, module or only glass
The iPhone XS has a 2-lens camera system with a 12 MP main camera. The camera modules are highly complex components with an image sensor, OIS motor (mechanical stabilization), colour filter and infrared laser focus. A drop onto the back often only breaks the protective glass over the lens – the module underneath usually stays intact.
Reparo replaces the complete camera module on the iPhone XS in Vienna when needed for 69 € fixed price. Included: a certified Apple-compatible module with identical 12 MP sensor resolution, flex cable, new IP68 seal, 6 months warranty. If only the protective glass is cracked: iPhone XS camera glass repair for 19.90 € per glass.
Module vs. glass – what is defective on the iPhone XS?
In 90 % of drop damage only the Gorilla protective glass is cracked, not the module. We clarify this during the diagnosis (25 €, waived on repair) via visual check + photo test. A module replacement at 69 € only pays off with a genuine sensor or lens defect. All iPhone XS options: iPhone XS overview.
