How does the iPhone XS Max camera repair work?
- Camera diagnosis
On the iPhone XS Max we test all 2 lenses separately: main, ultrawide. Autofocus, OIS, flash, video camera. We determine whether the module or only the glass is affected.
- Open the housing from the back glass
On the iPhone XS Max the camera module sits at the rear. We open it with a special suction cup and Pentalobe screws and gently release the IP68 adhesive seal.
- Remove the defective camera module
The 12 MP main module is connected to the mainboard by 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 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 applied. 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 Max back.
Replacing the iPhone XS Max camera – process, price, module or just glass
The iPhone XS Max has a 2-lens camera system with a 12 MP main camera. The camera modules are highly complex components with image sensor, OIS motor (mechanical stabilization), colour filter and infrared laser focus. A drop on the rear often only breaks the protective glass over the lens – the module beneath usually stays intact.
If needed, Reparo replaces the complete camera module on the iPhone XS Max in Vienna for 79 € fixed price. Included: 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 Max camera glass repair for 19.90 € per glass.
Module vs. glass – what is defective on the iPhone XS Max?
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) with a visual check + photo test. A module replacement at 79 € is only worthwhile in case of an actual sensor or lens defect. All iPhone XS Max options: iPhone XS Max overview.
