Typical camera glass damage on the iPhone 8 Plus
- The 12 MP iPhone 8 Plus main camera shows scratches on the protective glass – photos turn blurry or show light reflections
- Cracks in the camera glass from a fall onto the back – the lens underneath is usually still intact
- A broken-off piece of camera glass disrupts autofocus – the subject is recognised but stays out of focus
- One of the 2 camera lens glasses is cracked while the others are intact – we only replace the affected one
- The flash is scattered by a hairline crack in the glass – night photos get overexposed streaks
- Splinters from the camera glass sit in the module bay and can damage the autofocus motor – the longer you wait, the more expensive it gets
- After a fall: water and dust reach the OIS motor through the crack – IP67 protection no longer guaranteed
How does the iPhone 8 Plus camera glass replacement work?
- Diagnosis: lens or glass damaged?
On the iPhone 8 Plus we check whether only the protective glass is actually damaged or the 12 MP lens module behind it. For pure glass damage, 19,90 € per glass is enough – for lens damage it becomes a camera repair (more involved).
- Extract splinters
The old camera glass and loose splinters are removed from the module bay with a fine vacuum – important so no particles later reach the image sensor.
- Open the glass frame
On the iPhone 8 Plus the camera glass is fixed to the back frame with a thin adhesive strip. We loosen it with isopropanol, no heat needed.
- Insert precise-fit replacement glass
The custom-cut Gorilla Glass element is placed, the adhesive layer freshly applied, contact pressure controlled – the transition to the housing frame must be flush.
- Function test camera + flash + OIS
We test all 2 lenses, check autofocus, flash scatter, OIS stabilisation and macro focus. Only after a full test do you get your iPhone 8 Plus back.
Replacing iPhone 8 Plus camera glass – process, price, glass vs. module in Vienna
The camera glass on your iPhone 8 Plus protects the 12 MP main camera and 2 lenses in total from dust, water and scratches. In a fall onto the back, the Gorilla Glass usually breaks before the lenses underneath are damaged – that is the lucky case. It gets unpleasant when splinters reach the autofocus motor or dirt blocks the sensor.
Reparo replaces the camera glass on the iPhone 8 Plus in Vienna for 19,90 € per glass. That is kept deliberately low – replacing early is always cheaper than late. If several glasses are cracked at once, you get a package price on request. Anyone with genuine module damage (image sensor, OIS, flex cable): iPhone 8 Plus camera repair checks the module.
DIY – yes or no on the iPhone 8 Plus?
Short answer: no. The iPhone 8 Plus has a firmly glued camera glass module that can send splinters into the sensor area if opened improperly. A 19,90 € repair then turns into a 49-169 € camera module replacement. We work under clean conditions with vacuum extraction and Apple-compatible adhesive.

What is the difference between camera glass and camera repair on the iPhone 8 Plus?
The camera glass is the Gorilla protective pane over the lens – cheap to replace (19,90 € per glass). Replacing the camera itself (sensor + 12 MP module) costs more on the iPhone 8 Plus (about 49-169 €). In 90 % of cases only the glass is cracked after a fall – the module behind it is usually intact.
Do I have to replace all 2 camera glasses on the iPhone 8 Plus?
No. On the iPhone 8 Plus each of the 2 lenses has its own Gorilla Glass. We only replace the cracked glasses individually – the intact ones stay. 19,90 € per glass, with a package discount on several at once – just ask directly.
Does the IP67 water protection on the iPhone 8 Plus stay intact after the camera glass replacement?
Yes. On the iPhone 8 Plus the camera glass module has its own sealing ring around the housing. We renew the adhesive during installation – IP67 protection stays fully intact. Splash water and brief submersion still possible. Avoid active swimming after any work.
Does the image quality on the iPhone 8 Plus get worse after the camera glass replacement?
No. Our replacement Gorilla Glass has the same optical properties (refractive index, anti-reflective coating) as the original. After installation we check with calibration software whether colour reproduction and autofocus stay identical.
How long does the iPhone 8 Plus camera glass replacement take?
The iPhone 8 Plus camera glass replacement usually takes 30–45 minutes of pure work at Reparo. With pickup service in Vienna you often get the device back the same day. With several cracked glasses at once it can take 60 minutes.
Can I drop my iPhone 8 Plus off directly at Reparo?
Reparo has no customer access on site. You book an appointment online – our courier picks up the iPhone 8 Plus in all 23 Viennese districts. From the provinces, insured shipping, return included in the price.
How does the pickup service in Vienna work for the iPhone 8 Plus camera glass replacement?
Book online, choose a time slot between 9 and 18, the courier drives to your Vienna address (1st district to 23rd Liesing). Replacement 30–45 min at the studio, often returned the same day. Courier included in the 19,90 € price (per glass).
Is shipping from the provinces safe for an iPhone 8 Plus?
Yes. After booking online you receive shipping instructions with padding notes for the iPhone 8 Plus. Insured both ways – regularly customers from Graz, Linz, St. Pölten, Klagenfurt, Innsbruck, Bregenz.
Are photos or settings lost during the iPhone 8 Plus camera glass replacement?
No. During the camera glass replacement the smartphone is not even powered on – flash storage, gallery, iCloud account and camera settings stay fully intact. We still generally recommend an iCloud backup.
How long does the warranty on the new iPhone 8 Plus camera glass last?
Six months on the glass and the installation work. Should the new adhesive ring fail or the glass come loose – free re-replacement. Not covered are new drop damages after the repair.
My iPhone 8 Plus is already 9 years old – is a camera glass repair still worth it?
Yes. For 19,90 € per glass you get clear photos again – vs. buying a used device (far more expensive). With new camera glass the iPhone 8 Plus stays fully usable and all Apple features (HDR, Portrait, Night Mode) work again like on day one.
My iPhone 8 Plus camera glass is only slightly cracked – should I wait?
No. Small cracks grow larger through thermal stress (sun, bag). Dirt and moisture also reach the lens system, which permanently worsens image quality. Replacing early 19,90 € – later with lens damage 3× more expensive.
Can I repair the iPhone 8 Plus camera glass myself?
Technically yes, but not recommended in practice. The problem: splinters in the module bay damage the OIS motor of the 12 MP sensor – a 19,90 € issue quickly becomes a 69-169 € camera module problem. Reparo works under clean-room conditions for installation.
