How does the iPhone 8 Plus camera repair work?
- Camera diagnosis
On the iPhone 8 Plus we test all 2 lenses separately: main, ultrawide. Autofocus, OIS, flash, video camera. We determine whether the module or just the glass is affected.
- Opening the housing from the back glass
On the iPhone 8 Plus the camera module sits at the rear. We open it with a special suction cup and pentalobe screws, carefully releasing the IP67 adhesive edge.
- Removing the defective camera module
The 12 MP main module is connected to the mainboard by a flex cable. We loosen the screws and flex connector without bending the dual-lens array.
- Fitting the certified replacement module
Original Apple-compatible camera module with a 12 MP main lens, OIS motor and image sensor. Flex reconnected, screws torque-controlled, calibration to the mainboard chip.
- Renewing the IP67 seal
Old adhesive ring completely removed, new Apple adhesive frame applied. 30 min curing time under pressure for IP67 protection.
- Photo test + colour calibration
Test shots under various lighting conditions, colour-space check, autofocus calibration. You only get your iPhone 8 Plus back after a full test.
Replacing the iPhone 8 Plus camera – process, price, module or just glass
The iPhone 8 Plus has a dual-lens camera system with a 12 MP main camera. The camera modules are highly complex components with an image sensor, OIS motor (mechanical stabilisation), colour filter and infrared laser focus. A drop onto the back often only breaks the protective glass over the lens – the module beneath usually stays intact.
When needed, Reparo replaces the complete camera module on the iPhone 8 Plus in Vienna for 59 € fixed price. Included: a certified Apple-compatible module with identical 12 MP sensor resolution, flex cable, new IP67 seal, 6 months warranty. If only the protective glass is cracked: iPhone 8 Plus camera glass repair for 19.90 € per glass.
Module vs. glass – what is defective on the iPhone 8 Plus?
In 90 % of drop damage cases only the Gorilla protective glass is cracked, not the module. We clarify this during the diagnostic check (25 EUR, waived on repair) with a visual inspection + photo test. A module replacement of 59 € is only worthwhile in case of a genuine sensor or lens defect. All iPhone 8 Plus options: iPhone 8 Plus overview.
