How does the iPhone 8 camera repair work?
- Camera diagnosis
On the iPhone 8 we test all 1 lenses separately: main, ultrawide. Autofocus, OIS, flash, video camera. We determine whether the module or only the glass is affected.
- Opening the housing from the back glass
On the iPhone 8 the camera module sits at the rear. We open it with a special suction cup and pentalobe screws and gently release the IP67 adhesive seal.
- Removing the defective camera module
The 12 MP main module is connected to the mainboard via a flex cable. We loosen the screws and flex connector without bending the 1-lens array.
- Fitting the certified replacement module
Apple-original-compatible camera module with 12 MP main lens, OIS motor and image sensor. Flex plugged in, screws torque-controlled, calibration to the mainboard chip.
- Renewing the IP67 seal
Old adhesive ring fully removed, new Apple adhesive frame. 30 min curing time under pressure for IP67 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 8 back.
Replacing the iPhone 8 camera – process, price, module or just glass
The iPhone 8 has a 1-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 above the lens – the module underneath usually stays intact.
When needed, Reparo replaces the entire camera module on the iPhone 8 in Vienna for 49 € fixed price. Included: certified Apple-compatible module with identical 12 MP sensor resolution, flex cable, new IP67 seal, 6-month warranty. If only the protective glass is cracked: iPhone 8 camera glass repair for 19.90 € per glass.
Module vs. glass – what is defective on the iPhone 8?
In 90 % of drop damage only the Gorilla protective glass is cracked, not the module. We clarify this in the diagnosis (25 EUR, waived on repair) via a visual check + photo test. A module replacement for 49 € is only worthwhile in case of a genuine sensor or lens defect. All iPhone 8 options: iPhone 8 overview.
