iPhone 15 Pro Rear Cameras Replacement

Use this guide to replace the rear cameras in your iPhone 15 Pro.

If your photos are coming out distorted or fuzzy, or your cameras aren't focusing or taking photos at all, it may be time to replace them.

You'll need replacement screen adhesive to complete this repair.

Note: Due to Apple's parts pairing restrictions, on iOS 17.6 and earlier, you may receive warnings regarding replacement rear cameras, but they'll still function normally. On iOS 18 and newer, you can pair the replacement camera module using Apple's Repair Assistant.
