iPhone 12 Front and Rear Camera Service
Published by TurboFix, Hyderabad · Last updated · 1 sources
Quick answer
The iPhone 12 has 2 separate rear cameras and a 12MP TrueDepth front camera. A cracked lens cover can often be replaced on its own; blur on a clean lens, shaking or a black view usually means that camera module needs replacing.
The iPhone 12 has 2 rear cameras (12MP Wide and 12MP Ultra Wide) and a 12MP TrueDepth front camera. Camera trouble can be anything from a cracked lens cover to a failed stabiliser, and the fix is very different for each.
This page explains how to narrow down a camera fault on the iPhone 12, which problems a camera replacement solves, and where it won't help.

What makes the iPhone 12 different for this service?
- Rear cameras: 12MP Wide and 12MP Ultra Wide.
- Front camera: 12MP TrueDepth, part of the TrueDepth system that also handles Face ID.
- Parts history: on iPhone 12 and later, including the iPhone 12, Settings > General > About lists the front and rear cameras. A non-genuine or unverified camera shows as "Unknown Part".
How does camera service differ across the iPhone 12 series (2020)?
From the iPhone 12 onwards, iOS lists the front and rear cameras in Parts and Service History. A camera that isn't a genuine Apple part fitted through Apple's process shows as "Unknown Part" on the iPhone 12 — something worth knowing if you plan to resell.
Standard models have no telephoto camera; 2x zoom on recent ones is taken from the main sensor, so a bad 2x photo means looking at the main camera.
What should I check on my iPhone 12 before booking?
- The iPhone 12 went on sale in October 2020, so unless it was bought much later or has extended cover, it's likely outside Apple's one-year limited warranty. You can confirm at checkcoverage.apple.com.
What do we test on your iPhone 12 before handing it back?
These checks are chosen for the iPhone 12's hardware, so features this model has are confirmed working after camera service:
- Face ID set-up and unlock
- Lightning charging with a reference cable
- MagSafe alignment and wireless charging
- Ring/Silent switch
- Parts and Service History entries for the cameras
What should I expect after the iPhone 12 service?
We test photos and video on each camera, focus at near and far distances, the flash and Face ID before handing back. If a non-genuine camera was fitted, Settings > General > About will show "Unknown Part" for it.

IPhone 12 camera service: frequently asked questions
My iPhone 12 photos are blurry. Is the camera broken?
Not always. First wipe the lens covers and remove the case — some cases block or reflect into the lenses. If one lens cover is cracked, photos from that camera look hazy or flared, and replacing the cover may be enough. If photos are blurry on a clean, uncracked lens, or focus hunts back and forth, the camera module itself is the likely cause.
Can you replace just the camera lens glass?
Often, yes. The lens cover is a separate piece of glass over each camera on the iPhone 12. If the camera behind it is undamaged, replacing the cover restores clear photos without changing the camera module. We check the camera behind the crack before quoting.
Why does my iPhone 12 camera shake, buzz or click?
The iPhone 12's main camera uses optical image stabilisation, which physically moves parts to counter hand shake. If those parts are damaged, the image can jitter or you may hear buzzing. Apple has warned that strong vibrations — for example from mounting a phone on a high-powered motorcycle — can degrade the stabilisation and autofocus systems. A damaged stabiliser means replacing that camera module.
Will a replaced camera show as "Unknown Part"?
On the iPhone 12, yes, if the replacement isn't a genuine Apple part installed through Apple's process. It shows under Settings > General > About. We tell you the part grade before starting.
Which iPhone 12 camera is faulty if only some photos look wrong?
On the iPhone 12, 0.5x uses the Ultra Wide camera and 1x uses the main camera. Take a photo at each setting: if only one looks wrong, that module (or its lens cover) is the one to look at.
How much does iPhone 12 camera service cost?
It depends on which camera, or just the lens cover, needs work and the part grade. You'll get the price and warranty period after inspection, before any work starts.
