- This is a quick DIY video showing how I replaced the upper Camera lens glass on a iPhone 11. This will compromise your water resistance. The kit cost me about 13$ on amazon. The Isopropyl alcohol (91% alcohol) and q tips did not come with the kit. They sell similar kits for the iPhone 11 pro and other phones. Please subscribe, comment, like the video. Thanks for watching
I have ordered these from a few different sellers. here is a link to the most recent one I purchased
Afeax OEM Original Back Rear... www.amazon.com...
I added a link to the kit I ordered off Amazon for this repair. Hope it helps
So last night I broke my top camera at work, and I was freaking out and I saw that you could buy a kit so I bought one from amazon and it came in today! So not even 30 minutes ago I found this video and I fixed my phone! Thank you so much for the help, you just saved me so much money and I have no words. I'm really happy that I found this video and I fixed my phone instantly. You are truly a lightsaver thank you so much!
Thank you for such a helpful video. It was my first time to replace the lens, and I was abled to do it by watching your thorough walkthrough video. Bless you.
Thank you
Wow that was easy..! I think I can do it beats paying close to 80 for it at the mall.. I don’t ever literally submerge my phone in water just water droplets or a quick wipe down to disinfect. So I should be fine. Thanks! I feel more confident.
I have used my phone in heavy rain without issues. And I mean having it out and using it for an hour or so for work
Worked well, thanks. Just be conscious what kind of glass replacement you have. I bought some Chinese for 2 dollars and it is for sure not sapphire glass, but doesn’t screw the quality
I brought a cheap one from Ali express but now camera is blurry but went in no problem.
Used your tutorial. Thank you!
THANK YOU this was tremendously helpful
Thank you so much i used your tutorial and it really helps thank you so much
Will it take away the vibrating noise Ig my camera stayed locked in live mode and with the lens broken it goes crazy
Hello, that kit which is linked in the description is not available anymore. Does anyone have a suggestion on a different kit to be used?
watching this while doing it. i feel like im playing Operation hahah this video is very helpful thank you
Thanks. It's fairly easy. Requires a somewhat steady hand
I did this exactly the same way and everything was perfect. I turned the phone on and checked and the image was fine. Until the absolut very end and now the image is 100% blurry and messed up! Is there any suggestions or help out there?
Maybe you have a little piece of glass inside of the camera and because of that the OIS isn’t working right which could cause a blurry image.
Thank You SO MUCH
I brought a replacement kit of Ali express after installing it it maxed my camera is very blurry and not fun to use. What. Did I do wrong it came with two lens did I install wrong one or was it because I didn’t buy from Amazon. If it took it to my repair place they would keep it for two days and charge me 300
Gonna do the same with a triple camera iphone, one its eye's cracked. Thanks
Bro I cracked my lens too on the 11 pro and the whole camera stopped working. Did the same thing happen to yours?
Hey i’m curious to know if you are replacing the original lens that was damaged? Or is it an aftermarket piece….
I purchased that phone new from apple so it was original. I can't remember if the video was of the original replacement or if it was the second time I broke it. Either way it is the same process
Hey, wich glass do u use for the upper camera.. the ne with the thick or small black ring? cause I got a big ring and don't know if it fits with the upper glass
On the iPhone 11 the wider ring is for the top lens
@@daveaffolter9697 thank youu
Random question but is there a “back” or “front” to the lens? Or can it be fitted either way around? I have just fitted mine and it doesn’t look as clear as it did with the old lens. The original lens is black under light and the new one is blue
Blue side should look inside the lens
You helped me a lot
Thanks for watching. Glad it helped
Great video man!
Thank you
Late comment but can you replace not the lenses but the square price of glass around it separately from the actual glass back panel
No, you will have to change the whole back of the phone. The square is toggeter with the rest of the back glass of the phone
Awesome video man! By any chance you got a link on the kit you bought from amazon.
The seller was vimour
Heat can damage camera stabilization feature ....
how to prevent gettin glass shard “dusts” stuck inside the camera, vacuum or blowing compressed air?
Can hold the phone upside down while taking the glass out. I hold it upside down and tap on the phone hoping that if anything fell in it falls back out. I have done this repair several times and have never gotten a piece stuck. I would be weary of using compressed air as it may get anything loose in there stuck somehow
@@daveaffolter9697 thanks, how do you feel about the color change, is it affecting the picture quality? do you notice it while switching from 0.5 to 1.0?
I haven't noticed a change in picture quality
how much for the camere glass,, mine just take off easily and i just lost it.
I think it was about 12-15 $
Does the inside lens get messed up if you use the hair dryer ? My camera lens glass is cracked and outer part of the glass is still on so I’m worried that if I apply heat it will mess with the inside lens 😩😩 any advice?
It shouldn't mess up the camera if only warmed up for that short period of time. They probably get hotter than that when sitting in the sun. I have replaced these several times using a hair dryer to heat up the glue without problem.
Thanks!!
how long did you put the hair dryer to melt the glue I have a small piece and it still doesn't want to melt.
I used it until it felt hot
How tightly did the lens fit? I ordered the repair kit and the lenses look too small for the iPhone 11
It's possible that they sent you the wrong kit. The lens should fit perfectly without a gap at the edge
Hi Dave, can you please send a link where you purchased those tools with the lens for iPhone 11.. I have the same problem with my iPhone 11 too, but mine is the bottom part of the lens. 😓 Thanks.
I added a link in the description for the last one I purchased.
@@daveaffolter9697 thank you.. 👍🏻🙂
hi sir , im from malaysia . can i have the link where should i buy the lens ? mine is iphone 11 pro .
I got them on Amazon. The brand is Vimour
hey harith, i'm from malaysia as well, can you i chip in as well as i might need to buy a lens as well
@@JinXian so you want to join me buying the lens ? which state are you ? im at selangor
hey bro, are you still buying this?
Too many DAMNED ads !!! Geesh
It’s easier to remove the camera for you won’t risk damaging the camera that’s what I do in my shop
did you just cover the old lens ? and what about the cover that seals all the lenses , it is now not waterproof
This was just a replacement of the little round piece of glass over the camera. I am not sure if they call that a lens or not. You do compromise the water resistance when you do this
once u crack ur iphone it loses its waterproof feature. so it doesnt matter
It cost me 8.2 euros to change it
Where did you bought those tools to replace the lens?
The tools came with the lens. Was purchased on Amazon
You should get the glass camera protector!
Saved my camera multiple times🤣👌
@@brandyashley8109 yeah, I've looked at it. Just haven't ordered it yet. Probably easier than replacing this glass every time I brake it lol
Can’t you install a new sealer after you are done?
I am not sure on that. I haven't had any water issues with mine. I use it in the rain often. I don't however drop it in pools or puddles
Is it 100% waterproof?
I would say no, since that original seal is broken. Plus the phone isn't 100% waterproof to begin with. I believe it has a ip68 rating. Something like 1.5 meters of water up to 30 minutes.
@@daveaffolter9697 So if water were to touch the new replacement it wouldent effect the camera quality.
@@saradessaleng7273 I have used mine in the pouring rain several times without issue. Might not hold up to being submerged in water though
@@daveaffolter9697 Is the replacement glass?
@@saradessaleng7273 yes the replacement is glass. The listing states that it is an OEM replacement, however I don't know if that is correct. It may just be tempered glass and not the same Sapphire glass that apple uses
has it held up?
It has never fallen out or anything. I have had to replace them a couple times because I keep breaking them. I where the phone on a lanyard around my neck for convenience when documenting roofs. They way it hangs it often swings into a tool in my tool belt
Is that original sapphire glass
According to the Amazon listing it is, but I can't verify if it actually is or not. If it helps it brakes just as easy as the factory glass. I have managed to brake these a few times now. But that is because of how I use them
Please send the link from where to buy
Where did you buy the lens ?
Amazon. The brand I used is Vimour
@@daveaffolter9697 any difference in camera quality?
@@swervostoneyb1251 no difference in camera quality. As long as the glass is clean when you install it.
Does anybody know if you trade in ur iphone 11 if your paint is chipping in the camera rings ???
If you have warranty
@@jesus9585wait you can trade it in. normally i have to buy a new phone completely
