can you replace an iphone xr camera lens glass?

I have, i just wanted to have an idea what to prepare myself for :(

There seems to be info online on all iphones apart from the xr! So thought i would ask if anyone knew if it was a quick and not too expensive fix or a complete disaster.

So a complete disaster then, in UK £400. I could cry. Just because of a tiny £5 piece of broken glass. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the camera so looks like i go for a bodge fix from a local company then for £100.

Obviously didn’t mean to break it, it was in a case too, with screen protectors. To be fair to my daughter it did break very easily. I just think it’s a bit of a con that they don’t replace this small piece of glass or if necessary the camera unit but instead make you essentially buy a new phone. I am an apple fam with many of their devices but this has left a bit of a sour taste if I’m honest.

I feel your pain, £386 later! I think our glass shattered really easily on impact, it didn't actually hit anything as it was in a case. Even the technician I saw said we were very unlucky as there wasn't a single mark on the phone at all. The camera worked perfectly, not even a tiny scratch on the phone, just the tiny shattered bit of glass. Sadly they can't replace the glass, they replace the whole phone. Soon you will be able to have this glass replaced by a third party but, after phoning round, Apple haven't yet released the glass as a spare part and of course if you have someone other than Apple do repairs then Apple won't touch the phone again.

I have bought many thousands of pounds of Apple products for my home and my business and this is the first time I actually feel ripped off.

You are screwed - either live with smashed camera screen until Apple release the spare parts for a third party to repair or pay £386 and receive a new phone. My bank balance is now £386 lighter but it is now on our insurance to cover it if it happens again. It does seem that the new camera lenses are crap - XS seems to be having same problem and it's £500+ to replace that one!! After 10 years of having iphones, I don't think I will be buying another brand for myself and both my kids when our contracts end. Seems a shame but for the first time I feel Apple don't seem to be owning up to their cock up on this one.

I did get it 'fixed' but the only way to do so is to take it back to apple and pay nearly £400 for a replacement phone. Sorry, not good news :( I made sure it was insured after that as i'm sure it won't be the only time in the phones life that it falls on the floor and costs that ridiculous amount of money to repair.

But on none of that does it say anythign about the camera lens glass only whole screen replacements. Does it need a whole screen replacement or can you just replace the camera lens glass???
