Dust inside the iPhone 11 Pro Max rear camera lens

I have dust in my 11Pro as well. Since I am on my third 11Pro due to technical problems I can confrim that all of them had dust in their lenses. @Franco90: You say you are a photographer, then you should check your lenses and I am sure you will find dust in them. Almost all lenses have some sort of dust in them - and due to the law of physics this doesn't matter. The sesnsor inside the camera is not able to focus on an object this close. It will blur out of focus. You can try this yourself: Go to a wire fence with a camera, get as close as possible and make a picture: You will see that the wire is ot in frame. Another point: If dust on a lense would matter (unless it is a ton of dust) you would have to clean them throroughly before every shot. There is a lot more dust on your lense than in your lense. I know it is annoying but dust in iPhone lenses is just a cosmetic problem.

I confirm that all units have dust under the objective, I have already replaced 4 phones for this absurd problem. Whoever tells you (No) has not looked at you with the help of a powerful torch.

This does not give me cause for joy.

Well, I seem to have a lot dust in the top lens of my iPhone 11 ... you actually can see it. I travel through Vietnam since 2 Month and have it on my motorbike via rear mirror handset holder. This is only showing since a few days. I drove about 4500 km in these 8 Weeks ...

Me neither. I tell you what, I upgraded from iphone 6S+ to the iPhone 11 pro max partly because of the ip68 dust and water resistance. If I start getting dust under my camera I'll ditch apple iPhone for Android again. I have switched back and forth before and what causes it is usually annoyance with tech or hardware from one side or the other.

Dust under my camera will definitely be enough to cause me to leave Apple. What has happened to their quality control?

Even with a magnifying glass, I can see absolutely NO dust in any of the lenses in my 11 Pro Max or our 11. None. Zip. Nadda. But if there were a tiny speck there, and it didn't in any way negatively impact photos, I can assure everyone, I would lose NO sleep over it.

No wonder the lenses show dust specs. Just watched a couple of tear down videos by ifxit and jerryrigyouknowwho. They way the camera unit is placed within the phone allows dust that gathered during the assembly process to move almost freely. The camera unit and the lense covers are not sealed together. The lens covers appear to be a part of the glass back. And as far as I know the production lines are not dust free zones. Maybe this explains enricobrun's obersvation of "hundreds of iphones" with dust in it. If your phone is dust free like rbrylawski's you're either very lucky or it just does not show at the Moment.

It bothered me enough just knowing it was there and not knowing how it got there. I wanted to make sure that the phone was still water resistant so I brought it to Apple and they said it’s just a manufacturer defect so they replaced it for me. In and out in 30 minutes

Hi, I have also replaced 3-4 phones because of the dust inside the camera, and I have just received the newest replacement today. And just within hours, I see another piece of dust/lint again. Did you get another replacement, or you just accept the “fate” that every phone has dust inside the lenses?

Personally I replaced my phone because I could see without the help of a flash light a speck of dust inside the camera lens. And it just bugged me. I’m sure my replacement phone has one as well but nothing I can see without hauling out a phone so I just accepted it

Hi, i have a tiny dust as well.

I have a small particle of dust in my iPhone 11 Pro Max ultra wide camera lens as well. Is there something that can be done?

I have dust too. Iphone 11.

The camera unit is sealed before it is installed.

Use your warranty.

I just checked mine under a very bright flashlight and I confirm there is NO dust under the glass covering any of the cameras in my 11 Pro Max.
