How difficult is it to get a new camera installed in a iPhone 7?

I’m wondering if it is even possible to have the main camera replaced by either the Apple company or a private repair center? I still owe about $450 and the trade in value is 0 so I’m pretty sure I can’t get a new iPhone for about a year and I hate not being able to take pictures with my iPhone.

My phone has zero damage and the problem began right after a software update.

since the iPhone is out of warranty do I have any rights to get it fixed since I have found my problem is very common and I believe was caused by the update and not something that I caused.

please help,

I don't know if Apple replaces just the camera. This is the official Apple Support document on iPhone Repairs, and it does not refer to replacing just the camera --> iPhone Repair - Official Apple Support

This is why we're suggesting you schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar. We are ALL users on this forum and no one here works for Apple.

The best advice is to schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar show them your phone and they'll explain your options.

If you can prove that it is a known factory defect by showing that a significant number of that model has the same issue (you would probably have to show at least 10%) then you might get a recall.
