if still on warranty, go to apple. if not, try this:


had the same problem, could cure it myself. hold your phone vertically, ie loudness keys pointing to the floor. knock firmly and often with a plastic pen on the back of your phone close to the lens. check whether the dust moves. if not, vary the angle. with the correct angle and some patience, you should be able to move your dust particle to outside the visible picture. be careful not to scratch and not to break anything. patience is key.
