Apple is not here to help or comment but you can contact them as below.

If they are going by the messages like "It cannot be verified that this phone contains a genuine camera" then you can tell Sky that those messages can be created by a simple hardware failure. Check for those messages in Settings, general, or Settings, general, About.

You still have a phone that needs to be repaired at considerable cost before it can be swapped or traded0in, but it may help explain to them about your honesty.

They may also look at the state of tjhe pentalobe screws next to the lightning port to detect tampering.
