iPhone 11 camera lens cracked

Has anyone had their camera lens cracked? I’m not talking about the glass but the actual lens. When I tried to take a picture the other day it looked like the glass on the top camera was broken but upon close inspection the outside glass looks completely fine and I can’t find the issue. How much does apple charge to get that fixed?

Hello J_brill,


That's a great question! Since you're not seeing any external cracks, you'll want to walk through the troubleshooting steps listed below to resolve any software or external related factors that may be causing this issue. You can also find these steps in the following article.


  1. "Remove any case, accessory, or film that might block the camera or that places a magnet near the camera.
  2. Test the camera by trying to take a photo.
  3. If the photo is blurry, clean the front or back camera lenses with a microfiber cloth. If you see dirt or debris inside the lens or if the camera lens appears to be misaligned or blocked, contact Apple Support for help with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
  4. Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
  5. Test the camera again by taking a photo. If your device has a front and rear camera, check if one or both isn't working. To switch cameras, tap the rotate button."
