Ring Around IPhone 6 Front Facing Camera

Hey the crescent gray object near the camera is actually a ring of foam that surrounds the camera lens just outside of view inside the phone. If the camera shifts, the ring may show part of itself looking like a crescent. It shouldn't affect anything unless it's over the camera lens. It's a simple fix for an Apple Store to do.

I had the same issue with my Space Grey Iphone 6. Apple Store replaced the front panel screen twice as i has apple care +. After 8 months the issue has reappeard for the Third time, my apple care will end in Two months. will have to visit them again. So annoying.

I had this same problem with my space grey iPhone 6 and they replaced it right away. Just make an appointment at the genius bar and they'll take care of it for you.

Was it a ring or crescent shape? Mine has a crescent shape on the right of the front facing camera and I think that it has "shifted" to the left.

Does this sound like the same problem that you are having.

I am in the process of taking Apple classes and becoming a certified servicer.

Yesterday I was in an Apple Store in Rome to buy an iPhone 6 128G, they hadn't the phone available but looking at the various iPhone exposed I noticed an hardware problem: the crescent shape on a side of the front facing camera like it has "shifted".

I told it to the genius there but they said that they didn't notice it. The problem interested only iPhone 6 grey, not the iPhone 6 plus nor the other colors.

I just wrote a feedback to Apple in a way to have the problem recognized so that a change of the phone would be easier. Do the same!

I have the same issue, although, I don't think Apple will replace my phone because the defect is not very noticeable.

I am also having the same crescent shape in my iphone 6 gold front facing camera, hope Apple should replace it for all the devices having same problem.

Apple has apparently stated that even though it may not be affecting the performance, they are still doing unit replacements. If the Apple rep you speak to balks at replacing it, explain that the reason you want the replacement is to avoid it becoming worse in the future, and if it becomes worse only after your warranty has expired but you reported the problem prior to the warranty expiring, then that makes a lot more work for everyone involved.

If they still balk, ask for a manager or Senior Advisor.

In December 2014 i had the sam problem with the front camera in iphone 6 4,7 space gray. They gave me new phone. But today, I saw that again I have the same problem in new model that they gave me during replacement. Again apple exchange??? And over and over??? What abou when warrany ends?...

Do whatever you want to do. I'm not psychic. Your replacement device has at least a 90 day guarantee. Within the first 60 days of the ORIGINAL device date of purchase, you can get AppleCare+, which gives you two years of coverage.

Had the same problem and yes they ask me to drop my device there and change it right away!
