Use this guide to replace the front camera assembly in your iPhone 15 Pro.
If your front camera's image looks fuzzy or has stopped working entirely along with your Face ID, you might need to replace the front camera assembly.
You'll need replacement screen adhesive to complete this repair.
This assembly includes the front-facing camera and Face ID hardware. These parts come as one unit, and the sensors are uniquely paired to your logic board. Replacing the front camera assembly means you'll lose Face ID functionality and, as of iOS 17.0, may still experience issues using your front camera.
