iPhone 11 Pro Max, from 2019, with a 6.5 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display and the A13 Bionic chip. It charges over Lightning and it unlocks with Face ID. There is a stainless steel frame, and it is rated IP68. The first iPhone with three cameras in a square block, in the larger Pro size, with a matt glass back and rounded rather than flat sides. Ireland gets the A2218.

What this fixes

The faults a front camera repair puts right.

  • The selfie camera is blackThe rear camera works and the front does not. The module or its connection.
  • Blurry or hazy selfiesOften condensation or dust behind the lens rather than a broken camera.
  • Face or fingerprint unlock has stopped working tooImportant to mention. The the biometric sensor components share the assembly, and that changes the job.
  • The screen stays lit against your ear on a callThe proximity sensor sits in the same assembly and is a common casualty.
  • The selfie is soft but the rear cameras are sharpConfirms the front module rather than anything shared.
  • A dark ring or vignette around every selfieThe lens cover or the module seating. Both are in the display assembly on most phones.
Before you spend anything

Is it definitely the front camera?

The front camera shares its assembly with Face ID and the proximity sensor, so what else is failing tells us a lot.

IfIt stopped right after a screen repair somewhere else
The front camera and Face ID transfer across during a screen replacement, and a rushed transfer is the usual cause. Bring it in and we will tell you what we find.
IfIt is hazy rather than black
Look for moisture behind the lens. If the phone has been wet this is a liquid damage assessment first.
IfFace unlock stopped at the same time
Say so at the counter. On several phones that is a different and more involved part than the camera alone.
IfOnly certain apps see it
That is permissions, not hardware, and it costs nothing to check first.
IfIt went soft with no drop and no repair
Sometimes the adhesive holding the lens has failed. It is still a module job and it is not expensive.

If you are not sure which of these you have, that is what the free diagnostic is for. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.

What parts do we fit?

Two tiers, and you choose knowing which is which: a genuine Apple service part where one is made for this component, or premium aftermarket where none is. The warranty is 360 days on either.

The words genuine and Apple certified mean something specific and we only use them when they are true of the part in front of us. Anything else is described as premium aftermarket, plainly.

    Genuine, OEM and aftermarket: what the words actually mean

    What the €80 includes

    • The replacement front camera assembly fitted
    • Proximity and ambient light sensors checked
    • Face ID tested where it is part of the assembly
    • 360-day warranty on the part and the workmanship

    Nothing extra gets done and charged for without you saying yes to it. Where the diagnostic turns up a second fault, the work stops there and you hear the price before it goes any further.

    A collection and return across Dublin can be added when you book. The repair price and the warranty are the same either way.

    Choose the part

    Two tiers, named before you agree.

    The front camera rides in the display assembly on most phones, so the tier conversation usually happens alongside the screen one.

    iMEND Premium

    Original or manufacturer-grade part

    The manufacturer's own module, and the safest option where face unlock hardware sits beside it.

    Priced at the counter

    Value Edition

    Premium aftermarket, tested to the same standard

    Made to the original specification. On a front camera the difference is small and the saving is real.

    Priced at the counter

    The €80 on this page is our standard quote for this repair. Which tier suits your device is a conversation at the counter, and the price for each is on the table before you decide. The 360-day warranty is the same on both, because we would not offer a tier we did not think would last.

    Tell us if face unlock stopped at the same time. On several phones that is a different and more involved part than the camera on its own, and it changes what we order.

    The parts we use, in full

    How we do it

    From the counter to back in your hand.

    Tell us what it is doing

    Two minutes online, or straight in the door at 4 Richmond Road. The more you can say about when it started, the faster we get to the cause.

    Free diagnostic

    Before a part is ordered we establish what has really gone wrong. It is free, and it is the reason people do not leave here having paid for the wrong thing.

    You approve the price

    You hear the number first. If it is not worth it to you, that is a perfectly good answer and it costs you nothing.

    The repair is carried out

    It stays in the shop. The work is done on our own bench by the technicians who do it every day of the week.

    Bench testing

    We test what we replaced and everything that sits beside it, because that is where a rushed repair shows up.

    Back in your hands

    Pick it up from Richmond Road or have it couriered back across Dublin. Either way it carries the 360-day warranty.

    Before it goes back

    What we test every time.

    A repair is not finished when the part is fitted. It is finished when the things around it have been checked.

    Face or fingerprint unlock

    Where it shares the assembly, tested before the phone goes back.

    Auto brightness

    The ambient light sensor sits in the same strip and is easy to disturb.

    The earpiece and the sensors beside it

    All of them ride in the same assembly and all of them get disturbed.

    Portrait and depth effects

    Where the phone has them, since they depend on more than the one lens.

    What happens to what is on it?

    Nothing about this repair requires reading what is on the device, and nobody here does.

    Testing is a different matter. To prove a repair works we have to turn the device on and use it, which sometimes means asking for your passcode. Say no if you prefer and we will show you exactly which checks we cannot complete without it. Where you do give it, it is written on the paper docket and the docket is shredded. There is deliberately no field for a passcode in our system.

    Take a backup before you come in. It is free, it takes two minutes on a device that still works, and it is the one thing nobody regrets having done.

    What about the water resistance?

    After any repair, ours included, work on the assumption that the device is no longer water resistant.

    The rating on the box was measured once, on a sealed unit, in controlled conditions. It was never a promise about the device three years later. Adhesive hardens, seals compress and a single drop can break the seal without leaving a mark you would notice.

    We reseal with fresh adhesive and it does a real job: rain, splashes and a wet counter are all fine. A submerged phone is not, and we would rather say that plainly than let you find out.

    If yours goes near water regularly, say so at the counter and we will tell you what the adhesive covers and what it does not.

    The 360-day warranty

    Every completed repair is covered for 360 days on the part and the workmanship. If the display we fitted fails, or the fitting was at fault, we put it right at no charge.

    What it does not cover is a new accident. A phone dropped again after the repair, fresh physical damage, liquid damage, or a fault in a part we did not touch, all sit outside it. That is the same limit any honest repair warranty has.

    No fix, no fee. The diagnostic is free, and if the repair does not happen you pay nothing.

    Three ways to get it to us

    • Walk in to Drumcondra4 Richmond Road, Dublin 3. No appointment. Mon to Sat 10:00 to 18:00, closed Sunday. Most phone screens and batteries done in 15 to 45 minutes while you wait.
    • We collect and returnDoor to door across Dublin, Monday to Friday, usually 2 to 4 working days. The repair takes the same time; the courier is the difference.
    • Send it in yourselfPost it to the shop with a tracked, insured service and a note with your number. We cannot cover a parcel in transit, and that is the honest trade-off for the route existing.

    Same repair price and the same 360-day warranty on all three. The only thing that changes is how the device travels.

    Asked all the time

    iPhone 11 Pro Max screen questions.

    €80, including the part, the fitting, the testing and the 360-day warranty. VAT is included. You get that figure confirmed before anything is opened, and if we cannot repair the phone you pay nothing.

    Usually same day. If the diagnostic turns up something else, or a part has to be ordered, we tell you before you commit rather than after.

    On most models the front camera and the Face ID components are separate parts in one assembly, so the camera can be replaced without touching Face ID. We check yours before we start and tell you if that is not true of your model.

    Sometimes, and not always. The dot projector is paired to your phone at the factory, so if that specific component has failed it often cannot be replaced with a working one. We will tell you straight rather than charging you to find out.

    Yes, when the job is done properly. On most phones the unlock hardware sits in the same assembly and has to be handled with the camera. That handling is what goes wrong in a rushed repair.

    Usually yes. The camera is its own module inside the assembly and it can be swapped on its own.

    A front camera module is one of the cheaper parts in a phone, so on most models yes. We will say where it is not.

    iMEND is an independent repair service. Brand and model names are used only to describe the devices we repair. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or an authorised service provider for any manufacturer.

    Why bring it here

    An independent workshop, not a kiosk.

    We are a dedicated repair bench in Dublin 3. That means we take on work authorised channels turn away, and we tell you honestly when something is not worth fixing.

    Diagnosed, not guessed

    Every device is tested before we quote, so you are not paying for a part that was never the problem.

    Parts that last

    Genuine or OEM-grade components chosen for your model. We tell you which is going in before we start.

    Your data stays yours

    Hardware-only repairs. We never read, copy or move anything on your device.

    No fix, no fee

    If we cannot repair it, there is nothing to pay. No diagnostic fee, no handling charge.

    The screen stopped working on my iPhone 13 mini - it had recently been repaired elsewhere. I got a warm welcome in the shop, and a phone to borrow while mine was in for diagnostics and repair. An issue with the battery was also detected and I am very happy with the new screen and battery and appreciated the excellent service and communication.
