The iPhone 16 Plus arrived in 2024, with a 6.7 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display and the A18 chip. Charging is over USB-C and it unlocks with Face ID. It is rated IP68. The same two vertical cameras and aluminium frame as the iPhone 16, in a noticeably larger body. If it feels big in one hand, it is the Plus. A3290 is the model sold here.

What this fixes
Why people book a rear camera repair.
- A rattle when the camera opensThe stabiliser has come loose. You can hear it if you shake the phone gently near your ear, and it will not settle on its own.
- The app opens to a black screenThe module is not being seen at all. Sometimes the camera, sometimes the connection to the board.
- Only one of the lenses is affectedUseful to know. The wide, ultra wide and telephoto are separate modules and the price is not the same.
- Spots or haze in every photoDust or moisture behind the lens. It shows worst against a bright sky.
- Only the ultrawide or the zoom is badOne module of several. Cheaper than it sounds, and worth saying which when you book.
- A purple or green blob in the corner of every shotLight getting in past a damaged seal, usually after a drop or a poor repair.
Before you spend anything
Is it definitely the camera?
Cameras are the repair where software and hardware look most alike from the outside, so it is worth checking two things before booking.
IfThe camera app is black but the front camera works
That narrows it to the rear module or its connection. Force close the app and restart the phone once first, because occasionally that is all it is.
IfIt rattles constantly, not just in the camera app
Something else is loose in the phone. Worth a diagnostic rather than assuming the camera.
IfIt started after a drop that also cracked the back
The camera glass and the rear panel may come as one part on your model. Ask us, because doing both together is often cheaper than doing them separately.
IfThe lens glass looks cracked in a raking light
That is the cover glass and not the camera. It is the cheaper of the two by a distance.
IfIt went soft after a screen repair elsewhere
The front camera sits near the display connectors and is easy to disturb. Worth checking before assuming a module failed.
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?
Where Apple supplies a service part for this component, that is what goes in. Where it does not, we fit premium aftermarket and say so. Which of the two you are getting is settled before you agree to anything, and the 360-day warranty does not change between them.
Nobody here will call a part original when it is not. If what fits your phone is premium aftermarket, you hear that word at the counter rather than reading it on a docket afterwards.
What the €210 includes
- The replacement camera module fitted and seated
- Camera glass replaced where it is part of the assembly
- Focus, stabilisation and every lens tested
- 360-day warranty on the part and the workmanship
You will not find work on the bill you did not agree to. If something else shows up while the phone is open, we stop and ask rather than deciding for you.
If getting here is the problem, we collect and return across Dublin from Monday to Friday. It costs the same repair price and carries the same 360-day warranty.
Choose the part
Two tiers, named before you agree.
Cameras are modules rather than tuned panels, so the tier gap is narrower than it is on a screen.
Value Edition
Premium aftermarket, tested to the same standard
Made to the original specification and tested before fitting. On an older phone this is usually the sensible call.
Priced at the counterThe €210 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.
Check whether it is the lens cover glass rather than the module first. That is a different and much cheaper part, and half the blurry cameras that come in here need it rather than a camera.
How we do it
From the counter to back in your hand.
Tell us what it is doing
Book online in about two minutes, or walk in without an appointment. Describe the symptom rather than the repair, it is more useful to us.
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 get the exact figure before any work starts. Nothing else happens without asking you first.
The repair is carried out
Done at our Drumcondra bench by the technicians who do this every day.
Bench testing
Nothing is handed back untested. The repaired part and its neighbours are all checked first.
Back in your hands
Collected from Drumcondra, or returned to your door if we picked it up. Covered for 360 days.
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.
Every lens, not just the one you mentioned
Wide, ultrawide and telephoto where the phone has them, because a knock rarely lands on only one.
Focus at close range and at distance
A module can focus perfectly at arm's length and never lock at two metres.
Flash and torch
Both run through the same assembly on most phones.
Video stabilisation
Recorded while walking, because that is the only way a failing stabiliser shows itself.
Will my data be safe?
We are replacing a part, not reading a phone. Your photos, messages and accounts are not something this job touches.
The one place it comes up is testing. A repair is not finished until it has been used, and using a locked device means a passcode. You are welcome to withhold it, and we will tell you which checks that leaves undone rather than quietly skipping them. A passcode you do give us lives on a paper docket that gets shredded, never in a database.
Back it up first if you can. A device that has taken a knock has had its storage shaken whether or not anything looks wrong, and a backup is free insurance against the day that matters.
Will it still survive a splash?
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.

€210, 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.
Often yes, and it is much cheaper than the module. On some models the glass is part of the rear panel and on others it is separate, so tell us which lens and we will tell you which job it is before you book.
Where a genuine manufacturer module is available for your model we fit that, and it behaves exactly as it did. Where it is not, a premium aftermarket module is very close, and we say which one is going in before you agree to it.
Look at the glass over the lens in bright light at an angle. Cracks and deep scratches show clearly, and where they are there that is almost always the cause. The two are different parts at different prices and we confirm which before ordering.
No. Polishing removes material and leaves the glass optically worse than the scratch did. Replacing the cover glass is the proper fix and it is not expensive.
Each lens has its own module and its own cover glass. Damage is usually to one of them rather than all, which is why we ask you to say which.
