The iPhone 17 arrived in 2025, with a 6.3 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display and the A19 chip. It charges over USB-C and it unlocks with Face ID. There is an aluminium frame, and it is rated IP68. Two cameras on the back and a Camera Control button on the right edge. The 6.3 inch screen is slightly larger than the iPhone 16's 6.1. A3520 is the model sold here.

What this fixes
Why people book a front camera repair.
- 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.
- Video calls show a black frameThe module has failed rather than degraded. It does not come back.
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.
IfThe camera is black but Face ID still works
That points at the camera module alone, which is the simpler and cheaper of the two jobs.
IfBoth the camera and Face ID have stopped
The whole assembly or its connector. Worth a diagnostic first, because Face ID components are paired to the phone and not every fault is fixable by swapping a part.
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 stopped right after a screen repair somewhere else
Very likely a connector, because the front camera rides in the display assembly. Worth opening and checking rather than replacing.
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?
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.
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.
What the €125 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
No additional paid work happens without your approval. If the diagnostic finds something behind the part we are replacing, we stop, explain it and confirm the cost first.
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.
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 counterThe €125 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.
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
Nothing is opened or ordered until we know what failed. There is no charge for this and no obligation to go ahead afterwards.
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
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.
Photo and video
Both, because a module can pass one and fail the other.
Proximity
Confirmed on a real call with the phone at your ear, which is the only way to know.
Face unlock where the device has it
Registered fresh and tested, since the hardware sits alongside the camera.
Portrait and depth effects
Where the phone has them, since they depend on more than the one lens.
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.
Is it still water resistant afterwards?
Treat the phone as no longer water resistant after any repair, including ours.
Apple's IP68 rating is measured on a brand new, factory sealed phone under controlled laboratory conditions. It is not a permanent property of the device. The seal degrades with age, heat and everyday knocks long before anybody opens it.
Opening a phone means cutting through that seal. We refit the display with fresh adhesive, which restores a physical seal and keeps ordinary splashes and rain out. What we will not do is tell you it is back to IP68, because we have no way to test that and neither does any independent shop in Ireland.
If your phone lives near water, say so when you book and we will talk you through what the adhesive does and does not cover.
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.

€125, 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.
The front camera and Face ID flex have to be transferred to the new display during a screen replacement. Done in a hurry it gets damaged, and that is one of the most common reasons a phone arrives here with a dead selfie camera.
On most phones it is mounted in the display assembly rather than the body, so it comes out with the screen. That is also why it sometimes stops working after a screen repair done badly.
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.
