The iPhone 7 Plus arrived in 2016, with a 5.5 inch Retina HD LCD display and the A10 Fusion chip. Charging is over Lightning and it unlocks with Touch ID in the home button. There is an aluminium frame, and it is rated IP67. The first iPhone with two rear cameras, an aluminium back rather than glass, and no headphone socket. The home button does not move; it is pressure sensitive. Ireland gets the A1784.

What this fixes

Why people book a rear camera repair.

  • Photos are blurry and will not focusUsually the autofocus mechanism rather than the lens. It often follows a drop, even one that left no mark.
  • 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 the ultrawide or the zoom is badOne module of several. Cheaper than it sounds, and worth saying which when you book.
  • Photos are fine but video shakesThe stabiliser again, and it shows up in video long before it shows up in stills.
  • It focuses and then drifts out againA failing autofocus motor. It does not settle down on its own.
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.

IfPhotos are hazy but the glass looks intact
Look at the lens in a strong light for internal condensation. If there is moisture behind it this is liquid damage, and a new camera fitted into a wet phone will fog too.
IfOnly the zoom is soft and the main lens is sharp
That is the telephoto module rather than the whole array. It is a different part and usually a different price, so ask before booking the full repair.
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.
IfIt is only bad in low light
Compare it against another phone of the same model first. Some of what people take for a fault is how the phone has always performed.

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?

Genuine Apple service parts where they exist for the component, and premium aftermarket where they do not. You are told which one your repair uses before you agree to it, and the 360-day warranty is the same either way.

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 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.

    Dublin collection and return is available on weekdays if you cannot make it in. Nothing about the price or the cover changes because the courier brought it.

    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.

    iMEND Premium

    Original or manufacturer-grade part

    The manufacturer's own module. On phones that calibrate the camera to the board this is the tier least likely to produce a notice in settings.

    €85

    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.

    €80

    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.

    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.

    The parts we use, in full

    How we do it

    From the counter to back in your hand.

    Tell us what it is doing

    Walk in during opening hours or book ahead, whichever suits. Tell us what the device is actually doing rather than what you think the fix is.

    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

    The price is confirmed to you before anything begins, and it does not move afterwards unless you agree to something else.

    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

    Nothing is handed back untested. The repaired part and its neighbours are all checked first.

    Back in your hands

    Yours again, from the counter or by courier, with 360 days of cover on the part and the work.

    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.

    Autofocus

    Close up and at distance, which is where a failing focus motor shows and a still photo of a wall does not.

    Flash and torch

    Both sit in the same assembly and both get disturbed during the job.

    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.

    Video stabilisation

    Recorded while walking, because that is the only way a failing stabiliser shows itself.

    What happens to what is on it?

    This is hardware work. We do not need to go into your photos, messages or accounts to do it, and we do not.

    We do need to switch the device on and use it to test the repair, so we may ask for your passcode. If you would rather not hand it over, tell us and we will show you what we cannot verify without it. Any passcode you give us goes on the paper docket and the docket gets shredded. It is never stored in our system.

    Back the device up before any repair. Not because we expect to lose anything, but because a device that has already been dropped is one whose storage has already been shaken, and a backup costs nothing.

    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 7 Plus 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.

    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.

    A camera repair does not touch storage, so nothing already on the phone is at risk.

    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.

    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.
