I bought a iPhone XS recently ... and I don’t use it roughly at all... recently I found 2 spots on my rear camera glass ... I don’t know if it’s a scratch ... it goes when I wipe it ... but come backs again when it has finger print on it .... its frustrating me soo much .... and I haven’t heard anyone who has scratched their camera lens as it’s sapphire glass. How did this happen to mine only ?
 
how much will it cost to repair camera glass lens ? Is That even possible ?
Not possible. The camera housing is secured to the phone from the inside so Apple will tell you you need to replace the phone. Your only options are to try and use a hobby knife to pry the glass out using a heat gun yourself or have a 3rd party repair shop do it

A few misunderstandings here.
- it’s not sapphire “glass”
- it’s not the camera lens, it’s a lens cover only. The camera lens is inside the camera module itself.
Are you photos affected ? If not then don’t worry about it.
