If that’s the case then it’s the protector that broke. As mentioned above just remove it (all).

The glass on the lenses is level with the edge, more or less. A little hard to see in the pictures but clearly a crater there so the glass has broken. Sapphire is supposed to be almost unbreakable. Don't remember any similar cases.

Yeah I could be wrong on the lens protectors but it’s hard to know for sure based on the OP replies.
 
What a mess of a post Those are lens protectors, that’s not how the new iPhone looks “out of the box” unless it’s a fake. Remove the protectors, they’re useless anyway.

I’m not going to toss out insults, however, @Big Jobs you’re mistaken.

The OP’s photos — Notice the thick, black rings?



A ‘naked’ iPhone 15 Pro Blue Titanium photos by another MR member — The actual camera lens surrounds are skinnier/smaller and color match — and don’t look like silicone/rubber.

Please tell us you were inebriated when you put those on and forgot about it...
I feel a little bad but I did LOL at this.

Thanks for the pic! Saved me a trip to the apple store.

And sorry for the mess of a post.

There must have been 3 lens protectors with thick black rings in the tech armor camera protector they sent with the front glass. I truly thought the plastic piece that must have housed them was the protector and was worthless. So i threw that away.

No the question is how to remove them? Pen knife and hair dryer?

Thanks for all the input.
