just noticed that theres a small piece of dirt or dust trapped under my rear facing camera lens. i never noticed it before, and it is stuck to the outer lens itself (attached to the housing) not the camera module. surprisingly, it does not effect the camera or pictures, since it seems to be just out of the field of view. i have no idea how it would get in there, seems much bigger than normal dust. its more like a small piece of tobacco that fell out of the bottom of a cig pack. anyone else get something under their camera lens?

the pics and write ups on ifixit make what wouldve been a 5 minute dust cleaning job on a 4/4S into a FULL teardown in the 5. theres no way to just remove the rear housing???
