iPhone 11 Your iPhone 10 & 11 has dust in the camera

[Six0Four]

Well i've been through 8 iPhones. XR's and 11's. Every single one had either a dust spec under the front or black glass where the camera is. Might be hard to see at first but once the light hits it you'll notice it. 3 also had a metal shaving/flake behind the front screen. Gotta really look close. All bought from Best buy and the Apple store in Canada.

So my solution was to learn how to fix it myself with a $20 kits from Amazon.

Seriously Apple, step up the quality control. Wow.

Wait a second, doesn’t that void the warranty?

yeah i have noticed some specks of dust under my iphones (7 plus, X , 11 pro )..i know that the quality of image does not effect...fixing something like this it is not easy for all...we must accept this and some else..health to everyone

If you opened the phone, say goodbye to your warranty...

Is this a fact or opinion ?

 

[freeagent]

I haven't seen that in any of my phones.. Just throwing it out there. Because of course you made me look.

Yup it would void your warranty if they knew. In my case i re-applied the exact same gasket adhesive as the OEM so i don't know how they would know.

Ya in most cases it does not effect image quality. It's usually on the black part just to the side. But my ocd wont allow it lol. Although it could over time end up right on the sensor so i would rather just remove it.

If you’re ok with no warranty just be careful with the device later on. These gaskets I believe protect against water damage and Apple would replace them when they open a phone, from what I learned here.

Ya i'm sure they do replace the gasket. The thing is it's not as simple as just opening the screen and blowing out the dust. You have to actually wipe off the dust because it is usually stuck to the underside of the glass from the factory. So it doesn't blow out on it's own. Trusting Apple to do this perfectly is a pretty big risk unless they have an excellent eye.

In 15 years i've never dropped a phone in water so i don't plan to start now. Fingers crossed though lol.

I know we all tend to try and avoid water contact where possible. But there are days, you know, where just anything goes wrong.

I had a small mobile phone drop out of a shirt pocket many years ago - it bounced of the floor a few times until it fell into a glass of water meters away. Maybe that’s just my luck though

Oh totally and now that i said that i'm probably gonna drop it in the toilet tomorrow lol.

I think i did a pretty good job at applying a new gasket though so we'll wait and see.

So you’re saying you don’t think Apple is not trained to detect that you opened your phone? (You wouldn’t be the first.) I guarantee they can, even by looking at the Pentolobe screws, they probably can see ‘track wear’ along the base.

Plus, how would you know what gasket adhesive that they’re using? I mean, you can see the same color perhaps, but you wouldn’t be able to find the same factory adhesive they’re using specifically.

Do they take out a jewelers loupe and look at the wear on the screws ? Ya that's possible. All i'm saying is the gaskets look damn similar. But there may be an easy tell that Apple can notice in a second.

When i decided to open it up i expected it to void my warranty. But for me it was worth it since i don't have the time or patience to exchange phone after phone.

After opening it up and watching some videos of others doing the same it makes me feel a bit more comfortable knowing that if any minor issues come up that i could probably just fix it on my own.

I’ve done multiple housing swaps for iPhone X to qualify for warranty replacement due to another issue.

It’s possible to do it right and without leaving a trace.
