Introduction
Use this guide to replace the front camera assembly in your iPhone 15.
This assembly includes the front-facing camera and Face ID hardware. These parts come as one unit, and the sensors are uniquely paired to your logic board. Note: If you replace this part, Face ID will no longer work. This repair will restore a broken selfie cam to working order, but on iOS 17.6 and earlier, only Apple or an Apple “authorized” technician can restore Face ID. On iOS 18 and newer, you can recalibrate genuine front-facing cameras using Apple's Repair Assistant.
You'll need replacement back glass adhesive to complete this repair.
