One way or another, but by “ways unknown to science” dust sooner or later gets into the iPhone case, clogging up the camera lens from the inside. Nobody knows how this happens - especially when you consider that this kind of thing shouldn't happen, even if the case of the smartphone has never been opened.
Naturally, users wonder if they need to contact a service center to solve this problem, or if there is a way to solve it on their own, without leaving home. If you have the necessary tools and a certain amount of diligence, you can also clean the camera lens at home.
Of course, for some, offering to "open" their iPhone 5 themselves may sound like offering open-heart surgery on the kitchen table with an ax. In addition, please note that such interference could void the warranty. But, if there is a month left before the end of the warranty period, and it takes more than one hour to get to the service center and a stain on the lens completely spoils any picture, it may be worth taking the risk and correcting the situation.
So, if you have the right screwdriver at hand, with which you can unscrew the two bottom screws in the iPhone 5 case, a plastic suction cup that allows you to remove the front panel without leaving a scratch on the aluminum case, a firm hand and a little patience, then the problem of dust on camera lenses can be decide in a few minutes.
As shown in the JerryRigEverything YouTube video, it's not that hard to do. True, after that, you will hardly have to rely on warranty service or repairs. But sometimes, the quality of the photos deserves it.
Thus, it is necessary, first of all, to solve a problem for yourself, which is more important - a guarantee, or high-quality pictures without flaws. Secondly, you need to watch the video above, and understand if the task of eliminating dust is not too difficult, and if the necessary tools are at hand. And remember, even your beloved iPhone 5 was collected by ordinary people.
