简介
In the case of a damaged or malfunctioning front camera, it is possible although difficult to replace only the front camera.
As the front camera is part of an assembly together with the infrared camera and dot projector, it is necessary to replace the front camera separately if Face ID functionality is to be retained.
Replacing the front camera alone does not affect the function of the Face ID, while Face ID will be disabled when replacing the full front camera assembly.
Before attempting the actual replacement, a new camera should be plugged in and tested in order to verify that this repair will fix the problem.
