How to Replace Front Camera on iPhone 15

Hello, everyone, and welcome to  HowFixit. In this step-by-step tutorial,  

I’ll show you how to replace the front  camera (Face ID module) on the iPhone 15.

Before we start disassembling, let me show  you the iPhone 15 repair tool kit you’ll need: 

Screwdriver set: Pentalobe 0.8 mm,  Tri-Wing 0.8 mm, Phillips 1 mm. 

Plastic pry tools Suction Cup 

Screen disassembly tool 

Tweezers Waterproof Sealing Tape

I have included links to all the tools and  spare parts in the video description below.

I also advise using a magnetic mat  throughout the disassembly process,  

especially for repairing a device like  an iPhone 15. While disassembling,  

manage each screw’s placement to ensure  accurate reassembly. And you don’t have  

to worry about the screws getting lost; they  will all securely adhere to the magnetic mat.

So, let’s get started! Turn off your iPhone and  

proceed to remove the two screws  located near the charging port. 

Use a hair dryer to heat the  back glass surface for 2 minutes. 

Fix the suction cup and pull it up. Insert the  blade edge into the thin gap between the back  

glass and the chassis. From this position,  gradually begin to separate the back glass. 

Slowly open the back glass with extreme caution,  

because the back glass is still  connected to the mainboard. 

Remove the screws on the bracket  securing the battery connector ipad usage cover. 

Remember, each screw has its place, so  keep them organized for later reassembly. 

Use a plastic spudger to  disconnect the battery cable. 

Remove the screws securing the  charging coil connector cover. 

Replacing the Face ID module on  the iPhone 15 is a quick process,  

taking around 5 minutes, but it comes with  specific requirements, which I’ll explain shortly. 

Disconnect the Face ID cables from the mainboard. Now, ipad usage you can remove the Face ID module. 

Here’s what you should know when replacing  the Face ID module on your iPhone 15: 

The Face ID module is intricately linked  to the iPhone logic board and the light  

sensor located on the display. So, when you  replace the Face ID module with any other,  

even if it’s the original one from the same  iPhone, the facial recognition function will  

not work. However, you can separately replace  the front camera in the Face ID module. 

The Face ID module comprises an infrared  camera, a front camera, and a dot projector.  

The infrared camera and dot projector are crucial  components of Face ID and cannot be replaced.  

However, you can replace the front camera. To replace the front camera, you will need  

to disassemble the Face ID module, so be cautious  not to damage the module during this process. In  

the video description, I’ve provided a link where  you can find the Face ID module for spare parts.

Let’s begin installing the Face ID module. 

Now that everything is reassembled, you  can test how the Face ID module functions. 

If the front camera works fine,  let’s proceed to the final step  

of assembly and restoring water resistance. Remove old adhesive tape from your iPhone’s case. 

Use isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab to  remove any remaining smaller bits of adhesive. 

Carefully align the edge of the  adhesive tape with the iPhone’s case. 

Use a spudger to press all the adhesive into  place around the entire perimeter of your iPhone. 

Grab the small pull tab and peel off  the front liner from the adhesive. 

Press the back glass cover around the entire  perimeter to secure its position. Afterward,  

tighten the last two screws  located near the charging port.
