iPhone Front Camera Repair Melbourne
The iPhone's front-facing camera handles much more than selfies — it's also responsible for FaceTime video calls and, on Face ID-equipped models, the TrueDepth sensor system used for secure authentication. When the front camera fails, it affects video calls, selfie photography, and potentially Face ID. iTech Repairs replaces front camera assemblies on all iPhone models in Melbourne with full post-repair testing.
Common Symptoms
Recognise any of these? Walk in and we'll diagnose and fix it on the spot.
Blurry Selfies
Front camera photos are consistently out of focus or lack sharpness — the image appears foggy or soft regardless of how still you hold the phone.
Camera Black or Frozen
Switching to the front camera shows a black screen or frozen image in the viewfinder, and the preview doesn't respond.
FaceTime Video Not Working
During FaceTime calls, the other party can't see you — your outgoing video feed is black or unavailable.
Face ID Camera Issues
If the TrueDepth dot projector or flood illuminator is damaged, Face ID may fail to set up or fail to recognise your face.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Face ID still work after a front camera repair?
In most cases yes, provided the original Face ID components are transferred carefully during the repair. Face ID is paired to the logic board — we always work to preserve the original TrueDepth components.
Can you fix FaceTime video quality with a camera replacement?
Yes. A degraded or damaged front camera is a common cause of poor FaceTime video quality. A replacement typically restores clear video calling performance.
