Camera lens

My camera lens is cracked, however it does not look cracked on the outside until I take a photo and it looks like this

I have no idea when this happened as I have not dropped my phone at anytime. Does anyone know if this can be fixed?

iPhone 12, iOS 16

iphone 16 plus camera lens broke Anyone else having issues with the new iphone 16 plus back bottom camera lens? I've had the phone for a week and a half and the bottom lens is cracked. I have apple care, but don't want to spend $99 and take two 3 hour round trips to the Apple Store. Just wondering if maybe others were having the issue also and it might be a design flaw? I've had iphones since the 5 and have never cracked a screen or camera lens before.

Wide lens 0.5x malfunction When I open my camera app, the 0.5x wide lens briefly appears and then disappears. Additionally, the camera then refocuses at 2x. I pinch out, but the furthest it will go out is 1x. The weird thing is that the 0.5x wide lens does work on panoramic, slow mo, and time lapse. I’ve already taken my phone to an Apple Store and they verified there is no damage to it. They basically said they’ve never heard of that issue and there’s nothing they can do because I’m past warranty. I have an IPhone 12pro max. Is there anything else I can do?

Internally broken camera? Hi - My XR iPhone has no visible cracks on the camera lens (its an older model with one camera lens) but it looks like broken glass when you attempt to use it to take a pic. Any ideas?

I would take your phone to an Apple Store or authorized repair and have them tested. Alternatively click on Support on the lower left side of this page and follow the prompts. They should be able to tell you if it can be fixed and the cost.
