iPhone Camera Focus After Drop

[artemus]

I dropped my iPhone last week, and since then the camera keeps struggling to focus, especially when I take close-up photos for work. The screen is fine, so I’m not sure if it’s worth taking in. Has anyone fixed something like this without replacing the whole phone?

My camera did the same thing after a small drop onto a tiled floor, even though the phone looked almost untouched. I booked an iphone repair because the blurry photos were starting to affect receipts, product shots, and quick document scans. The useful part was having someone test the camera properly instead of assuming the whole phone was damaged. It turned out to be a repairable issue, and I kept using the same device afterward. I’d definitely get it checked before deciding the phone is finished.
