iPhone 14 Front-Facing Camera Assembly Replacement
Use this guide to remove or replace the front-facing camera assembly in you iPhone 14.
This guide was created using the A2882 (international) model. If you're fixing a different iPhone 14 model, there may be some visual discrepancies, but the procedure should be the same.
You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach the screen when reassembling the device. Your device will most likely lose its IP (Ingress Protection) rating.
This assembly includes the front-facing camera and Face ID hardware. These parts come as one unit, and the sensors are uniquely paired to your logic board. Note: If you replace this part, Face ID will no longer work. This repair will restore a broken selfie cam to working order, but on iOS 17.6 and earlier, only Apple or an Apple “authorized” technician can restore Face ID. On iOS 18 and newer, you can recalibrate new, genuine front-facing cameras using Apple's Repair Assistant.

Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark the opening pick with a permanent marker.
Got to step 2 and realized the fix kit doesn't include an opening pick! Looks like a guitar pick, and I have those lying around. Is that expected? Looks like the pick is used in many steps below. There's a little blue crowbar that isn't mentioned in the instructions. Perhaps that replaces the opening pick?
Hi! I can't see which guide you were using when writing this comment. Can you reply here with which guide and fix kit you used?
I see you posted this in Meta. I hope it's resolved soon! In the meantime, a guitar pick may work well enough for your repair.
what fix kit?
My fix kit didn't include an opening pick either
My AliExpress refurbished screen came with a pick that has a coin-like circle that pops out, so no modification was necessary
It's not an Ifixit KIT if it doesn't include everything. You'll need to order the opening pic separately. Or head to Walmart like myself and look for guitar pics. Hopefully, this will work just as well.
No pick in mine as well. It’s really not clear that you have to order this separately when ordering an IPhone SE 202/2022 screen repair kit. Is this the case?
Frustrated, I ordered a compact package where everything was encapsulated. Useless suction tools could not separate the screen. If it is unable to decouple the screen, then why sucking suction tools you have provided.
For my kit the triangle pick was stuck inside the box with the screen not with the other tools maybe it's also there for you
Y’all are getting far, FAR too detailed with some of this stuff…. Measuring and marking the pick that you won’t actually use to open the device?!? lol that’s kinda funny. Just heat it up, grab a spudger, and the back just pops right off! The iFixit tech need to stick to the KISS method more often, you know KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID!!! Like l, for reals, I’ve been doing this stuff for YEARS and using iFixit guides regularly and this is just ridiculous at this point!
Will the phone still work if the sensor assembly on the back of the screen is damaged?

Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPhone's rear glass until the whole face is covered.
-
If you can't get the suction cup to stick in the next few steps, fold a strong piece of tape (such as duct tape) into a handle and lift the rear glass with that instead.

Follow this guide to secure your screen with the included tape.
-
Pull the blue handle backwards to unlock the Anti-Clamp's arms.
-
Slide the arms over either the left or right edge of your iPhone.
-
Position the suction cups near the bottom edge of the iPhone—one on the front, and one on the back.
-
Squeeze the cups together to apply suction to the desired area.
-
-
-
Support your iPhone on something sturdy such as a hardcover book so it rests hands-free and parallel to the ground; this makes it easier to work with in the following steps.
-
Use a hair dryer to heat along the bottom edge of the iPhone. The glass should feel slightly too hot to touch.
-
Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and present an opening gap.
-
Insert an opening pick under the rear glass when the Anti-Clamp creates a large enough gap.
-
Skip the next two steps.
-
-
-
Use a hair dryer or a heat gun to heat the bottom edge of the iPhone for 90 seconds or until the rear glass is slightly too hot to touch.
-
-
-
Apply a suction handle to the bottom edge of the rear glass, while avoiding the very edge of the glass.
-
Pull up on the suction cup with firm, constant pressure to create a slight gap between the rear glass and the case.
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap.
-
-
-
Use a hair dryer to heat the left edge of the iPhone for 90 seconds or until the rear glass is slightly too hot to touch.
-
-
-
Slide the opening pick around the lower left corner and up the left edge of the iPhone, slicing through the adhesive holding the rear glass in place.
-
-
-
-
Use a hair dryer to heat the right edge of the iPhone (the edge with the power button) for 90 seconds or until the rear glass is slightly too hot to touch.
-
-
-
Re-insert your pick at the bottom edge of the iPhone, and slide it up the right side to continue separating the adhesive.
-
-
-
Use a hair dryer to heat the top edge of the iPhone for 90 seconds or until the rear glass is slightly too hot to touch.
-
-
-
Insert your pick underneath the top right edge of the phone. Slide it around the top-right corner and halfway across the top edge.
-
-
-
Remove your suction handle from the rear glass.
-
Slowly open your iPhone by swinging the rear glass up from the left side, like the back cover of a book.
-
Lean the rear glass against something to keep it propped up while you're working on the phone.
-
If you don't have anything at hand to lean the rear glass against, your suction handle can do the trick.

I replaced the Front Cameras on my iPhone 14 and now it just freezes my camera app when i try to switch from rear to front and use them. I've tired all the trouble shooting I'm able to. Any ideas on what can fix this. I know the part is good its almost as the phone does not want to register it
Do a forced update on itunes and should get camera working
PLEASE remove back first and disconnect battery before taking cables off!! as per Apple instructions
