Does anyone have any advice? I am 3+ hours away from the closest Apple Store and would like to avoid sending it in and being without a phone for 5+ days if possible. Pretty disappointing as I mainly bought this phone for the camera
How did u notice the speck? Or did it show in your camera lenses
Do you know why? Search where are some iPhone 15 assembled and why, if you want to know right away, it’s India
What do you expect us to do? Come clean it for you? Return it where you bought it
Had something like this that would continuously move around in the lens and sometimes appear on images taken on my phone (14 Pro). Went to an Apple Store and they replaced the whole camera module for free. You definitely want to get it fixed or replaced by Apple, it will bother you down the road
If it’s brand new return it. Sorted
I have the same issue with mine Just living with it since I did not want to wait for an exchange Has not affected picture quality at all
But yes, if you can, definitely get it exchanged
I went to the Apple Store last week for the same reason. All they’re going to tell you is they can’t do much and opening the phone will cause even more damage. They ran a couple diagnostic test to check the camera to see if the speck of dust was effecting it and everything came back fine. Yea it’s annoying but don’t try to think about it as much lol.
My Apple Store replaced the entire camera within 2hrs same day
Damn I guess I should’ve gone to another Apple Store because the employee that was helping me pretty much told me opening the phone will cause more damage.
Just checked mine with a magnifying glass after this post. SAFU!
Can you see it in any of your images? I know it’s visually obnoxious but often dust below the lens doesn’t actually translate to defects in the image. In which case it’s dealer’s choice whether you care enough to get it swapped. (Personally I would, but I will go to great lengths to feel like I’ve gotten value for money, even if it is only cosmetic)
Would you like me to also hold your hand?
Return it.
What brand of case is that? I’d like to buy one.
You Paid $1100 for a speck of dirt in brand new iPhone, return it.
I too had a similar dust particle inside my 15pro max, that was 2 months ago, its still there doesn’t affect the functionality at all.
Replace it.
