Before You Begin

Warning

  • Read Battery Safety and follow workspace and battery handling guidelines before you begin.

  • The TrueDepth camera includes one or more lasers. Disassembly of the TrueDepth camera, damage to the TrueDepth camera, or failure to use genuine Apple parts could expose you to hazardous infrared laser emissions, possibly resulting in injuries to eyes or skin.

Remove the following parts before you begin:

Tools

  • 6.1-inch repair tray

  • ESD-safe tweezers

  • Nitrile or lint-free gloves

  • Nylon probe (black stick)

Caution

This procedure requires TrueDepth Camera Configuration. To perform TrueDepth Camera Configuration you will need the following:

  • A Mac with the latest version of Apple Service Utility installed. You’ll also need to install iPhone Repair – TrueDepth Camera resources, located in the Apple Service Utility Resources window.

  • The device must be running the latest version of iOS.

  • Internet access

  • A Lightning cable

After you’ve completed all removal and reassembly steps and installed Apple Service Utility on a Mac, learn how to initiate the TrueDepth Camera Configuration process at support.apple.com/self-service-repair.

Note: This procedure shows images of iPhone 13 Pro with no mmWave antenna. However, the repair instructions are identical for iPhone 13 Pro (mmWave antenna).

Removal

  1. Place the enclosure in the repair tray with the Lightning connector facing the cutout.

  2. Put on the gloves to prevent contamination of the TrueDepth camera lenses.

  3. Gently hold the two TrueDepth camera flex cables together and tilt up the bottom edge of the camera assembly. Then lift the cameras away from the lip of the enclosure.

Reassembly

  1. Put on the gloves to prevent contamination of the camera lenses.

  2. Inspect the TrueDepth camera assembly to ensure that the grounding foam and grounding springs are intact. If either of these are missing or damaged, replace the TrueDepth camera assembly.

  3. Tilt the top edge of the TrueDepth camera assembly under the lip of the enclosure as shown. Then lower the camera into the enclosure. Use your finger or the black stick to adjust the alignment.

    • Caution: Ensure that top edge of the TrueDepth camera is positioned under the lip of the enclosure.

  4. Follow reassembly steps 3 through 19 in Top Speaker or 3 through 17 in Top Speaker (mmWave Antenna). Then continue to step 5.

  5. Use ESD-safe tweezers to remove the protective covers from the TrueDepth camera.

    • Caution: Don’t touch the front of the TrueDepth camera assembly after the protective covers are removed.

  6. Inspect the TrueDepth camera assembly. Ensure that the top edge of the camera assembly is under the lip of the enclosure and centered between the sides of the enclosure.

    • Caution: If the TrueDepth camera is positioned incorrectly, use the black stick to move it into the correct position.
