Introduction
Use this guide to remove and replace the rear cameras in the iPhone 12 mini. Both camera modules are replaced as a single unit.
***Note***: On iOS 18 and newer, you can calibrate new, genuine camera modules using Apple's [link|https://support.apple.com/en-us/120579|Repair Assistant|new_window=true].
You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.
Conclusion
Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.
***To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order.*** Apply new adhesive where necessary after cleaning the relevant areas with isopropyl alcohol (>90%).
After your repair, depending on the replacement part, you may be able to [link|https://support.apple.com/en-us/120579|calibrate it using Apple's Repair Assistant|new_window=true], available as of iOS 18. Update your device, navigate to Settings ***→*** General ***→***About ***→*** Parts & Service History, tap Restart & Finish Repair, and follow the onscreen prompts.
