Where is the camera's microphone placed? I replaced my camera module and now I hear noises when shooting video. May it happen because I haven't glue it back? It happens even while the phone is static, but video is fine.

I suggest that you can take it off and put some new adhesive on the backside of rear camera, and then see what happened.

Witrigs -

Um. You have a teardown that is not the iFixit official teardown, but has the same title, and links to your offsite blog/YT channel? Isn't that a bit misleading?

I think you should rename this Guide so as to not create confusion with the iFixit article with the same title. My 2¢.
