Restore the rear camera on the iPhone 16 with this genuine Apple Rear Camera Module, part 821-04937-04, supplied in reclaimed condition. Professionally removed from a working donor device, fully cleaned and bench-tested by our QA team, the module delivers Apple's original optical performance, sensor calibration profiles and computational photography support — the same hardware fitted at the factory.

Because it's a genuine Apple module rather than an aftermarket copy, the technician avoids the colour-shift, focus-hunting and noise-handling issues common to non-original iPhone 16 cameras. Optical image stabilisation, autofocus, Night Mode, Portrait depth and 4K video stabilisation all behave as designed once the module is correctly seated and the device is paired through Apple's Repair Assistant.

Common Faults Resolved

• Blurry, soft or out-of-focus rear photos and video
• Autofocus hunting or failure to lock

• Camera app crash on launch
• Optical stabilisation rattle or knocking sound
• Night Mode failure or colour-cast issues
• Liquid or impact damage to the original camera module

Important Notes

• Calibration required: after fitment, calibrate the camera through Apple's Repair Assistant (Settings → General → About → Parts & Service History → Restart & Finish Repair). Calibration is required for full feature performance and to minimise system warnings.
• iOS 26 / iOS 26.1 "Unknown Part" notification: because this is a reclaimed genuine Apple module rather than a factory-paired one, the device may display an "Unknown Part" entry under Parts & Service History. This is informational only and does not affect camera performance, autofocus, stabilisation, Night Mode, Portrait or video. Only Apple-authorised repair processes can guarantee removal of this entry.
• Bench-test before final fitment: connect and verify autofocus, OIS, macro focus, Portrait depth, Night Mode and video stabilisation before sealing the device.
• Cleanliness is critical: any dust or debris in the camera housing will appear as artefacts, blurs or light-flare in images. Work in a clean environment and inspect the lens before reassembly.
• Correct seating: ensure the module sits flush in the chassis recess to maintain focus alignment and OIS performance.
• Installation should be carried out by a qualified technician using suitable heat, separation and ESD-safe tools to avoid damage to the chassis, flex cables or logic board.
