Please tell me you don't clean it with chemicals.... If so, looks like you removed the IR filter coating on the camera lens. Try aiming a IR remote at it. If you can see the IR transmission, then thats the problem.

Absolutely NOT, I do NOT USE CHEMICALS.....I am Super OCD with my iphone, I wouldnt even think about it.....They only thing I have is the Powersupport Crystal film....and the ONLY THING I USE to clean my iphone is the Cloth It came with....


I dont understand the problem.....What Should I do....I havent done anything to it....I hardly use it, Im too scarred to take it to a lot of places...like I said Im super OCD about it...so if theres a problem...its nothing I did....

but how should I deal with this problem....should I take it to the apple store....would they replace it and give me another one....how does that work....or would they ship it off ?

I've got an iPhone with a working camera and I can see my Apple Remote's IR beam with it. I can't see it with my eyes.

Never used chemicals, heck, never even used water for cleaning. Just my shirt and the included cloth.

ya I dont think this is a great test to tell if that's the problem because I just tested it with my remote with a working camera and I can see the invisable IR transmision coming out of the remote. Pretty cool really.
