Hi all,
my iphone 7 fell face flat down from pocket height earlier today, screen protector cracked a bit, albeit everything else was fine, i wanted to take a picture and opened the back camera and discovered that the whole camera had turned green, like there was a green overlay to it, with millions of thick purple bars/lines, sort of like what happens when you dont connect a vga monitor into the port properly. the camera still works, focusses and takes pictures well. now i wana ask, could it be that the flex just shifted? or the camera itself is damaged, and how do i go about fixing the problm

So your saying the pictures look ok once you load them on a PC / view them? its just the preview?

Really hard to guess what sort of damage you did... going to need to be repaired no matter what you do.

nope, when i take the pictures, the green overcast and purplelines still show in the snapshots, as is in the camera app.

Well i cant say exactly, but yes the green overcast and purple bars still show up when i take a picture, i attached a screenshot of the camera app, in the current state for better reference (tried uploading a snapped picture but the website wont let me), from my past experience with laptop monitors and VGA connectors i can definitely say its a flex related issue
