Chosen Solution
I dropped my phone earlier this year and throughout didn’t have the chance to fix it so the lens started cracking open, (Not the first time it happened to me Iphone X Max) I ordered the lens cover to seal it up but it still shows some dirt I wanted to ask what should I do to fix it, I was thinking of replacing the whole lens but there was a warning not to buy if I see scratches of some sort. Anyone had this issue and how they solved it?
Good morning, That’s quite unfortunate. I can’t say I’ve personally had this issue but I can see the frustration.

This is likely sensor level damage that can’t be cleaned 1 camera shows this: if you can take off the lens piece, clean it but not before: Doing a visual inspection. If this does conclude as dirty, give it a clean if you can. If not, try inspecting the physical lens piece and if that doesn’t show, that sensor has damage to it on a sensor level. Let me know how this goes
