Does anyone know how to repair the camera glass of the iphone xs max? i can only find the glass with the ring on ebay but the ring for the glass is soldered on the frame of the phone. i tried to heat it up but i cannot remove it.
Sorry guy you’ll need a new case unit and transfer all of your phones guts to it. As you can see here in the iPhoneX teardown on Step 22 iPhone X Teardown the back glass is well glued and the lens cover glass frame is welded to the case! This is the same for the Xs Max.
Just replace the back cover…they sell it on this site actually. iPhone XS Max Aftermarket Blank Rear Glass Panel with Lens Cover
The fastest and by far the simplest and most effective way to replace the back camera glass on an iPhone XS Max is to replace only the lens. This can be done for around $5-$6. First, you heat up the lens, carefully remove it, and make sure all of the excess glass is removed. After that, you should be able to grab the replacement lens (linked below), add a little bit of adhesive and put it on. I have used this method before on an iPhone 7 Plus and it worked perfectly! Just make sure that when you are removing the glass you are super careful not to touch the camera sensor with the glass, fingers, or even tweezers. Hopefully, this helped you!

if I were you id heat it up and remove the glass from your new piece and put that on with a little glue, you can remove the whole thing by breaking its broacket from the inside but you risk breaking the back glass (presuming they are like iPhone 8)
