Use this guide to remove and replace the dual rear cameras in the iPhone 8 Plus. The rear camera assembly consists of two individual modules: one wide-angle camera and one telephoto camera.
Note: This guide instructs you to completely detach the display cables and remove the display assembly in order to better access the rear cameras—however, it's possible to remove and replace the rear cameras with the display cables still connected. Advanced readers may skip disconnecting the display in order to save time, as long as the display is properly supported and the display cables are not damaged.

Worked Amazing! I feel so accomplished doing this myself! Thanks for the Step By Step guide! I can’t wait to fix something else now!
I completed this repair on this iPhone 8 Plus after I damaged the cameras myself. I managed to succeed in chipping off all of the back glass panel of the phone successfully. Removing this shattered panel was the hardest iPhone repair job I have ever done. At the very end, I attempted to wiggle off the metal housing over the cameras that was originally part of the back glass. After removing this housing, I discovered that I had damaged both cameras. In retrospect I should have removed the cameras from the inside of the phone before prying off this housing.
The back glass removal is the most impossible task for this phone and should be attempted only by crazy people with an appetite for pain. I will document with a “repair story.” —CW
Any idea on what the cable running beside the camera to the right is for? Mine is broken and can’t seem to figure out what it is for.
I'm also wondering what that cable running beside the camera to the casing is used for. I can't find the correct screw to fix the cable to the casing as I have purchased a replacement cable and want to install it correctly. What screw dimensions and type of screw fits that cable to the casing?
