There's a stain that won't come off my iphone camera lens, what can I do?

There's this stain on the back camera lens of my iphone that just won't come off. I have used alcohol and other things, but it won't come off. It makes part of the pictures I take blurry. What do I do?

More likely this is debris or 'dust' that has got inside on the sensor. The best thing to do is take it to an Apple store and have it cleaned.

Add: another possibility is condensation and fungal growth.

You would need to very DIY-competent to be able to do it yourself. See video:

The parts are cheap off of ebay, and youtube has DIY videos showing how to replace it. It should cost less than $15 and take about 20 minutes.

Thanks If the metal ring that the magnetic camera sits on covers this will it stop calls, videos etc from working?
