Why doesn't my back iPhone camera work?

So I was skating down the side walk, and I had my calculator in my pocket( I was SAT testing), and I fell because of a crack and my phone got squished between the calculator and my thigh. Then I checked the phone and the camera wouldn't work, only the front side where the screen is at. What could it be?

That's most likely a hardware issue with the camera. Depending on the severity, it might be expensive to fix.

The fall broke your camera. There's no "setting" on your phone that is going to magically fix it.

You could take it to a phone repair shop and get an estimate of repair cost. You can then decide if you want to spend the money for repairs, get a new phone, or just leave it the way it is.

It is broken… Busted… Needs repair… Not functioning

You Broke It.

A phone repair specialist will give you the full bad news
after examining the thing.

It got damaged in the fall of course.

  • Why won't my flashlight & back camera work on iphone? My front camera works fine but when i try to flip the camera it won't do anything or it's just a black screen. When i try to use my flashlight it says that it's on but it won't work. I did drop my phone hours before it started doing this, i don't know if that's what caused it or if it's something else. & i've already reset my phone twice & that didn't fix anything. I don't know what to do, please help.
  • Why do I look okay in the front camera of my iPhone but bad in the back camera? I kinda look good in the front camera of my iPhone but I have noticed I don't look that "great" in the back camera of the phone. My face looks longer and my smile is bigger? It's kinda weird. But in the front camera i kinda look like the way I see myself in the mirror. But why do I look good in one camera but bad in the other if they're both cameras?
  • Which camera is better: An old General Imaging x500 Digital Camera or an iPhone 7 front camera? It looks like an iPhone only offers 7 MP while this camera boasts 16 MP but this camera is so old and looks worse at least on its own screen. I'm confused
  • My video/camera doesn't work on my Iphone 4? I tried everything… Restart. Reset. Restore. Doesn't work. I even restored my iPhone as a new phone and still doesn't work… So I tried to call Apple tech support and because my warranty is expired, they can't send me a new one.So… Is trying to go to a iphone repair centre my only solution?
