Missing component (capacitor?) adjacent to camera connector

Hello!

I dropped my iPhone 5 from ~20m while riding a roller coaster. So I decided to order a new housing and display unit.

During re-assembly I noticed that there was a SMD component missing! Can anyone help me identify that component so I can replace it?

I have tried to start the phone with another old and damaged screen. It turned on!

Maybe the missing component is not nessasary for the phone to work?

I have access to a soldering laboratory with microscopes and the proper soldering equipment. If it's a resistor or a capacitor, I might have it in stock.

I just need to know what kind of component and what value.

Here is some pictures:

The missing part is C298, 6.3v 1.0uF cap, 0201 size.

It's only for filtering power supply of the compass, not a critical part.
