I honestly don't know off hand. Guessing you're talking about the rear camera. If you have the parts on hand, I would say try it. The cables may look similar, but they may have different connector sockets. So it's very likely it won't work, but I don't for certain off hand

I suppose, that, if it have different connector sockets it can damage mainboard or camera module. But maybe someone tried it, or know answer on this question. And i don't know anything will it work in iOS for iPhone 5, drivers can affect on it.

I have a couple of these things on my work bench. I'll give it a whirl, and see if I can come up with a definitive answer

Rear camera connector is inverted, one model plugs under logic board and one above.

For front camera the earpiece connector part is different 2 connections vs 4.

Do not try it. I've seen ribbon cables and / or FPC connectors to the part get burnt / melted / damaged by doing so.

For example plugging a 5s charging port into a iPhone 5c. I ended up melting the charging cable at the plug lol.

Funnily enough the charging port still worked when I tried it on iPhone 5s.
