Turns out, there are versions of the iPhone without the camera module, and the Internet is perplexed by the existence of such devices.

Here's why these iPhones do not come equipped with cameras:
According to a Redditor, iPhones without a camera are commonly purchased by specific customers due to work policies. For example, the Singaporean national military service requires trainees to remove their cameras. Another Redditor said that government personnel and employees of oil and gas companies are also frequent customers of this intriguing curio.
In fact, there are vendors specifically offering non-camera iPhones
These services offer conversion kits, allowing users to modify their existing iPhones to comply with workplace policies. They also offer ready-to-use non-camera iPhones at a price.
Apple does not currently plan to manufacture iPhones without cameras in the future, possibly due to a significantly increased manufacturing cost.
