  • To ensure optimal performance during the repair process, fully deplete the iPhone's battery until it registers as having less than 25% remaining.A lithium-ion battery must be fully charged.A puncture can result in combustion and/or a forceful rupture.
  • To prevent electrical shock or damage to components, ensure the iPhone is completely de-energized prior to starting the repair process.
  • Using appropriate tools, detach the two pentalobe screws, each measuring 6.7 mm in length, located along the iPhone's lower border.
  • Removing the display assembly will damage the iPhone's water resistance; ensure replacement seals are available for installation before continuing, or prevent moisture contact during reassembly if new seals are not used.

Apply warmth to a component using a heat source.Use the iOpener.Carefully guide the thread through the openings in the Anti-Clamp’s arms.
Employing a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate is an alternative, however, exercise caution as excessive heat may compromise the display panel and/or the internal battery.
Carefully bend theUse the iOpener.Position the component along the lower edge of the iPhone.
Allow a full 60 seconds for the adhesive to soften and create a separation.
Using a specialized opening tool, carefully wedge it between the display panel and the surrounding plastic frame, ensuring the tool does not contact the screen surface.
To ensure adequate separation, increase the heat applied to the component and then rotate the handle 90 degrees.
Allow one minute to elapse and avoid rotating the component more than 90 degrees incrementally, permitting the Anti-Clamp device and time to facilitate the process.
Proceed directly to the sequence following these three actions.

Step 7 | Heat the lower edge of the phone

Step 7 image
