  • 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.Accidental puncture presents a fire and/or explosion hazard.
  • To prevent electrical shock or damage, 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.
  • Because removing the display panel will damage the iPhone's water resistance, ensure you have new seals available to install, or exercise extreme caution to prevent moisture contact during reassembly if you choose not to replace them.

    To warm the display and/or battery, a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may be employed; however, exercise caution as excessive heat poses a risk of damage to these components.
  • 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 trim, ensuring the tool does not contact the screen surface.
  • To ensure adequate separation, increase the heat applied to the component and gently pivot the Anti-Clamp.Grasp firmly.Rotate 90 degrees.
    Allow one minute to elapse and avoid rotating the component more than 90 degrees incrementally, permitting the Anti-Clamp device to function properly.
  • Proceed directly to the sequence following these three actions.

Step 7 | Heat the lower edge of the phone

Step 7 image

Applying heat to the phone's bottom perimeter facilitates display separation by reducing the adhesive's viscosity.
Employ a 5/32-inch hex key to tighten the retaining screw to a torque of 6-8 inch-pounds, ensuring that the adjustment knob is properly seated and avoiding over-tightening which could damage the threads.Employ a hairdryer to apply warm air, maintaining a distance of approximately 6 inches, until the temperature reaches 175°F (80°C), ensuring the nozzle remains clear of any obstructions and observing all safety precautions related to electrical appliances.orApply warmth using a device that generates heat, ensuring the temperature remains consistent and controlled.Alternatively, get ready toUse the iOpener.To loosen the adhesive securing the iPhone, use heat and hold it against the device's bottom edge for approximately one minute.
