• 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 you have replacement seals available for installation before continuing, or exercise extreme caution to prevent liquid ingress during reassembly if you choose not to replace the seals.

• To avoid potential damage to your device, ensure the opening pick doesn't extend beyond a safe depth; therefore, mark the pick to serve as a visual reference for proper insertion.
• Determine the dimension using an appropriate measuring tool.Three millimeters.Using a permanent marker, clearly indicate the opening point on the pick.
• Alternative corner markings, using the same measurement tools, can be applied to the remaining corners of the pick.
• Securely affix a coin to the tip of a pick using adhesive tape.Three millimeters.Commence measurement from the foremost point.

• To minimize additional damage and potential injury while repairing a cracked iPhone screen, apply strong tape across the affected glass area.
• Apply strips of transparent packing tape across the iPhone screen, ensuring complete coverage by layering them until the entire display surface is protected.
• To safeguard your vision, always use safety glasses while working, as fragments of glass may become dislodged.
• Should the suction cup fail to adhere during the subsequent procedures, create a handle by folding a durable tape—like duct tape—and use this improvised handle to raise the screen.
• As a last resort, apply a small amount of superglue to secure the suction cup directly to the display surface.

• For those utilizing the Anti-Clamp tool—developed to simplify the subsequent opening process—proceed with the following three instructions. Otherwise, bypass these steps and follow the alternative procedure detailed three steps later.
• Refer to the accompanying guide for detailed procedures regarding the Anti-Clamp's operation.
• Grasp and extract theThe component is identified by a blue handle.To release the Anti-Clamp's arms, move them in the reverse direction.
