  • To start the repair, ensure the iPhone's battery level is at or below 25% to prevent potential hazards.Ensure the lithium-ion battery is fully charged.A puncture can result in combustion and/or a forceful rupture.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Step 2 | Mark your opening picks

  • To avoid potential damage to your device, ensure the opening pick doesn't extend beyond a safe depth; therefore, mark the pick to indicate this limit.
  • 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.Beginning at the foremost point.

Step 3 | Tape over any cracks

  • To minimize additional damage and protect yourself from injury while working on a cracked iPhone screen, apply 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 eyes from potential glass fragments released during the repair process, always use safety glasses.
  • 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 to raise the screen.
  • As a last resort, apply a small amount of superglue to secure the suction cup to the screen.

  • For those utilizing the Anti-Clamp tool, the following three procedures detail its use to simplify the opening process; otherwise, proceed directly to the three steps that follow for an alternative approach.
  • Refer to the accompanying guide for detailed procedures regarding Anti-Clamp operation.
  • Grasp and extract theEmploy a tool featuring a grip colored blue.To release the arms, rotate the Anti-Clamp in a reverse direction.
  • Position the arms so they extend across the iPhone's left or right side.
  • Secure the iPhone using suction cups, placing one close to the lower front edge and another near the lower back edge.
  • Apply vacuum to the targeted region by pressing the cups firmly against each other.
  • To improve the Anti-Clamp's grip if the iPhone's exterior feels excessively smooth, apply adhesive tape to the device's surface.

  1. Apply heat to the component using a heat gun.Use the iOpener.Carefully guide the thread through the Anti-Clamp's arms; alternatively, apply warmth using a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate, but exercise caution as excessive heat may harm the display or internal battery.
  2. Carefully bend theUse a specialized device designed for electronics disassembly, often referred to as an iOpener.Position the component flush against the lower edge of the iPhone.
    Allow a full 60 seconds for the adhesive to soften and create a separation.
  3. 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's surface.
  4. To ensure adequate separation, increase the heat applied to the component and then rotate the handle 90 degrees.
    Allow one minute to elapse and refrain from rotating the component beyond a 90-degree arc per adjustment; this permits the Anti-Clamp mechanism to function properly and facilitates a secure fit.
  5. Proceed to the step following the sequence of three you were about to complete.

Step 7 | Heat the lower edge of the phone

Step 7 image

Applying warmth to the phone's bottom perimeter loosens the adhesive that holds the screen in place, facilitating display separation.
Apply warmth with a hairdryer or heat gun, or alternatively, use a suitable heat source.Utilize an iOpener.Using gentle, even pressure, hold the heat source against the iPhone's bottom edge for approximately one minute to loosen the adhesive securing the device.

Apply steady, even force to lift the suction cup, generating a small separation between the front panel and the rear case.

  • Using a specialized opening tool, carefully introduce its tip into the separation.
Because the display is secured with a robust, watertight adhesive, separating it requires considerable force. Should you encounter difficulty, apply additional heat and carefully move the screen back and forth to soften the adhesive, allowing for a gap sufficient to accommodate your tool.

Step 10 | Separate the screen adhesive

    Before completely disconnecting the display, be aware that multiple delicate ribbon cables, which are vital connections to the iPhone’s logic board, remain attached.
    To allow hands-free access during the repair process, temporarily support the display using an external object.
    To reassemble, position the display and ensure the top clips are properly aligned, then gently push the top edge until it seats; subsequently, secure the remainder of the display by snapping it into place. Should you encounter resistance, inspect the display's perimeter clips for any bends and correct them as needed.
