Step 1 | Pentalobe Screws

Step 1 image
  • To prevent potential hazards and damage, ensure the battery's charge level is reduced to less than 25% prior to beginning any disassembly procedures on your iPhone.A lithium-ion battery must be fully charged.A puncture can lead to 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 a Pentalobe screwdriver, detach the two screws, each measuring 3.4 mm, located on both sides of the Lightning port.

Step 2 | Anti-Clamp instructions

  • To simplify the subsequent disassembly, the following actions utilize the Anti-Clamp, a specialized tool; if you do not have this tool, proceed to the instructions three steps further down.
  • Refer to the accompanying guide for detailed procedures regarding Anti-Clamp operation.
  • To release the Anti-Clamp’s arms, move the blue handle in a rearward direction.
  • Position the arms so they extend across the phone's left or right side.
  • Affix two suction cups, one to the front and one to the rear of the iPhone, placing them close to the lower edge, directly above the home button.
  • Apply vacuum by pressing the cups firmly against the surface you intend to work on.
  • To improve the Anti-Clamp's grip on your iPhone if the exterior feels excessively slick, apply adhesive tape to the device's surface.

  • To secure the arms, advance the blue handle in the direction indicated.
  • Rotate the handle fully, completing a 360-degree turn, observing for the initial expansion of the cups.
  • Maintain parallel positioning of the suction cups; should misalignment occur, gently release the suction cups' hold and reposition the arms.
  • Once sufficient space is created by the Anti-Clamp, slide a separation tool beneath the display panel.
  • To ensure adequate separation, reposition the handle by 90 degrees.
  • Apply adjustments in increments of no more than 90 degrees, pausing several seconds after each adjustment to allow the Anti-Clamp device and settling time to take effect.

Step 4 | Opening Procedure

Step 4 image
  • Lacking an Anti-Clamp tool, proceed with the following three steps to utilize a suction handle.
  • Using a hair dryer or iOpener, gently warm the iPhone's bottom edge with moderate heat for approximately one minute.
  • Applying heat will loosen the adhesive that holds the display in place, facilitating separation.

Step 5

Step 5 image
  • Removing the 6s Plus display releases a perimeter adhesive strip; replacement adhesive strips should be prepared beforehand if desired. Functionality remains unaffected whether the adhesive is replaced or not.
  • Using a suction cup, secure its surface to the display assembly's lower left corner.
  • To facilitate suction cup attachment on a severely cracked display, apply a layer of clear packing tape across the damage; as an alternative, a robust adhesive tape can be substituted for the suction cup. Should these methods prove ineffective, secure the suction cup directly to the fractured screen using superglue.
