Passo 1

Allow your phone's battery to drain below 25%, as a charged lithium-ion battery is a potential safety hazard.
Unplug any cables from your phone.
Hold the power and either volume buttons and slide to power off your phone.

Passo 2

If your screen or back glass is badly cracked, lay overlapping strips of packing tape over the glass to protect yourself and make disassembly easier.
Make sure there's a smooth area near the bottom edge that's big enough for a suction cup to stick to.

Passo 3

If inserted too far, an opening pick can damage your device. Follow this step to mark your pick and prevent damage.
Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark the opening pick with a permanent marker.
You can also mark the other corners of the pick with different measurements.
Alternatively, tape a coin to a pick 3 mm from the tip.

Passo 4

Use a P2 pentalobe driver to remove the two 7.7 mm-long screws on either side of the USB-C port.

Passo 5

Apply a heated iOpener to the bottom edge of the screen for two minutes.
Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat the bottom edge of the screen until it's hot to the touch.
Be careful not to heat the phone hotter than this—the battery is susceptible to heat damage.

Passo 6

Apply a suction handle to the bottom edge of the screen, above the USB-C port.
Pull up on the handle with a strong, steady force to create a gap between the screen and the frame.
Insert the tip of an opening pick into the gap.

Passo 7

As you slice the adhesive securing the screen in the next eight steps, don't insert your pick deeper than 3 mm to avoid damaging the following areas:
Two delicate cables connecting the screen to the phone—one just above the Action button and the other about halfway between the volume down button and the bottom of the phone.
Multiple spring contacts around the perimeter of the phone.

Passo 8

Don't insert your pick deeper than 3 mm to avoid damaging the spring contacts.
Slide your pick back and forth along the bottom edge to separate the adhesive.
Leave your pick inserted in the bottom right corner to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

Passo 9

Apply a heated iOpener to the right edge of the screen for two minutes.
When using a hair dryer or heat gun, heat the screen until it's hot to the touch.

Passo 10

Don't insert your pick deeper than 3 mm to avoid damaging the spring contacts.
Slide your opening pick around the bottom right corner and up the right edge of the screen to separate the adhesive and release the metal clip.
You'll hear and feel the metal clip release as you pass it.

Passo 11

Apply a heated iOpener to the top edge of the screen for two minutes.
When using a hair dryer or heat gun, heat until it's hot to the touch.

Passo 12

Don't insert your pick deeper than 3 mm to avoid damaging the spring contacts.
Continue sliding your pick around the top right corner and across the top edge to separate the adhesive and release the two metal clips.

Passo 13

Apply a heated iOpener to the left edge of the screen for two minutes.
When using a hair dryer or heat gun, heat until it's hot to the touch.

Passo 14

Don't insert your pick deeper than 3 mm to avoid damaging the screen cables and the spring contacts.
Slide the opening pick down the left edge of the screen to separate the remaining adhesive and release the last two metal clips.

Passo 15

At this point, the screen should be free from the frame. If the screen feels stuck, go back around the perimeter with your pick to check for missed sections of adhesive or stuck clips.
Swing open the screen over the left edge of the phone and support it with a clean, sturdy object.

Passo 16

Use a tri-point Y000 driver to remove the 0.9 mm‑long screw securing the front sensor connector cover.
Use a tri-point Y000 driver to remove the 1 mm‑long screw securing the screen connector cover.

Passo 17

Use tweezers or your fingers to lift the front sensor cover to a 90-degree angle and unhook it from its slot in the logic board.
Lift the cover out of its slot and remove it.
Repeat this process for the screen connector cover.

Passo 18

Use the tip of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the screen press connector.
Repeat this process for the front sensor press connector.

Passo 19

Lift the screen off of the frame and remove it.
Be careful not to damage any of the spring contacts.

Passo 20

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the 1.3 mm‑long screw securing the ambient light sensor bracket.
Use a pair of tweezers or your fingers to lift and remove the ambient light sensor bracket.

Passo 21

Use a hair dryer, heat gun, or heated iOpener to soften the adhesive under the ambient light sensor and ambient light sensor cable.
Use an opening pick to pry up the ambient light sensor.

Passo 22

Gently slide an opening pick under the ambient light sensor cable, starting near the sensor and moving towards to the opposite corner.
If the adhesive doesn't peel up easily, apply more heat.

Passo 23

Continue slowly sliding the opening pick under the ambient light sensor cable until the cable is free from the screen.
Use a pair of tweezers to lift the ambient light sensor off of the screen.

Conclusão

To reassemble your phone, follow this guide to reapply adhesive and install your screen.

After your repair, calibrate a genuine replacement screen using Apple's Repair Assistant. Navigate to Settings → General → About → Parts & Service History, tap Restart & Finish Repair, and follow the onscreen prompts.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.
