    • Let your iPhone's battery drain below 25% before starting this repair—a charged lithium‑ion battery may catch fire if damaged.

    • Unplug all cables from your phone.

    • Hold the power and either volume button and slide to power off your phone.

    • Glass shards can complicate disassembly—or worse, cause injury. If your phone is cracked, follow this step.

    • Apply strips of packing tape to the cracked glass until it's completely covered—this will help keep the glass contained and allow the suction cup to stick.

    • Make sure there's a single strip of tape (not overlapping) across the bottom edge, big enough for a suction cup to fit on.

    • Only cover the glass itself—don't stick any tape to the frame.

    • Consider wearing safety glasses to protect your eyes from any glass shaken free during the repair.

    • Use a P2 pentalobe screwdriver to remove the two 7.5 mm‑long screws on either side of the charging port.

    • Adhesive secures the back glass to the frame. Heating the glass softens the adhesive, making it easier to separate.

    • Heat an iOpener and lay it on the bottom edge of the back glass for two minutes.

    • Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat the back glass.

    • Improper use of a heat gun can destroy the wireless charging assembly and/or battery—follow the linked instructions carefully.

    • Apply a suction handle to the bottom edge of the back glass, as close to the edge as possible.

    • Pull up on the suction handle with strong, steady force until a gap forms between the back glass and frame.

    • If you're having trouble, apply more heat and try again.

    • Insert the tip of an opening pick into the gap you just created.

    • Slide the opening pick around the perimeter of the back glass to separate all the adhesive securing it.

    • Only insert your pick slightly under the back glass near the top of the left edge. Otherwise, you may damage the wireless charging ribbon cable.

    • At this point, the back glass should be completely separated from the frame. If it feels stuck, go back around the perimeter and separate any remaining adhesive.

    • Flip the back glass over the left edge and use the suction handle to prop it up.

    • Alternatively, you can lay the glass down flat over the left side.

    • Be careful not to damage the exposed battery with your tools during the next few steps.

    • Use a tri‑point Y000 screwdriver to remove the 1.0 mm‑long screw securing the wireless charging connector cover.
