Was du brauchst
-
-
Schalte dein iPhone aus, bevor du anfängst.
-
Entferne die beiden 6,7 mm langen Pentalobe Schrauben an der Unterkante des iPhones.
-
-
-
Wenn das Display deines iPhones gesprungen ist, kannst du es mit Klebeband abkleben, damit es nicht weiter zersplittert und du dich nicht daran verletzt.
-
Platziere Klebestreifen überlappend über die gesamte Oberfläche des Displays.
-
Falls der Saugheber in den nächsten Schritten durch das gesplitterte Glas nicht gut anhaftet, empfiehlt es sich, ein Stück starkes Klebeband so zu falten, dass es als Griff benutzt werden kann, um das Display anzuheben.

The included suction cups were stiff and worthless. They would not lift the screen. Also, I tried every type of tape on the screen to help the suction cups stick without success. Heavy duty suction cups were for my bathroom also failed. However, I had an old GoPro mount with some preapplied double sided 3M VSB tape and stuck that on the screen near the bottom. Magic! This method had the added bonus of being able to use a GoPro attachment as a handle to lift the screen, and propped up the screen like a kickstand in step 12.
Very cool! Thanks

My screen was pretty stuck… would not budge. Heated, super glued the suction cup, tried gorilla tape. Ended up doing the GoPro mount with 3M VSB tape method mentioned. Worked great. That 3M tape is the bomb.
If you have flat feeler gauges (for adjusting engine valve tappet clearance, ignition points … old school) the .003 thick goes right in. Work your way up until you can get the pick or supplied pry tool in.
where can I buy 3M VSB plis!!
3M VHB tape is at auto stores and other big box stores, or online.

I used the tweezers that came with the replacement screen and jammed one of them into the glass and that eventually worked. Heating with a blow dryer is also important. The suction cup was helpful in loosening the adhesive for sure, but just not enough to get the display to come out.
-
-
-
Überdecke die Glasscheibe des Displays komplett mit überlappenden Streifen von durchsichtigem Paketband.
-
Wenn das Glas so stark zerbrochen ist, dass der Saugheber in den nächsten Schritten nicht gut haftet, dann versuche ein starkes Klebeband ("Panzerband") zu einem Griff zu falten und so auf die Scheibe zu kleben, dass du sie damit hochziehen kannst.
-
-
-
Drücke den blauen Griff zurück, damit die Arme der Anti-Clamp frei beweglich werden.
-
Schiebe die Arme über die linke Kante des iPhones.
-
Bringe die Saugheber nahe an der Unterkante des Displays an, einen auf der Vorderseite, den anderen auf der Rückseite.
-
Drücke die Saugheber zusammen, so dass sie auf den Oberflächen haften.
-
-
-
Drücke den blauen Griff vorwärts, damit die Arme wieder fest sind.
-
Drehe den Griff eine volle Umdrehung im Uhrzeigersinn, oder bis du merkst, dass sich die Saugheber dehnen.
-
-
-
Erwärme einen iOpener und führe ihn durch die Arme der Anti-Clamp.
-
Forme den iOpener so, dass er auf der Unterkante des iPhones liegt.
-
Warte eine Minute, damit sich der Kleber allmählich ablösen und sich ein Spalt bilden kann.
-
Wenn die Anti-Clamp einen ausreichend breiten Spalt erzeugt hat, setze ein Plektrum unter das Display ein.
-
Überspringe die nächsten drei Schritte.
Please UPDATE THIS STEP to say 'insert the opening pick underneath the PLASTIC FRAME OF THE SCREEN' and not the screen. Way too many people are taking this as the way to do it then posting their screen looks different when it's open when they've actually removed the screen leaving the frame in place. It's not rocket science.
Thanks for the suggestion! We updated this step to clarify that.
-
-
-
Benutze einen Fön oder eine Heißluftpistole oder bereite einen iOpener vor und erwärme damit etwa eine Minute lang die Unterkante des iPhones, um den Kleber darunter aufzuweichen.
An alternative to the Iopener or heat gun is to heat water to EXACTLY 80 degrees F (cooking thermometer is great for this) and pour into a reinforced ziplock type bag. Leave the bag on the screen, but be sure that none of the hot water rests on the zipper portion, as the water is hot enough to soften that seal and leak out on to your device! This meat had is my personal favorite as the heat is distributed very equally and precisely as compared to a heat gun, but is more accessible than the Iopener.
-
-
-
Wenn du einen einzelnen Saugheber verwendest, setzte ihn an der unteren Kante des iPhones auf, aber nicht im gebogenen Bereich des Glases ganz unten.
-
-
-
Ziehe fest und gleichmäßig am Saugheber und erzeuge dadurch einen kleinen Spalt zwischen Frontpanel und Rückgehäuse.
-
Setze ein Plektrum in den Spalt unter dem Display und der Kunstoffblende ein, nicht am Display selbst.
-
-
-
Schiebe das Plektrum um die untere linke Ecke und die linke Kante des iPhones nach oben, und durchtrenne so den Kleber, mit dem das Display befestigt ist.
I think it's important to note that depending on how a screen was damaged, make sure to insert the pic under the black bezel directly under the actual screen. This bezel is a frame around the digitizer. I unknowingly inserted the pic between the bezel and the screen, and separated them both. I did this all the way around the phone. So I basically had to struggle to keep together two different sections of the display assembly because of this mishap, until I removed all the ribbon connectors. It made things much more difficult.

-
-
-
Setze dein Plektrum wieder an der Unterkante des iPhones ein und schiebe es an der rechten Seite nach oben, um den Kleber durchzutrennen.
My replacement screen for the XR has a black rim but it looks pink. Is that normal?
Step 11 says not to insert your pick around the right side to avoid damaging cables, then Step 12 says to insert it on the right side. Help, I'm confused!
Hi there!
Thank you for the feedback! The wording in step 11 was definitely ambiguous, so we have changed it! You only need to avoid the marked spots rather than the right edge.
-
-
-
Schiebe das Plektrum um die obere Ecke des Displays und ziehe das Display gleichzeitig, eventuell mit einer leicht wackelnden Bewegung, nach unten in Richtung Lightning Anschluss.
-
Schiebe das Plektrum zur gegenüberliegenden Ecke und durchtrenne den gesamten restlichen Kleber, mit dem das Display noch befestigt ist.
-
-
-
Öffne das iPhone, indem du das Display von der linken Seite her hochklappst, wie einen Buchdeckel.
-
Lehne das Display gegen einen Gegenstand, damit es abgestützt ist, während du daran arbeitest.
sure looks like the "hinge" is on the right hand side to me.. not left...!
If you leave the suction cup attached to the screen during the “hinging” process, it makes for a very handy holder for the screen until it’s completely detached.

Definitely make sure all three lobes of your tool are aligned before use (it’s a little harder to tell with this style of bit) and apply even and adequate pressure to ensure it grabs as you spin the driver to prevent disfiguring the lobes/slot of the screw head.
Unfortunately my Y000 tool was perhaps not the best fit (tolerance a bit off) in these screws and I ended up stripping out the heads of all three of these. I started to panic but after I sanded the tip of my Y000 bit down a little with super fine grit (1000CW-C) sand paper to flatten the domed tip (visible with macro lens) and give it a bit more bite I was able to remove and reinstall without issue—in fact I had to remove and install them twice since I forgot my adhesive tape during reassembly, so the screws survived and the sanded bit worked.
+1 to above comment. I bought a cheap kit from Amazon and the Y000 screw driver is not good for this job. I’m concerned that I may have disfigured the heads and i type this comment in the midst of my fix :D Be gentle and assess if you can remove at least one screw with your driver before rummaging through all three and other similar screws holding display connector as well.
Update to above comment. I got hold of a Y0.8 screw driver bit (lucky to find an ORIA screw driver kit in my office) and it works like wonders :) Now back to work…

I’m not sure it makes much if any difference, but we went ahead and swapped the order for you guys. Thanks for your comments!
I just repaired another XR, and you are right! It doesn’t make any differnerce in the order these screws come out. I still damaged this fragile piece. As I work on more of these, I’ll figure out a way to remove this screw without damaging the clip. For now everyone, just use extra caution when removing the 1.3mm phillips screw! Thanks Jeff
I’ve now done at least 6 of these so far and I have fairly consistent good results by taking the 2 Philips head screws out first, then doing the Y screws.

Is this piece important for the repair if broken? I have broken it on a home repair. What is it used for? Is it a grounding connection or is it completely unimportant. More information needed please
I’m wondering that too. Is this piece important?
I can confirm that taking out the 1.3 mm screw first then the 1.5 mm screw works the best. If done correctly, you should be able to to remove the rest of the screws and pull the panel off with the clip still attached to the panel. For reassembly, start with the 1.5 mm screw then the 1.3 mm screw.
I don’t remove the small screw at all. I just slide out the metal cover plate and slide back in to reassemble.
this is what i have done as well. Care is still needed to avoid damaging this part. However, it is seemingly far less prone to damage or loss and thus less risky for this repair process.
I too broke this shield. In looking over this problem I believe it’s best to loosen, but not remove, either screw first then the other. To be clear, loosen the red or yellow screw but only just to break it free, then the second screw. Then remove both and the others and the shield should remain in one piece. I put it back with the broken part (on the red screw) and made sure the two are in contact so there’s conductivity as these shields serve a purpose other than just holding in connectors. My phone works fine with this fix.
Is this small bracket important if broken??
Mine is broken
Mine is broken and my apple pay doesn’t work. Something to do with NFC antenna this little clip??
I'm guessing so. I replaced a screen on a phone I bought from a friend. I noticed this bracket was broken when I disassembled the phone but didn't think much of it. When I reassembled it my NFC also does not work. Bummer. A lot of people in these comments have asked if it is crucial that this bracket be connected. Can someone from iFixit or other please reply to those comments?
Kyaw-Zin is right because the shield contains of two tin parts. But there is another option:
1. Unscrew the yellow and orange screws first.
2. Lift the shield gently that it can turn about 20° anticlockwise.
3. Open the red screw and let the shield turn with it the first degrees.
The first time I did this repair, I didn’t see the comments ahead of time and broke the bracket, even removing the 1.3mm screws first. The second time I did the repair, I was prepared and being extra careful, but the simple act of turning the 1.3mm screw head was enough to break it. If I ever have to do this repair again, I’ll just leave the screw in and try to slide the plate out with the screw (and bracket, hopefully) still in tact, as per Kyaw-Zin Win.
None of the screw driver bits I got fits the 1.3mm and 1.5mm screws. How do I remove them?
Same issue as above. The bits provided in the kit do not work with the 1.3mm and 1.5mm screws
Further to above comment about bit not working. Had to go and purchase another PH000 from Home Depot and that worked
I’ve broken that little bracket attached to the red screw. Is it important and can I get a replacement????? Thanks all
Broken the clip. Is this important??
Don't remove the 1.3 Phillips screw! Twisting this screw will break the smaller bracket that is clipped to the larger. Remove all the other screws. Block the smaller bracket from moving as you gently slide the larger bracket horizontally toward the battery until free. The smaller bracket can stay in place while the screen is replaced. When reassembling, support the small bracket by backing with a spudger or similar tool.
I just broke the smaller bracket also :( I didn´t notice these comments until now :(
It looks like part of the antenna for NFC, as all except NFC works on my iPhone now.
It should be repairable using some wire wrap wire, either twisted around the two screws that connected that part of the bracket (or soldered in place). I will try and report back if it works.
Success!! I managed to re-construct the small arm of the bracket by screwing the 1.3mm screw back in with some 0.3mm enamel wire soldered into what was left of the small bracket arm on the screw, then the other end of the enamel wire I wrapped under the 1.5 wire screw's head (enamel exposed to bare metal), then screwed both screws down. also I lifted up the small metal arm with a screw driver (to make sure it reconnects with the display grounding square) ..and NFC worked again (slightly different antenna pattern mind (need to place cards slightly higher up the rear of the phone). Anyway works again :)

During testing, make sure your proximity sensor is not on upside down, as it’s easy to connect upside down. Your phone will boot loop if it’s on incorrectly.

unclear if this is where screen removal ends
I had the same question, but the answer is yes. Steps 21-30 are removing parts from the original screen that need to be reattached onto the new screen. You are no longer working inside the frame, but on the back of the screen itself.
I apologize for missing these comments initially, but yes that’s correct, the screen is removed now and the rest of the guide goes on to other parts, either in the phone or on the back of the screen. Good luck with the repair!
The alternate method of removing the battery should be highlighted as a standard option. There is so much more work and potential to damage the parts than if you left them in place and carefully with plenty of heat remove the battery. I so wish I had seen this before!

if I replace the logic board will it remove a iCloud lock??????
TL;DR: Yes, it should but…
All of the phone’s memory is stored on the NAND flash memory with is soldered to the logic board. Replacing the iCloud-locked logic board with a logic board from a phone that does not have an iCloud lock will technically remove the lock.
A terrible analogy would be like if you had had a tumor (iCloud lock) in your brain (MLB) so your surgeon (you, the technician) performed a brain transplant. Replacing the brain would indeed get rid of the tumor. However, your body (The phone’s housing) would just become the person of whose brain was transplanted into your body.
The only true way to remove an iCloud lock is to obtain the Apple ID & Apple ID password of the original owner.
You just have to try to find a good logic board and trust that the seller is legit. (Easier said than done)
This guide was more intended for those that are attempting micro-soldering repairs. However, you can use the guide for whatever you need. :-)
If i chanfe the logic board do i also have to swap the facial scan like the fingerprints on the prior iphone or all i gotta do is swap the boards
Great question! From what I’ve experienced, the Face ID hardware is similar to touch ID hardware in that it is tied to the phone’s logic board. However, FaceID does seem a little more forgiving. The phone I’m currently using is an iPhone X that was severely damaged. I bought it off a customer and installed a new screen but Face ID did not work. A couple months later, I was using an app that made use of face ID hardware for facial recognition and mapping. I thought it wouldn’t work since FaceID wasn’t working on my phone. To my surprise, it worked just fine. I then tried setting up FaceID and it was able to activate and capture my face.
If you’re looking to refurbish a phone, assume FaceId won’t work without the original hardware. However, your milage may vary.
Does the camera work even the face I'd doesn't work ?
From what I’ve seen, yes it does. However, your milage may vary. Make sure you check to see if your cameras are good before you replacing/repairing the logic board. I’ve already had an iPhone XS where the cameras and flashlight stopped working. Replacing the iSight camera seemed to do the trick.
Front camera will function as normal, but no Face ID

Hello.. I have a question,
I have been done replace the logicboard, when I test camera with potrait mode front camera doesn’t working properly, the picture is very dark and when I move my body or face the my picture in camera it’s very slow and lagy. It’s is normal issue sir if we swap the logicboard ???
And I found one issue again with the battery it show “Important Battery Message” and unable to verify, the battery health show service.
How to solve this issue sir? Many Thanks Before
Article regarding the battery: https://www.ifixit.com/News/apple-is-loc...
Have you tried reinstalling iOS? Be sure to backup your data first, as you will probably have to erase the phone. Let me know if that helps.
What could be the issue on my XR the restarts randomly… It takes several attempts to boot normally. But when I opened any app, the phone shuts down again. There are panic-full logs in the data analytics logs. Factory reset, IOS restoration and DFU did not help. Any idea? TIA
Unfortunately, it would be a shorter list if I told you what was unlikely to cause the iPhone XR to randomly reboot. Hopefully you have a computer or iCloud backup of the phone because I would suggest getting a different phone or talking to Apple. If data is needed, talk to a data recovery specialist like iPad Rehab. (Don’t expect Apple to even attempt to save your data).
Hello, thanks for this helpful guide! Where can I get a replacement logic board?
I’m glad you found the guide helpful! There’s no magic shop to order a replacement logic board. If you can’t find one pre-vetted from a site like iFixit, you’ll have to try your luck with a resale site like eBay. I wish Apple was more open to repair and sold parts direct to consumers and shops. Then again, I also wish I had a pile of gold lol.
The different types of screws are denoted by color for each step. The size in millimeters give you the length of the screw measured by a digital caliper. Screw type is distinguished by the head of the screw. (Phillips #000)
@ipoint The guide was made to show how to remove the logic board, in which is accomplishes. It was mainly intended as a reference for anyone wanting to fix the board itself via micro soldering. Feel free to use this guide to make your own guide on swapping FaceID hardware. It seems like you could use the reputation points anyways.
These guides are awesome! Just a little comment on terminology…
In step 27 - “Disconnect the remaining Front Panel Connectors.” The front panel has already been removed. FPC stands for Flexible Plastic Connectors. An alternative acronym is FFC which stands for Flat Flexible Connectors.

Do you Have motherboard for iphone xr and iphone 7 and iphone xs
One of my gaskets was as shown in your second photo, the other had been worked into the threads (as if smeared) probably from the factory and was completely unusable.
In place of replacements (unsure of where to purchase) I just used a clear silicone caulking on both screws upon reassembly to offer at least some water seal. I wish these gaskets were included with the gasket waterproofing sealant kit!
Erica - Antwort
Is there any place to buy these screw gaskets? I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere but one of mine was pretty much chewed up. Silicone should work but I’d prefer the oem solution.
Chilinh Nguyen - Antwort
I found a place on Amazon that sells them. It's cheapest to get a full set of screws than to get just these. $5-$6 USD.
