Anleitung

Prepare your phone for disassembly
Vorsicht: Caution 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.
Tape over any cracks
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.

Hinweis: Note Make sure there's a smooth area near the bottom edge that's big enough for a suction cup to stick to.
Mark your opening picks
Hinweis: Note 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.

Hinweis: Note You can also mark the other corners of the pick with different measurements.

Hinweis: Note Alternatively, <a href="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/pQGATIGUbViSB4gB.full" target="_blank">tape a coin to a pick</a> 3 mm from the tip.
Remove the pentalobe screws
Use a P2 pentalobe driver to remove the two 7.7 mm-long screws on either side of the charging port.
Heat the bottom edge
Use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat the bottom edge of the back glass until it's hot to the touch.

Vorsicht: Caution Be careful not to heat the phone hotter than this—the battery is susceptible to heat damage.
Insert an opening pick
Apply a suction handle to the bottom edge of the back glass.

Pull up on the handle with a strong, steady force to create a gap between the back glass and the frame.

Insert the tip of an opening pick into the gap.
Back glass information
Vorsicht: Caution As you slice the adhesive securing the back glass in the next steps, be careful of the following areas:

There's a delicate cable connecting the back glass to the phone, right next to the volume up button. Don't insert your pick here to avoid slicing the cable.

There are multiple spring contacts around the perimeter of the phone. Be extra careful not to insert your pick deeper than suggested in each step to avoid bending these contacts.
Separate the bottom edge adhesive
Vorsicht: Caution Don't insert your opening pick deeper than 5 mm along the bottom edge.

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 re-sealing.
Heat the right edge
Heat the right edge of the back glass until it's hot to the touch.
Separate the bottom right corner adhesive
Vorsicht: Caution Don't insert your pick deeper than 7 mm along the right edge.

Rotate your pick around the bottom right corner and slide it halfway up the right edge or until you feel a hard stop at a clip securing the back glass.

Vorsicht: Caution Don't slice near the volume buttons to avoid damaging the wireless charging cable.

Leave this pick inserted to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
Heat the left edge
Heat the left edge of the back glass until it's hot to the touch.
Separate the left edge adhesive
Vorsicht: Caution Don't insert your pick deeper than 5 mm along the left edge.

Insert a second opening pick at the bottom edge.

Rotate the second pick around the bottom left corner.

Slide this pick up to the top left corner to separate the adhesive.

Leave this pick inserted to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
Heat the top edge
Heat the top edge of the back glass until it's hot to the touch.
Separate the top edge adhesive
Vorsicht: Caution Don't insert your pick deeper than 3 mm along the top edge.

Rotate your second opening pick around the top left corner and slide it to the top right corner to separate the adhesive.

Hinweis: Note You might hear and feel clicks as the top two clips release.

Leave this pick in place to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
Heat the top right corner
Heat the top right corner of the back glass until it's hot to the touch.
Separate the top right corner adhesive
Vorsicht: Caution Don't insert your pick deeper than 4 mm along the right edge.

Rotate the second opening pick around the top right corner and slide it to the volume up button to separate the adhesive.
Swing open the back glass
Gently swing open the back glass to the right of the phone.

Hinweis: Note If the back glass feels stuck, go back around the perimeter to check for missed sections of adhesive or stuck clips.

Rest the back glass against a raised surface so it doesn't strain the cable.
Unfasten the lower connector cover
Hinweis: Note Throughout this repair, <a href="https://www.ifixit.com/en-eu/products/fixmat" target="_blank" class="product-link">keep track of each screw</a> and make sure it goes back exactly where it came from.

Use a tri-point Y000 driver to remove the two 1.3 mm-long screws securing the lower connector cover.
Remove the lower connector cover
Use tweezers to slide the cover toward the top of the phone to unlatch it from the logic board.

Remove the cover.
Step 20
Hold the back glass upright with one hand and rotate the bottom edge to the left to reveal the battery press connector just below the volume buttons.

Use the tip of an opening pick to pry up and disconnect the battery press connector from the logic board.

Hinweis: Note A plus and minus sign is printed on the head of this connector.

Hinweis: Note To reconnect a <a href="https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Recognizing+&+Disconnecting+Cable+Connectors/25629#s70308" target="_blank">press connector</a>, align it over its socket and gently press down on one side until it clicks into place, then press down on the other side. Make sure it sits flat, as the insulating rubber around the sockets might prevent it from connecting fully.
Unfasten the Taptic Engine connector cover
Use your Phillips #000 driver to remove the four screws securing the Taptic Engine and its connector cover:

One 1.4 mm‑long screw

One 1.9 mm‑long screw (larger screw head)

One 1.9 mm‑long screw (smaller screw head)

One 2.1 mm‑long screw
Remove the cover
Use tweezers to remove the Taptic Engine connector cover.

Erinnerung: Reminder During reassembly, orient the cover so that its gold spring contact is closest to the edge of the frame.
Disconnect the Taptic Engine
Use the point of your spudger to pry up and disconnect the Taptic Engine press connector.
Unfasten the Taptic Engine
Use a standoff driver to remove the 3.3 mm screw securing the top left of the Taptic Engine.

Hinweis: Note If you don't have a standoff driver, you may use a thin flathead driver—but be careful not to strip the shallow notches in the screw heads.
Remove the Taptic Engine
Use tweezers or your fingers to remove the Taptic Engine.
