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 7.2 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 screen 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 screen.

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.
Screen information
Vorsicht: Caution As you slice the adhesive securing the screen in the next steps, be careful of the following areas:

There are two delicate cables connecting the screen to the phone: one just above the action button, and the other near the middle of the left edge.

There are multiple spring contacts around the perimeter of the phone. Be extra careful not to insert your pick deeper than suggested in these locations to avoid bending the contacts.
Separate the bottom edge adhesive
Vorsicht: Caution Don't insert your opening pick deeper than 3 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 screen until it's hot to the touch.
Position the opening pick
Vorsicht: Caution Don't insert your pick deeper than 5 mm along the right edge.

Slide your pick around the bottom right corner of the screen and toward the power button until you feel a hard stop at a clip securing the screen.

Rotate your pick so the flat edge is under the screen.
Release the right clip
Twist the pick to increase the gap between the screen and the frame until the right clip releases.

Insert a second opening pick to the right of the first pick.
Separate the right edge adhesive
Slide the first pick back to the bottom right corner of the screen.

Slide the second pick to the top right corner of the screen to separate the adhesive.

Leave these picks inserted to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
Heat the top edge
Heat the top edge of the screen 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.

Slide your pick around the top right corner and along the top edge to release the two clips and adhesive securing it.
Heat the left edge
Heat the left edge of the screen until it's hot to the touch.
Separate the left edge adhesive
Vorsicht: Caution Don't insert your pick deeper than 2 mm along the left edge to avoid the <a href="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/QXhBuOBJJOa41ccu.huge" target="_blank">two cables connecting the screen to the phone</a>.

Rotate your pick around the top left corner of the screen.

Slide your pick to the bottom left corner of the screen to separate the adhesive.
Swing open the screen
Gently swing open the screen to the left of the phone.

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

Rest the screen against a box or similar object so it doesn't strain the cables.
Unfasten the logic board 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 six screws securing the logic board cover:

One 2.1 mm‑long screw

Five 1.5 mm‑long screws
Remove the logic board cover
Use tweezers or your fingers to grab and slide the logic board cover toward the bottom of the phone to clear the sensor cable.

Remove the cover.
Disconnect the battery
Use the tip of an opening pick to pry up and disconnect the battery press 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.
Disconnect the ambient light sensor
Use the point of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the ambient light sensor press connector from the top left of the logic board.
Disconnect the screen
Disconnect the screen press connector.
Remove the screen
Remove the screen.

Erinnerung: Reminder During reassembly, stop here and <a href="https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPhone+Display+Adhesive+Replacement/93983" target="_blank">use this guide</a> to install new screen adhesive.

Vorsicht: Caution Be careful not to damage any of the <a href="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/RHTxaTCxnIhVamNb.huge" target="_blank">spring contacts</a> as you clean the frame.
Unfasten the loudspeaker
Use your Phillips #000 driver to remove the four screws securing the loudspeaker:

Three 2.1 mm screws

One 2.9 mm screw
Separate the tape
Hinweis: Note <a href="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/erMtOwhB6vNwdJjx.huge" target="_blank">A piece of tape</a> connects the top edges of the Taptic Engine and loudspeaker.

Insert an opening pick under the tape in the small gap between the Taptic Engine and the loudspeaker.

Slide the pick toward the left edge of the phone to separate the tape from the Taptic Engine.
Remove the loudspeaker
Insert the flat end of a spudger between the right edge of the loudspeaker and the frame.

Pry up until you can grab the loudspeaker with your fingers.

Remove the loudspeaker.
Disconnect the Taptic Engine
Use the tip of your spudger to pry up and disconnect the Taptic Engine press connector.
Remove the grounding clip
Remove the two screws securing the grounding clip:

One 1.2 mm Phillips #000 screw

One 1.9 mm tri-point Y000 screw

Use tweezers to remove the grounding clip.
Unfasten the Taptic Engine
Remove the two screws securing the Taptic Engine:

One 2.9 mm Phillips #000 screw

One 3.8 mm standoff screw

Hinweis: Note If you don't have a <a href="https://www.ifixit.com/en-eu/products/standoff-screwdriver-for-iphones" target="_blank" class="product-link">standoff driver</a>, you may use a thin flathead driver—but be careful not to strip the shallow notches in the screw heads.
Remove the Taptic Engine
Insert the flat end of a spudger between the left edge of the Taptic Engine and the frame.

Pry up until you can grab the Taptic Engine with your fingers.
