Tape over any cracks
- Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPhone's screen until the whole face is covered.
- If you can't get the suction cup to stick in the next few steps, fold a strong piece of tape (such as duct tape) into a handle and lift the screen with that instead.
Screen information
- For easier screen removal in the next steps, note the following:
- There's a plastic bezel on the underside of the screen. Your opening pick will go underneath this bezel.
- There's a seam between the plastic bezel and the display panel. Don't insert your pick here or you'll separate the two.
Heat the bottom edge
Insert an opening pick
- Apply a suction handle to the bottom edge of the phone, while avoiding the very edge of the glass.
- Pull up on the suction cup with firm, constant pressure to create a slight gap between the screen and the frame.
- Insert an opening pick into the gap under the screen's plastic bezel.
Heat the right edge
- Heat the right edge of the iPhone (the edge with the power button) until the screen is slightly too hot to touch.
Separate the right adhesive
- Slide the opening pick around the bottom right corner of the iPhone to separate its adhesive.
- Continue sliding up the right edge of the iPhone until you reach the top right corner.
- Leave the pick in the top right corner before continuing.
