Guide overview

Before you begin

Use this guide to replace a broken, cracked, or non-responsive screen on your iPhone 15 Pro. You'll need replacement screen adhesive to complete this repair. Note: Due to Apple's parts pairing restrictions, on iOS 17.6 and earlier, True Tone and auto brightness are disabled after a screen replacement, even when using an original Apple screen. On newer iOS versions, these features may be restored automatically. If you're using an original Apple screen, you can use Repair Assistant to calibrate it with your iPhone.
