Guide overview

Before you begin

Prerequisite only guide to install the ambient light sensor in an iPhone 15 Pro.

Step 1

Prepare the ambient light sensor

  • Use tweezers to reposition any adhesive that may have covered the ambient light sensor during removal. The adhesive should form a border around the raised white rectangle.
  • If the adhesive was damaged or stayed with the old screen, replace it with a 1 mm‑wide strip of thin, double-sided tape along its bottom border.
Step 2

Place the ambient light sensor

  • Align the ambient light sensor with its recess in the back of the screen.
  • Use a spudger or your finger to place the ambient light sensor into its recess.
Step 3

Press the ambient light sensor

  • Use a hair dryer or heat gun to soften the adhesive under the ambient light sensor and its cable. It only needs to be warm—not hot.
  • Use your finger to press down the ambient light sensor cable.
  • If the ambient light sensor cable isn't sticking, apply a few small pieces of thin, double‑sided tape like Tesa tape to the back of the sensor cable.
Step 4

Install the ambient light sensor bracket

  • Use tweezers or your fingers to place the ambient light sensor bracket, foam side down, aligned with its screw holes.
  • Use a Phillips screwdriver to install the two 1.4 mm‑long screws securing the ambient light sensor bracket.
