Before you begin

Prerequisite only guide to compress the adhesive in an iPhone 15 Pro.

Step 1

Press the back glass

⌕

To evenly compress the iPhone and strengthen the bond of the screen to the frame, you need to account for the camera bump.
If you have the iPhone's original box, take the lid and place it on a flat surface.
If you don't have the original box, skip this step for an alternate method.
Place the iPhone screen-side-up in the lid of the box with the camera bump in its recess.
Find something close to the size of the iPhone, but taller than the sides of the box. Stack it on top of the iPhone, followed by a few heavy objects.
Leave the objects in place for at least thirty minutes, ideally overnight.

Step 2

Repair step

⌕

If you don't have the iPhone's original box, follow the these two steps for another method to evenly compress the screen.
Place the iPhone screen-side-down on a soft, flat surface.
Apply tape to the back glass to protect its finish.
Place three layers of coins or similarly thick objects on the tape along the edges of the back glass.
Evenly distribute the coins and make sure they are at least as thick as the camera bump.

Step 3

Repair step

⌕

Stack multiple books or other heavy objects on your iPhone.
The coins may leave an impression on the bottom object, so don't use anything valuable.
Leave the objects in place for at least thirty minutes, ideally overnight.
