Step 1 | Remove the pentalobe screws
Prior to commencing the repair process, ensure you take the following preparatory steps.
- To mitigate potential hazards, allow the iPhone's internal power source to deplete to a level below 25% capacity.A fully charged lithium-ion battery presents a fire or explosion risk if it sustains accidental physical damage.Deactivate the iPhone's power supply by pressing the power button before commencing any disassembly procedures.
- Utilize a screwdriver to extract the pair of pentalobe screws, each measuring 6.7 mm in length, located along the iPhone's lower edge.

- To maintain the device's original water resistance, either procure replacement sealing components beforehand or exercise extreme caution to prevent moisture ingress during reassembly if the seals are not replaced.
