Ensure the rear glass component is fully detached from the device's surrounding structure; persistent adhesion suggests a need to revisit the edges for complete adhesive removal.
Invert the detached back glass, positioning it over the left lateral edge, and utilize the specialized suction handle to provide temporary support.The suction handle, a tool designed for gripping smooth surfaces, facilitates maintaining the glass's position during subsequent repair steps.As an alternative method for stabilization, carefully place the glass horizontally across the left side of the device.
This alternative placement provides a stable base for the rear glass while allowing access to other components.

Exercise extreme care to prevent injury or harm.Avoid contact between your repair implements and the vulnerable battery.

• Employ a specialized tri-point screwdriver, specifically a Y000 type, for the next step.A single screw, measuring precisely 1.0 millimeters in length, must be unscrewed.This screw's purpose is to fasten the wireless charging connector cover in place.Damage to the battery may occur if proper precautions are not taken during this procedure.

Detach the protective housing.

• Employing the tip of a spudger, carefully lift and detach the wireless charging press connector.The wireless charging press connector must be disengaged by utilizing the pointed end of a spudger.

• Detach the rear panel of glass.

• Having finished the disassembly process, proceed with the subsequent instructions to reassemble the device.
  Although photographic representations of the reassembly process might exhibit slight variations based on the specific iPhone variant, the outlined procedure remains accurate for all models.

• Employ blunt-nose tweezers, or manually, to detach sizable adhesive fragments from the frame's surface.A spudger is suitable for carefully scraping away the remaining adhesive residue adhered to the frame.Persistent adhesive can be softened by applying warmth with a hair dryer or heat gun, then attempt removal again.
  To facilitate adhesive separation, utilize blunt-nosed tweezers or your fingertips for the initial removal of larger sections.Employing a spudger allows for precise scraping of the adhesive residue that remains on the frame's surface.When encountering difficult-to-remove adhesive, applying heat with a hair dryer or heat gun can aid in its softening and subsequent removal.
  For the purpose of removing substantial adhesive portions, blunt-nose tweezers or direct manual manipulation are appropriate, followed by a spudger for residue.

• To ascertain the correct positioning of the adhesive layer, place it upon the frame's surface, ensuring no protective liners are removed.
  Employ structural elements, such as the rear glass connector indentation, to guide the adhesive's alignment.

1. To reveal a portion of the adhesive, carefully lift the corner tab of the adhesive sheet's liner and remove it, exposing approximately one-third of the adhesive surface.


2. Due to its high tack, the revealed adhesive should remain free from contact with other surfaces until it is properly positioned on the frame.


3. Should your adhesive contain several liners, remove only the uppermost liner to expose the side intended for bonding to the frame.

1. Ensure precise positioning of the adhesive strip's visible perimeter before applying pressure to the frame.
