• To prevent potential hazards and damage, ensure the battery's charge level is reduced to less than 25% prior to beginning the disassembly process.A lithium-ion battery must be fully charged.Accidental puncture presents a fire and/or explosion hazard.
• To prevent electrical shock or damage, ensure the iPhone is completely de-energized prior to starting the repair process.
• Using a Pentalobe screwdriver with a 3.4 mm bit, detach the two screws located on the lower edge of the device, positioned on both sides of the Lightning connector.

• To mitigate the risk of additional shattering and potential injury while repairing a cracked display, secure the glass with tape.
• Apply multiple layers of transparent packing tape across the iPhone screen, ensuring complete coverage to secure any fragmented glass and maintain stability during the display separation process.
• To safeguard your vision, always use safety glasses while performing this repair, as fragments of glass may become dislodged.
• Should the damaged glass prevent a secure suction cup attachment during subsequent procedures, utilize a folded section of durable tape—like duct tape—to create a lifting handle for the display.

To simplify the opening process, the following two steps utilize the Anti-Clamp tool, a custom-designed aid; if you do not have this tool, proceed to the instructions three steps further down.

Refer to the included guide for detailed procedures regarding Anti-Clamp operation.

• To release the Anti-Clamp's arms, move the blue handle in a rearward direction.
• Position the arms so they extend past either the left or right side of the iPhone.
• Affix one suction cup to the front surface of the iPhone, close to the lower edge and directly over the home button, and secure a second suction cup to the rear surface in the same relative position.
• Apply vacuum to the targeted region by pressing the cups firmly against each other.
• To enhance the Anti-Clamp's grip if the iPhone's exterior feels excessively smooth, apply adhesive tape to the device's surface.

• To secure the arms, advance the blue handle in the direction indicated.
• Rotate the handle a full 360 degrees, observing the cups as they expand; maintain their parallel alignment. Should the cups become misaligned, gently release the suction and reposition the arms to restore proper alignment.
• Once sufficient space is created by the Anti-Clamp, slide a prying tool beneath the display panel.
• To ensure adequate separation, incrementally adjust the handle by 90 degrees, pausing for several seconds after each adjustment; avoid exceeding a 90-degree rotation per increment, allowing the Anti-Clamp to function effectively.

• Ensure availability of a 3/8-inch socket wrench for this step.Employ a clamping prevention measure.To operate the suction handle, proceed with the subsequent three actions.
• Using a heat gun or hairdryer set to a low temperature, gently warm the bottom edge of the iPhone's casing.Use a specialized device called an iOpener.Apply heat with a hairdryer, maintaining its proximity, for approximately 60 seconds.
• Applying heat will loosen the adhesive that holds the display in place, facilitating separation.

Removing the 6s display involves releasing a perimeter adhesive strip. Replacement adhesive strips are recommended for this process; however, the repair can be performed without them, and operational performance should remain unaffected.

• Securely attach a suction cup to the display assembly's lower left corner.
• Avoid positioning the suction cup directly atop the sensor.Press the front panel's central control to activate the device's main menu..
• To facilitate suction cup attachment when the display has severe cracking, apply a sheet of clear packing tape across the damaged area; as an alternative, a robust adhesive tape can be used in place of the suction cup. As a last resort, secure the suction cup directly to the fractured screen with superglue.

Apply steady, even force to lift the suction cup, generating a small separation between the front panel and the rear case.

Exercise caution and use steady, even pressure during installation; the display unit's fit is considerably snugger than typical device components and secured with adhesive.

To avoid display assembly damage, use only the necessary force to separate the display assembly from the rear case, creating a slight space.

To resolve potential issues, apply warmth to the device's front surface with a heat source.Use the iOpener.Apply heat from a hair dryer or heat gun to the display's edges until the surface reaches a temperature just beyond comfortable touch, which facilitates loosening of the adhesive bond.

Carefully start separating the phone's casing by inserting a prying tool into the indentation located on the bottom of the display, directly above the headphone jack.

Using a spudger, insert the flat end into the separation between the display and the back cover, positioning it immediately over the headphone jack.
