  • For those utilizing the Anti-Clamp tool, the following two actions detail its use to simplify the opening process; otherwise, proceed directly to the instructions three steps further down for a different approach.
  • Refer to the accompanying guide for detailed procedures regarding the Anti-Clamp's operation.
  • To release the Anti-Clamp's arms, move the blue handle in a rearward direction.
  • Position the arms so they extend across the iPhone’s left or right side.
  • Affix two suction cups, one to the front and one to the rear of the iPhone, placing them close to the lower edge, directly above the home button.
  • Apply vacuum by pressing the cups firmly against the surface needing treatment.
  • To improve the Anti-Clamp's grip if the iPhone's exterior feels excessively smooth, apply adhesive tape to the device's surface.

  • Moving the blue handle in a forward direction will engage the locking mechanism for the arms.
  • Rotate the handle fully, completing a 360-degree turn, observing for the initial expansion of the cups.
  • Maintain parallel positioning of the suction cups; should misalignment occur, gently release the suction cups’ grip and reposition the arms.
  • Once sufficient space is created by the Anti-Clamp, slide a prying tool beneath the display.
  • To ensure adequate separation, reposition the handle by 90 degrees.
  • Allow the Anti-Clamp to function and gradually tighten by rotating no more than 90 degrees per increment, pausing several seconds between each rotation to facilitate proper seating.

Step 4 | Opening Procedure

Step 4 image
  • Lacking an Anti-Clamp tool, proceed with the subsequent three steps to utilize a suction handle.
  • Using a hair dryer or iOpener, gently warm the iPhone's lower edge with moderate heat for approximately one minute.
  • Applying heat will loosen the adhesive that holds the display in place, facilitating separation.

Step 5

Step 5 image
  • Removing the 6s Plus display releases a perimeter adhesive strip; replacement adhesive strips should be prepared beforehand if desired. Functionality remains unaffected whether the adhesive is replaced or not.
  • Using a suction cup, secure the lower left portion of the display assembly.
  • 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 substituted for the suction cup. As a last resort, use superglue to secure the suction cup directly to the fractured screen.
