iPhone 6s Plus Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Antenna Replacement

• To prevent potential hazards and damage, ensure the battery's charge level is reduced to less than 25% prior to beginning the disassembly process.Ensure the battery is fully charged.A puncture can result in combustion and/or a forceful rupture.
• To prevent electrical shock or damage, ensure the iPhone is completely de-energized prior to starting the repair process.
• Using a Pentalobe screwdriver, detach the two screws, each measuring 3.4 mm, located on both sides of the Lightning port.

• To simplify the subsequent opening process, the following instructions 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 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 either the left or right side of the iPhone.
• 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 you intend to work on.
• To improve 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 its direction.
• 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 device to function and permit several seconds of inactivity following each incremental adjustment, limiting each rotation to a maximum of 90 degrees.

• Lacking an Anti-Clamp tool, proceed with the subsequent three steps to utilize a suction handle.
• Using either an iOpener or a hair dryer, gently warm the bottom edge of the iPhone's casing with moderate heat for approximately 60 seconds.
• Applying heat will loosen the adhesive bonds holding the display in place, facilitating separation.

• 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 a display exhibits 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. Should neither of these methods prove effective, secure the suction cup directly to the fractured screen using superglue.

• Apply steady, even force to lift the suction cup, generating a small separation between the front panel and the rear case.
• To avoid display assembly damage, use only the minimum force necessary to separate the display assembly from the rear case, creating a slight opening.

• To avoid damage, begin separating the front panel by gently inserting a prying tool into the indentation located directly over the headphone jack.
• Using consistent suction cup pressure, carefully slide the spudger's flat tip into the separation between components, positioning it directly over the headphone jack.

  Carefully avoid detaching the display assembly entirely, as doing so risks harming the delicate data cables located along the iPhone's upper edge.

• To detach the suction cup, lift the small protrusion located on its surface.

• Using the upper front panel's clips as a pivot point, carefully raise the display assembly to separate the phone's housing.
  Carefully position the display at a roughly 90-degree angle, then secure it in a supported position to prevent movement during the repair process.
  To prevent damage, limit the display's opening angle to a maximum of 90 degrees, as it remains connected to the phone's upper section via the display cable, digitizer cable, and front camera cable—these are susceptible to tearing.
  To avoid stressing the display's wiring during the repair process, secure it with a rubber band.
  As a temporary measure, an unopened standard-sized canned drink can provide the necessary support for the display.
