Carefully lift the display assembly—consisting of a glass screen, a plastic bezel, and integrated metal clips—from within the phone's chassis during the subsequent procedures.

Ensure complete removal of the display assembly, irrespective of the chosen tool.

When the glass and plastic layers detach, referencing the initial image for visual guidance, use a plastic opening tool to gently lever the metal clips away from the plastic frame and the phone's metal chassis.

To ensure the phone remains securely closed during reassembly when the display bezel is detached, apply a narrow adhesive strip positioned between the plastic bezel and the glass.

• To simplify the subsequent opening process, the following two steps utilize the Anti-Clamp tool, a custom design; if you do not have this tool, proceed two steps further for an alternative approach.
• Refer to the accompanying manual for detailed procedures regarding Anti-Clamp operation.
• To release the Anti-Clamp's arms, move the blue handle rearward.
• Position the arms so they extend across the left or right side of the iPhone.
• To secure the iPhone for repair, place one suction cup on the front surface, close to the lower edge and directly over the home button, and another suction cup on the rear, in the same relative position.
• Apply vacuum by pressing the cups firmly against the surface needing treatment.
• To improve the Anti-Clamp's grip if the iPhone's exterior is excessively smooth, apply the provided adhesive pad to generate a more textured holding area.

• To secure the arms, advance the blue handle in the direction indicated.
• Rotate the handle fully in a clockwise direction, completing a full 360-degree rotation, observing for the point at which the cups begin to visibly expand.
• Maintain parallel positioning of the suction cups; should slippage occur, gently release the suction and reposition the arms.
• Once sufficient space is created by the Anti-Clamp, slide a separating tool beneath the display panel.
• To ensure adequate separation, reposition the handle by 90 degrees.
• Apply adjustments in increments not exceeding 90 degrees, pausing briefly after each adjustment to allow the Anti-Clamp device and time to facilitate proper seating.

• Securely affix a suction cup to the display surface, positioning it directly over the home button area.
• Ensure the screen's entire surface makes contact with the cup to guarantee a secure seal.

• Securely affix the suction cup to the front panel assembly, positioning it close to the home button.
• Using one hand to secure the iPhone, lift the suction cup vertically to gently create a small gap between the front panel and the rear case, beginning at the home button area.
• Using a plastic opening tool, lift the rear case’s perimeter away from the front panel assembly by carefully levering the edges, simultaneously applying upward force with the suction cup.
• Exercise caution and use steady, even pressure when installing the front panel assembly, as it requires a snugger fit than typically found in similar equipment.

• To detach the suction cup, depress the small plastic projection that maintains the airtight seal.
• Carefully detach the screen from the device using the suction cup.

• Carefully separate the phone's casing to expose the metallic support securing the home button cable.
• To prevent damage to the home button cable and its connector, avoid excessive separation of the phone's housing; maintain slack in the cable, as overextension can cause harm.
• The device's fingerprint recognition feature relies exclusively on the factory-installed home button assembly; replacement with a non-original part will result in a standard home button function, foregoing Touch ID capabilities.
• Employ the pointed end of a screwdriver to carefully apply pressure.Use a plastic pry tool to gently separate.Using tweezers, carefully disengage the bracket.
• For reassembly procedures, proceed with the following two steps later; if you are currently disassembling, bypass these instructions and move directly to Step 12.

To complete reassembly, secure the Touch ID cable bracket by guiding its upper edge between the battery and the Touch ID cable connector, positioning it ahead of the metal tab, then ensuring the bracket’s lower edge engages and locks over the connector.

• Align the bracket's upper edge with the Touch ID cable connector and move it horizontally to the right.
• Position the bracket so it rests on the connector; the side featuring the projecting "leg" will create a small incline, ensuring the opposite edge aligns between the cable connector and the metal tab located close to the battery.Use a plastic pry tool, often referred to as a spudger.Align the component flush with the bracket, then exert slight downward force to secure both the rear and front clasps.

Employ the tool's flattened tip to facilitate reassembly.Use a plastic pry tool, often referred to as a spudger.Secure the Touch ID cable connector by pressing the front bracket firmly into place.

To ensure the bracket sits level against the surface, reposition it by sliding it back over the cable connector if it doesn't seat properly.
