Step 1 | Pentalobe Screws

Prior to commencing the repair process:

Ensure your iPhone's battery is depleted to a level below 25%; a fully charged lithium-ion battery presents a fire hazard and potential explosion risk if it sustains accidental physical damage.
Deactivate your iPhone by powering it down before you start taking it apart.
Detach the pair of pentalobe screws, each measuring 6.9 mm in length, located along the iPhone's lower edge.
Should the screws exhibit signs of damage or stripping, substitute them with replacements.

Separating the iPhone's display assembly will irreversibly damage its water resistance capabilities. Acquire replacement waterproof seals beforehand if you intend to proceed beyond this stage, or exercise extreme caution to prevent moisture ingress during reassembly if you choose not to replace the seals.
