• Apply heat to the right edge of the back using a hairdryer, heatgun, or an iOpener for about one minute.

Apply a suction handle to the back cover.

• Lift with the suction handle to create a gap between the back cover and the frame of the phone.
• Insert an opening pick into the gap.

If the glass is badly cracked, cover it in packing tape for a surface that the suction cup can adhere to.

• If the adhesive won't budge, apply more heat instead of excessive force. Too much force could break the glass.

Use caution when cutting around the camera bezel and fingerprint sensor area.

• Apply more heat to stubborn adhesives instead of increasing force.
• Cut carefully near the fingerprint sensor to avoid damaging the ribbon cable.

Careful not to damage internal components near the fingerprint sensor or cameras.

• Begin at the center and cut the adhesive up with an opening pick along the right side of the phone.
• Avoid inserting the pick more than halfway when cutting near sensitive areas.

Careful near the corner, glass is weak.

• Apply more heat if the adhesive sticks.

Place an opening pick in the upper-right corner.

• Use another pick to cut the adhesive around the bottom-right corner.
• Leave it in the phone.

Apply heat to the left side of the rear panel using a heat gun, hair dryer, or an iOpener for 3 minutes.

Careful handling around corners is crucial due to weakened glass.

• Insert an opening pick into the lower-left corner of the rear panel.
• Using another opening pick, carefully cut adhesive along the left edge, avoiding the fingerprint sensor area where the ribbon cable is located.

Opening picks can fall out as separation progresses; this is normal.

Insert the opening pick into the upper-left corner of the rear panel.

• Use the pick to carefully cut the adhesive in this area.
• Finish cutting along the top edge of the phone, using an iOpener, hair dryer or heat gun as needed to soften the adhesive.

Separate the right side of the rear cover.

• Tilt the cover up along the left edge to expose the fingerprint sensor ribbon cable.
• Do not pull out the fingerprint sensor ribbon cable yet.
• The fingerprint sensor cover might stay attached to the midframe.

Remove the wireless charging coil from the battery, starting at the left side.

The adhesive is weak and may require an opening pick to separate.

• During reassembly, snap the midframe into place first.
• Then adhere the wireless charging coil in its original position.

• Peel the wireless charging coil's upper-left corner from the upper midframe using a tweezers.

Apply even heat to avoid damage to the wireless charging coil and surrounding components.

• Preheat an iOpener, hair dryer, or heat gun.
• Position the preheated tool on the area covering the remaining corner of the wireless charging coil.
• Hold the tool in place for about a minute to soften the adhesive.
