Unplug and power off your phone before starting.

• Apply heat using an iOpener for two minutes, targeting the back cover's bottom edge.
• Alternatively, use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate, but be cautious of overheating: display and internal battery are susceptible to damage.

Excessive force may crack the back cover glass.

• Apply suction cup to phone's back near center of bottom edge.
• For badly cracked displays, apply clear packing tape to aid adhesion.

Super glue can be used as a last resort if other methods fail.

• Pull suction cup with strong force to create gap between back cover and frame.
• Insert opening pick into gap, being careful not to apply excessive pressure.

Multiple attempts may be needed due to tight tolerances.

• Reheat edge with iOpener and reapply suction cup as needed.
• Apply additional heat if gap still cannot be created.

Never apply excessive pressure on the curved corner areas, which may cause the glass panel to crack.

• Slide the pick back and forth along the phone's bottom edge to slice through the adhesive.
• Leave the pick in place to prevent re-adhesion.

Apply heat from an iOpener to the left edge of the back cover for 2 minutes.

Apply a suction cup near the center of the left edge.

• Pull on the suction cup with strong force to create a gap between the back cover and frame.
• Insert the opening pick into the gap, ensuring only the tip is underneath the glass's edge.

Due to tight tolerances, this may take multiple attempts.

• If needed, apply more heat to the edge and try again.
• Alternatively, add a few drops of high concentration (over 90%) isopropyl alcohol into the seam for extra assistance.

Do not apply excessive force with the pick or risk cracking the back cover glass.

Insert the pick further under the glass's edge.

• Tilt the pick downward for full separation of the back cover's adhesive.

Be cautious when navigating the volume button area, as the glass is more prone to cracking.

• Slide a pick along the left phone edge to separate the back cover's adhesive.
• Leave the pick under the left glass edge to prevent resealing of the adhesive.

Avoid overheating the device.

• Apply a heated iOpener to the right edge of the back cover for two minutes.
• Alternatively, use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate, but keep the device away from extreme heat.

Apply a suction cup to the phone's back, near its center right edge.

• Pull on the suction cup with strong force to create a gap between the back cover and frame.
• Insert an opening pick into the gap, tilting it downward as you would at the previous edge.

Slide the pick along the phone's right edge to separate the adhesive.

Do not lift the pick under the glass yet — wait until later.

• The back cover may release other picks as you proceed, letting them fall free. Set aside any released picks.

Leave the bottom edge of the adhesive separate for now to prevent resealing.

Place a iOpener on the top edge of the back cover and heat it for 2 minutes.

Be gentle when handling the curved glass near the corners of the back cover as it may crack easily.

• Start by sliding a pick from the right edge around the top right corner.
• Continue slicing along the top edge, moving leftwards to separate the back cover adhesive completely.
• If the process becomes difficult, stop and reapply heat before resuming.

Slowly lift the back cover and use opening picks to remove remaining adhesive.

• Remove the back cover.

Power on your phone and test all functions before sealing, then power it back down completely before proceeding.

• Use tweezers or fingers to remove any adhesive chunks.
• Apply heat if needed for stubborn adhesive removal.

For custom-cut adhesives, follow specific application instructions.

For double-sided tape, refer to its own reassembly guide.

Remove the motherboard bracket using a Phillips #00 screwdriver.

• Screw: six 4 mm-long screws
• Keep track of each screw and ensure it returns to its original position.

Do not completely remove the motherboard bracket.

• Use a pair of tweezers to gently pull up and unclip the motherboard bracket from the plastic midframe.
• Leave the bracket attached to the wireless charging coil for now.

Hold the motherboard in place with one hand, then gently tilt up the motherboard bracket to access the orange battery connector.

Be cautious when disconnecting the battery connector as nearby small components may be dislodged.

Use a spudger to pry up and release the battery connector.

Use a spudger to carefully release and remove the wireless charging coil connector.

Use a pair of tweezers to gently peel the wireless charging coil away from the device.

• Remove the wireless charging coil.
