Insert the pick just a few millimeters near the cameras.

• Slide it around the top right corner, then along the top edge.
• This will help separate the adhesive without damaging the cameras.

Slide the opening pick along the top left corner, then down the left edge of the device.

Remove the back cover using the suction handle.

If still stuck, go around perimeter with an opening pick and separate adhesive.

• Power on phone and test functions before reassembling.

Inspect rear cameras for smudges. If necessary, wipe gently with clean lint-free cloth.

Adhesive will be applied to either frame or back cover. Check cutouts and contours for best alignment.

Use the pointed end of a spudger to carefully pry up and release the wireless charging coil press connector.

Ensure each removed screw is labeled and reinstalled in its original position to avoid damaging your phone.

• Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove ten screws:
• Four 3.5 mm-long screws for the wireless charging coil
• Six 3.5 mm-long screws for the loudspeaker assembly

Apply gentle heat to the two wireless charging coil tabs using a heated iOpener for one minute.

Avoid overheating, which can damage the components.

Avoid puncturing or denting the battery to prevent chemical leaks or fires.

• Use a blunt tool, like a plastic spudger, to avoid damage.
• Apply heat if the tab feels fragile.
• Gently slide the spudger under the top edge of the upper tab and lift slowly to separate it.
• Repeat as needed until the tab fully separates.

Separate the lower tab from the main part, working from the bottom up.

• Insert the point of a spudger into the speaker clip on the right side and gently pry up.
• During reassembly, apply firm pressure around the loudspeaker's perimeter to engage its clips.

Remove the wireless charging and loudspeaker assembly with both hands.

Pry at the correct location shown by the gold arrow to avoid damaging surface-mounted components.

• Identify the corresponding gold arrow on the board for each press connector.
• Use a spudger point to pry up and disconnect the battery press connector.

Use the point of a spudger to pry up the earpiece speaker press connector (uppermost, short connector) at the top right corner of the motherboard.

Remove the earpiece speaker using a Phillips screwdriver.

• Target and loosen the five screws, each measuring 3.5 mm in length.
• Completely remove the screws once they are loose.

Use a spudger point to lift the earpiece speaker by its top left corner until it unclips.

Avoid scratching the cameras with your tool.

• Remove the speaker.
• During reassembly, press firmly around the perimeter of the speaker to engage its clips.

• Avoid smudging the cameras or pressing on surface-mounted components.

• Use the point of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the two press connectors on the USB-C board's top edge.

Avoid damaging small components near the connector.

• Use a pointed spudger to carefully pry out the interconnect cable's press connector, located at the phone's bottom right.

Locate and carefully disconnect the leftmost interconnect cable's press connector using the pointed end of a spudger.

Do not over-pyramid the connector.

• Use a spudger to pry up and disconnect the wide press connector located just right of the previous one.
• Pry only until the connector comes loose, being careful not to damage the holding tape.

Disconnect the leftmost interconnect cable.

Hold the interconnect cable at its thickest point, close to the motherboard.

• Gently pull the cable away from the connector.
• Continue pulling until the cable is free.

Insert the pointed end of a spudger under the screen cable press connector on the motherboard.
