Introduction

As a fan of iFixit, I wonder why not translate some tutorial for iOS device at iFixit, so I produced this one. I hope you like it, and there will be more for everybody.

    • Before we start, please make sure your iPhone has been turned off.

    • Now you can unscrew the two star-shaped screws next to the charging interface

    • Put a small suction cup above the home button to hold the screen glass.

    • Make sure your suction cup sucks tight enough!

  3. cJ5VdS1EtATTBX6P
    • Pinch the suction cup in one hand and carefully lift the screen assembly.

    • Through the attractive body of the iPhone 5 we can guess that the assembly of the screen and the fuselage fit more compact, so you need a slightly larger force for the screen from the fuselage.

    • As there are some clips that hold the screen, you must use the plastic ignition tool shown in the illustration.

    • Slowly lift the buckle along the fuselage with a plastic ignition tool.

    • Once buckle is open, you can move screen by pulling the suction cup.

    • Be careful, there are cables behind the screen, so do not remove whole screen at this moment.

    • Hold the camera side and then pull the screen to make a V shape, but still do not disconnect with the mainboard.

    • You may now see components inside iPhone 5.
