I'm not sure but ,if anyone else wants to learn about repair tools try Saankramer Electronic Magazine System (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my buddy got great results with it.
I disagree. You are going to spend $600 for the screen, true tone won't work, have to take parts off old display, spend about $60 in tools, $10 for adhesive, $10 for the front camera connector. Yeah no thank you for when a display at Apple is $279 and a 90 day warranty. This repair is a total ripoff outside of Apple right now.
This guys are just flawless when it comes to customer service. 😮 I bought this display and the content of the package was once again flawless, the care about even the smallest detail was just spot on. In just one word, PERFECT! Congratulations ifixit! 🎉
Thank you So much! It worked! One issue - your link to the adhesive application is for battery adhesive, not screen adhesive. Otherwise worked perfectly, thanks so much!!!
To regain the True-Tone function, there is a small machine can write the original display serial number to the new screen, that your phone will recognize the new screen as original display. This method works with iPhone8/8 Plus/X/Xs/Xs Max and XR If your iPhone 7 Plus is experiencing bad touch after the display replacement, this machine can do the same procedure that makes everything works smoothly again
You wont lose true tone if you use a lcd data programmer to overwrite the serial number of the lcd. Or you use a copy screen But after iOS 12.3 iphone x and xs screens wont sometimes respond to the touch even with a original screen. So good luck with your “replacment”
The part is paired to the motherboard so a new one won't work. There is am $80 Chinese tool that re pairs them tho. I also think its due to the one sensor being exposed to more light then normal and I've heard a theory that doing it in the dark would allow it to still work but I haven't tested this lol.
There was an adhesive applied on the main phone body - is that to avoid any discharge? Also, once it had been applied, I couldn’t see it when the new screen was reattached. Can anyone explain please?
My screen does not turn on so I am trying to change the screen. I bought a "pro" set of tools for electronics with over 100 parts. I got the two screws out by the charging port and got the screen off. I tried to take some of the screws out like they exhibit in youtube videos. I do not see what bits will work. Theyl do not fit in the screw head. Does anyone know exactly which bit would would work or maybe I am doing something else wrong. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks
Aint it about the authenticity problem? Sansung said that they will put some authenticity checking system, and if it's not authorized it will disable soft buttons and so on.
Seems similar to what they did a couple years back when people tried to switch out the fingerprint sensor. Seems like a petty way to piss off the right to repair folks.
my phone is iPhone Xs fill into the Sea , I go to local shop and they change the screen for me (screen is copy not original). my problem is face ID is not working and the touch screen is very bad. I need to replacement the phone with new phone or how I can fix the Face ID.
Very interesting, I think I might've missed something regarding the earphone jack, does she say that you need to replace it with a new one, or does she use the existing one. It seemed odd that she took it off and put it back on without it interfering with the screen.
Since this is a tutorial, they're most likely just showing the rebuilding process using the same phone since it's probably still in perfect working condition.
I have a question in the screen you are selling for the iPhone XS is there any size difference in the vessels because that’s the only reason why I’m not buying a third party screen
Important thing that this video cleared F’d up on. DO NOT touch the pearl sensor (facial dot projector) that will screw up your iPhone Face ID recognition permanently
The sensor assembly on the back of the display is paired to your iPhone's logic board and must be transferred from your old display to your new one. The sensor assembly includes the flood illuminator, a part of the Face ID security feature. If it is damaged or replaced, Face ID will cease to function.
Hi there. Do you know if there any rejection using different screens models? I mean, my phone model is XS MTE22J/A but the screens on sale on Amazon say they only support model starting from A1920 and etc. Is there any problem if i use it?
It’s best to use the correct model screen replacements as your phone for the best experience. Also I recommend using OEM screen replacements if possible, they will be longer term
My screen is lifting up but the plastic around the screen remains in place.. what is that and what can be done? My phone screen is functional and has face id and true tone still
Apple did the screen replacement on the xs and the new screen died 2 days later with the same green lighting as the original one. Is this fixable or a new phone is in order?
Run a strip of clear packaging tape over the screen. It will give the suction cup something to adhere to and will prevent bits of glass going everywhere as you remove the screen.
My iPhone XS just dropped and there are no hinges at the left side of screen as shown in 2:20 I'm dead scared as this was my 2nd iPhone XS in a span of 12 months and I cannot afford to tell this to my parents.
Tip: don't press the Face ID like they are doing in the adhesive application(their method of doing that is wrong too), you are going to destroy the Face ID module...don't say I didn't warn you
Altanis I don’t know where you’re getting your info from - I actually work at apple and carry out these repairs on a daily basis. I average 1hr 15mins for a display replacement. A month? Not even remotely correct.
@@ProsCheat it most likely takes time due to queues. But from the time the phone is delivered to the store/service center, it takes a month untill completion. Personally, on an iPhone 6s I take about 20min
You didnt mention anything about losing the TRU TONE OPTION you have to transfer the LCD data to the new one with a tool that sell in China for like 60$ you can do this transfer if you dont care about losing TRU TONE
Honestly I’m quite disappointed in there products. The screen scratches up so easily and the quality in the color’s are terrible compared to the original iPhone screen. The video guide wasn’t the full steps. I just don’t even want to buy their phone screens again!
Tip: Check if your phone still works after any kind of repair before closing up the entire thing.
thats not a tip thats a pro tip

Test your display before reattaching it back to the frame!
@Tesla Model 3 He knows he was saying test it BEFORE reattaching the screen back before you even add the adhesive
Absolutely right
The link for adhesive strips is the wrong video --- it is for the batteries, but here we need the case waterproofing adhesive.
can someone list down all the screw types especially the ear piece speaker and front sensor bit. Thanks
Is it possible to open up display without removing tenpered glass for battery replacement?
You can try but I'm pretty sure your screen protector will just come right off
I did it with screen protector installed withput amy problem. Protector stayed on placeå
Great video , no need to calibrate battery just charge it up to 100%
face id work‘s after replacing the screen with old sensor ?
It will cost you a pretty penny for sure.
£150 for an aftermarket display here in England :/

Don’t you need to know the serial number that’s programmed to the screen so Face ID finger scanner etc and the screen itself will work properly?
What brand of screen did you use?
does this replacement include the front camera too ?
Btw, why changing the screen will remove true tone technology? I don’t get the reason....

With enough force, anything can be separated from anything.

No. You lose water resistance after any screen repair
