I think that the main reason why the back glass cracked after you installed it is because you didn’t remove the plastic cover on the sticky tape on the back glass where the charging coil is, which created pressure.

Aha, I used to follow the same idea, I’d get a two ish year old iPhone when the “new” iPhone was brand new, I’d followed this from my iPhone 8 to my 11 Pro Max. I recently picked up a 15 pro max because I found one open box for 850. Thought that was amazing so I’ve got that now. Enjoy your 15!

While it’s a shame that the glass cracked it’s all part of the learning experience. Before I started my computer repair company and became genuinely experienced I can tell you I learnt an awful lot from breaking A LOT of things and going “ahh…that’s how that works”
did you remove all of the blue protective films on the new back glass at 9:14 as those need to be removed before install for a better fit and to help route the cables correctly with adhesive
@@schvabek yeah also many aftermarket back glasses from china are made poorly so many crack upon reinstall i had the exact same situation on 1 i got for a 14 managed to a get a refund luckily
@ Nah, I don’t really mind it. I mean, I honestly wouldn’t mind having like a plastic back lol. You could probably get one and not have to worry about cracking it.
Replacement parts are usually inferior that's why it is easy to break it while installing. I had a replacement touch screen for my SE and it just shattered while in my pocket (I sat on it) as the glass is thinner and more brittle than an OEM screen.
I did something very very similar to this, I bought a standard iPhone 15 for $350 with a broken back, ordered a new back for $14 and had to swap over the coil, flash and mic. I also cracked my back on the first attempt, but I bought another back and it's arriving soon for a second attempt.
I've had my 15PM for just over a year now and love it. it's a great phone. I'm not a tech guy though, but I like my phone to last 4 years so don't mind getting a more future-proofed one.
I would defiantly recommend using plastic prying pick to get the back glass off and not an x-acto knife because you could scratch/damage other components in the phone.
@@schvabek Huh. Maybe I was thinking of the screen then, for removing it without breaking or scratching it. Although I am in no way a professional so take what I say there with a grain of salt. Congrats on the good repair and good deal though!

@schvabek but the some reason Apple doesn’t sell USB C to USB A and when I use third-party cables they don’t work to sync data to my IMac which only has USB A
@@Sheepy469 Hi did you try other cable ? Some new usb cable only provide charging no data. Also did you enable the sync with your idevices and the macos system ? I have tried two 2015 macbook pro a 13” and 15” both with oclp and I synced my music with both computers at separate times on my 15 Pro Max 🤔
I'm still using an iPhone from 2018, I don't really use it for anything outside of an mp3 player so it's still in the same condition it was when I got it. I typically just used old burner phones before I got this one because I do everything on my computer.
I used to use an iphone xs i bought for 100 euros before i bought my s24 ultra. Both the XS and the ultra are a HUUGE upgrade from the poco x3 pro i used to have.
Pozdrav, odlican video. Kaj se tice prasine u kameri imas za narucit na aliexpressu 2uul resin gel lens cleaner. Izgledaju ko stapici za usi, dodu oko 5e i stvarno dobro rade :)

I bought an S24 Ultra for a 100 dollars recently. It had a broken display and cameras. I bought those from Aliexpress for a 100 usd and now I have a fully functional S24 Ultra for 200 USD 🤪
@@snsdjerry Back glass in this case only has the flash/charging coil, and they both work. You can even serialise it in iOS18, not that I really care about that
@ Man, that’s like the biggest compliment you could’ve given me. It’s insane to think that from all the millions of creators on this platform you consider me to be your favourite. Just insane ❤️
Even if it cracked on the back again, it's fine. I love that iPhone because the 3 camera reminds me of Mickey Mouse. But I am saving up to get the S25 Ultra when it comes out. (My phone is over 4 years old).
The silicone case is most likely a clone, but it is still a good deal considering Apple charges 50 for an official one... Also if you get a Non-Genuine or unknown part for the back glass (I think apple serialized them? Im not 100%) I think you could try IOS 18's repair fixer, it should pair the new parts on the glass, and wireless charger.
Yeah, pretty sure it’s a knock off, but a decent one. Honestly I didn’t even check to see if it’s recognised as an original part, I don’t really care as long as it works
meh it still works eh and yeah that must of suck doing all that work and crack .. i be like DUDE wtf , but hey whatever u have a case on it .... the only downfalll is that if u drop it or over time that crack could get worst.. i dont know i think its nice a glass back... but idk maybe im weird but i like my cheap plastic feel on my pixel 8a lol
I wouldn’t even mind the plastic back, lol, but I couldn’t find one with the MagSafe/flash cable. I mean if it breaks too much, I’ll just get a new one, its not that expensive, the replacement glass
My parents buy the newest iPhone every 3 years once they pay off their old phones. They directly trade in my mom’s old phone for the new one and give me my dad’s old phone and trade in my last phone. I’m not complaining personally since I have a 13 PM from my dad and my they have the 15 PMs
i just got a 13 pro max for £200, i just need to replace the back camera as the OIS is broken and the lenses are dirty as the lenses are pretty much gone (apart from 0.5x, that's perfect condition) and the battery as it's on 78% bh.
@@radehype4389 well I thought I got all of it, and to be honest, I was afraid to break the ribbon cable, there seemed to be no way of getting it off underneath, so I just left it.
Nice, now you wont be able to use NFC, other words Apple pay. you need to transfer the old cable with magsave to the new glass but obv your too stupid too do that
Nope, that works just fine, you don’t need to transfer anything lol. The new glass only has the flash and the charging coil, and that works perfectly too, as stupid as I might be 😂
@@schvabek original commenter being rude for no reason but the reason ppl transfer magsafe coil and original back glass flex is that when apple first made back glass removeable on the 14 they also made it so that if you didnt use the original magsafe coil when you replaced the backglass it would bootloop the phone every 180 seconds, then understandably people got pissed and they removed this requirement in a software update, along with restoring a few other third party anti-repair features.
I bought an iPhone 13 Pro Max with 1TB storage for $498 near perfect condition except FaceID not working. Should I get aftermarket parts from Ali express or buy $150 original from Apple?
Hm, I do know the Face ID is tricky even if the part is original, given how Apple has serialised most of the components. I’d investigate that in a bit more detail. But $150 for a faceID sensor does seem a lot
I’m not sure if you care about this, but I wouldn’t buy back glasses from Ali express or temu, etc because they aren’t going to be nearly as durable, and at the end, the glass covers the cameras and it sort of makes he camera lenses look fake.. 🤷
I couldn’t care less, honestly. As an individual, it’s nearly impossible to get OEM parts, unless it’s from a working second hand unit, from like eBay, but in any case it’s going to be many times more expensive, and the idea here was to save money. And personally I don’t care about the “original” look or whatever. For me, it’s a tool I use to make my videos and do other productivity related tasks.
That's an absolute steal even after repairs! Below $600 for a top model iPhone that's only a generation behind + screen protector + official case? Count me in!
Yeah, I also thought I got a decent price. As far as the case goes, well, don’t know how official it is, but it works just fine 😂
That not a steal that the opposite
the case is from ali but it's the same as the original or it's a case that was over produced and apple didn't want
I think that the main reason why the back glass cracked after you installed it is because you didn’t remove the plastic cover on the sticky tape on the back glass where the charging coil is, which created pressure.
Well I don’t really think that adds any thickness, but who know, perhaps you’re right.

Thanks man 🤟 So nice to hear that. Hopefully i get more popular 😅😁
Why did you leave the factory stickers on the coil and flex cable😢
Update it to ios 18 and pair the back glass to the phone, it will show up in settings as an original replaced part.

He, He. At a local flea market a vendor tried to sell an iPhone 11 with 3 holes in the back cover.
Bruh. I wake up to THIS one popping off, and 9.38??!? I'm just gonna say DAG YO. 😃
@@thethriftyfawn it’s actually passed 10k, but it hasn’t updated yet 😁❤️❤️
@schvabek WHAAAAAAAT??!?
🤯🥵😭😃😍
(I meant your sub count...)
@ oh that, thats also growing! Not at 10k yet, but we’ll reach it for sure! ❤️❤️❤️
@schvabek One hundred percent- in a FLASH!!! 👏👏👏
I actually hate usbc. I much prefer lightning and it actually works to connect to old MacBooks and cars unlike USBc
USB-C is backwards compatible with USB-A. You can literally hook it up to any older computer, just like lightning.
@schvabek but the some reason Apple doesn’t sell USB C to USB A and when I use third-party cables they don’t work to sync data to my IMac which only has USB A
@@Sheepy469 Hi did you try other cable ? Some new usb cable only provide charging no data.
Also did you enable the sync with your idevices and the macos system ?
I have tried two 2015 macbook pro a 13” and 15” both with oclp and I synced my music with both computers at separate times on my 15 Pro Max 🤔
I got one for 700 bucks and its in full working condition, not shattered but some scratches in the case
Nice find!
I'm still using an iPhone from 2018, I don't really use it for anything outside of an mp3 player so it's still in the same condition it was when I got it. I typically just used old burner phones before I got this one because I do everything on my computer.

The iPhone 15 Pro Max could actually breaks to faster than other models like 14 pro max
cuz the titanium blue is not good it could scratch quickly
I don’t really care about the titanium getting scratched tbh 🤷♂️ also it’s in a case
I used to use an iphone xs i bought for 100 euros before i bought my s24 ultra. Both the XS and the ultra are a HUUGE upgrade from the poco x3 pro i used to have.
@@nikolaszisoudis8408 Hey, that’s awesome, hope it serves you for years to come! Never used a Galaxy before, might need to try it out.
recheck the back, i think its still a bit open, maybe its just the adhiesive that I see but take a look to make sure
Nope, it’s totally flush. I’ve clamped it overnight. Pretty good, apart from that crack
Yeah I think it’s worth it just go to your local repair shop and fix the back glass probably not that much ig?
Well I asked two shops and they wanted like $300
@@schvabek That's ridiculous even if it's OEM original back glass, I would definitely DIY it as well.
dude, you sound better than in previous videos
Well, thanks man 😁
Pozdrav, odlican video. Kaj se tice prasine u kameri imas za narucit na aliexpressu 2uul resin gel lens cleaner. Izgledaju ko stapici za usi, dodu oko 5e i stvarno dobro rade :)
Ej, hvala puno! Ma nisam vidio da ima prašine i nisam htio puno prckati. Malo sam ispuhao lagano i to je to 😂 al možda uzmem za sljedeći put ak ću Radit nekaj slično
You sound like johnzoid89
Huh, yeah, I kinda do 😂
Rakija for the win it helps with everything
Nego kako 🤟🤟❤️❤️
I bought an S24 Ultra for a 100 dollars recently. It had a broken display and cameras. I bought those from Aliexpress for a 100 usd and now I have a fully functional S24 Ultra for 200 USD 🤪
@@markpetrov93 that’s awesome, good job!
Isn't changing non official parts make some featured not work?
@@snsdjerry Back glass in this case only has the flash/charging coil, and they both work. You can even serialise it in iOS18, not that I really care about that
Does the cracked back glass can spread even more in the long time?
I guess, but it’s just two cracks. If it gets too bad, I can always replace it again for like $30.
@@schvabek Yeah thx reply, slap in a case & just forget the crack
I was going to buy this phone but gave up in the end, found one for 700€ that was 3 months old, neki splico mi prodo haha. Super video!

@@schvabek No problem! You are my favorite UA-camr.
@ Man, that’s like the biggest compliment you could’ve given me. It’s insane to think that from all the millions of creators on this platform you consider me to be your favourite. Just insane ❤️
@@schvabek I don't watch a lot of creators. You deserve it.
Even if it cracked on the back again, it's fine. I love that iPhone because the 3 camera reminds me of Mickey Mouse. But I am saving up to get the S25 Ultra when it comes out. (My phone is over 4 years old).
Thanks man ❤️
@@schvabek Yeah! Plus, the case covers it up anyway. Are the cameras OK though?
@ yep, work perfectly fine. Filmed the last couple of episodes with them.
@@schvabek Nice!
The silicone case is most likely a clone, but it is still a good deal considering Apple charges 50 for an official one...
Also if you get a Non-Genuine or unknown part for the back glass (I think apple serialized them? Im not 100%) I think you could try IOS 18's repair fixer, it should pair the new parts on the glass, and wireless charger.
Yeah, pretty sure it’s a knock off, but a decent one. Honestly I didn’t even check to see if it’s recognised as an original part, I don’t really care as long as it works
what is the solution that makes your hand not shake

good decision

Oh man, I hope I’m at least not the worst 😂❤️
😁♥
meh it still works eh and yeah that must of suck doing all that work and crack .. i be like DUDE wtf , but hey whatever u have a case on it .... the only downfalll is that if u drop it or over time that crack could get worst.. i dont know i think its nice a glass back... but idk maybe im weird but i like my cheap plastic feel on my pixel 8a lol
I wouldn’t even mind the plastic back, lol, but I couldn’t find one with the MagSafe/flash cable. I mean if it breaks too much, I’ll just get a new one, its not that expensive, the replacement glass
@@schvabek true, true nice phone either way.
replace the back glass again it is not hard to do again :D
Nah, maybe if this one breaks more or something
back glass most likely cracked because you didnt remove the plastic film from the wireless charging coil
Ahh, yess. That special substance 😌 6:18
Heck yeah 🤟
My parents buy the newest iPhone every 3 years once they pay off their old phones. They directly trade in my mom’s old phone for the new one and give me my dad’s old phone and trade in my last phone. I’m not complaining personally since I have a 13 PM from my dad and my they have the 15 PMs
That’s cool! 🤟
did you just leave the coil protective film un-peeled
I thought I got all the film off.
@@schvabek 😭
Wait wait wait, no way you are croatian,Big hi from balkan🇭🇷🇷🇸🇲🇰🇬🇷🇦🇱
Ej, stari, hvala ❤️
But don't you **know** about the crack? that would drive me nuts
@@elmerrrrrr nope, doesn’t bother me one bit 😂
i just got a 13 pro max for £200, i just need to replace the back camera as the OIS is broken and the lenses are dirty as the lenses are pretty much gone (apart from 0.5x, that's perfect condition) and the battery as it's on 78% bh.
Nice find man!
You forgot the plastic on the charging coil.
@@radehype4389 well I thought I got all of it, and to be honest, I was afraid to break the ribbon cable, there seemed to be no way of getting it off underneath, so I just left it.
good stuff
Thanks! 🤟
how do you get the most steals ever?
Mostly by just being consistent with the market. Just checking frequently and looking in the right places.
May I ask where did you study abroad?

Bought a cracked iPhone 15 for £170 all working
Nice, now you wont be able to use NFC, other words Apple pay. you need to transfer the old cable with magsave to the new glass but obv your too stupid too do that
Nope, that works just fine, you don’t need to transfer anything lol. The new glass only has the flash and the charging coil, and that works perfectly too, as stupid as I might be 😂
@@schvabek original commenter being rude for no reason but the reason ppl transfer magsafe coil and original back glass flex is that when apple first made back glass removeable on the 14 they also made it so that if you didnt use the original magsafe coil when you replaced the backglass it would bootloop the phone every 180 seconds, then understandably people got pissed and they removed this requirement in a software update, along with restoring a few other third party anti-repair features.
@borates but it has nothing to do with the NFC reader, so not really sure what that guy was talking about

@SavinuJayawardena Thanks! 🤷♂️🤟
The new back glass brole because it’s super low quality. You should’ve asked for a refund
Get a pulled or original IRP back glass
I bought an iPhone 13 Pro Max with 1TB storage for $498 near perfect condition except FaceID not working. Should I get aftermarket parts from Ali express or buy $150 original from Apple?
Hm, I do know the Face ID is tricky even if the part is original, given how Apple has serialised most of the components. I’d investigate that in a bit more detail. But $150 for a faceID sensor does seem a lot

10:22 legends will understand
Can’t say I’m a legend I guess 😂
I’m not sure if you care about this, but I wouldn’t buy back glasses from Ali express or temu, etc because they aren’t going to be nearly as durable, and at the end, the glass covers the cameras and it sort of makes he camera lenses look fake.. 🤷
I couldn’t care less, honestly. As an individual, it’s nearly impossible to get OEM parts, unless it’s from a working second hand unit, from like eBay, but in any case it’s going to be many times more expensive, and the idea here was to save money. And personally I don’t care about the “original” look or whatever. For me, it’s a tool I use to make my videos and do other productivity related tasks.
Same for screens, but if you care about durability well just look at higher priced screens.
ok
ok 😁
