| The US version of this phone is slightly different than the international version. In general you can still follow this guide but some components may look a bit different. |

| Note: For this repair we will be removing the battery and transferring it to the new screen assembly. If your battery is swollen, [link|https://www.ifixit.com/Wiki/What_to_do_with_a_swollen_battery|take appropriate precautions|new_window=true]. Before opening your phone, discharge your battery to 25% or lower. The battery could catch fire and/or explode if punctured. |
