iPhone 6 Plus Rear Facing Camera Replacement

Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.

Remove the two 3.6 mm P2 Pentalobe screws next to the Lightning connector.

Pull the blue handle backwards to unlock the Anti-Clamp's arms.

Slide the arms over either the left or right edge of your iPhone.

Position the suction cups near the bottom edge of the iPhone just above the home button—one on the front, and one on the back.

Squeeze the cups together to apply suction to the desired area.

Pull the blue handle forwards to lock the arms.

Turn the handle clockwise 360 degrees or until the cups start to stretch.

Insert an opening pick or tool under the screen when the Anti-Clamp creates a large enough gap.

Skip the next three steps.

Use a single suction cup to lift the front panel:

Press a suction cup onto the screen, just above the home button.

While holding the iPhone down with one hand, pull up on the suction cup to slightly separate the front panel assembly from the rear case.

Using a plastic opening tool, begin to gently pry the rear case down, away from the display assembly, while continuing to pull up with the suction cup.

Pull the plastic nub to release the vacuum seal on the suction cup.

Remove the suction cup from the display assembly.

Pull the home button end of the front panel assembly away from the rear case, using the top of the phone as a hinge.

Open the display to about a 90º angle, and lean it against something to keep it propped up while you're working on the phone.

Add a rubber band to keep the display securely in place while you work. This prevents undue strain on the display cables.

Remove the following Phillips screws from the battery connector bracket:

One 2.3 mm screw

One 3.1 mm screw

Remove the metal battery connector bracket from the iPhone.

Use a clean fingernail or the edge of an opening tool to gently pry the battery connector up from its socket on the logic board.

Remove the following Phillips screws securing the front panel assembly cable bracket:

Three 1.2 mm screws

One 1.5 mm screw

One 2.9 mm screw

Remove the front panel assembly cable bracket from the logic board.

While still supporting the front panel, use a fingernail or the edge of an opening tool to disconnect the front-facing camera and earpiece speaker connector.

Disconnect the home button cable connector.

Use a plastic opening tool to disconnect the display data cable connector.

Finally, disconnect the digitizer cable connector.

Remove the front panel assembly from the rear case.

Use a pair of tweezers to peel back the piece of tape covering the hidden screw securing the rear-facing camera bracket to the rear case.

Remove the following screws securing the rear-facing camera bracket to the rear case:

One 1.7 mm Phillips #00 screw

One 2.3 mm Phillips #00 screw

Lift and remove the rear-facing camera bracket off the rear-facing camera.

Use the flat end of a spudger to disconnect the rear-facing camera connector from its socket on the logic board.

Carefully lift and remove the rear-facing camera out of the iPhone.
