Introdução
Use this guide to replace a faulty front camera on your iPhone 8 Plus. This camera is part of a larger assembly containing a microphone and proximity/ambient light sensors, all of which are replaced as a single unit.
O que você precisa
-
-
Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.
-
Remove the two 3.5 mm pentalobe screws from the bottom edge of the iPhone.
-
-
-
Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark the opening pick with a permanent marker.
-
-
-
Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPhone's screen until the whole face is covered.
-
If you can't get the suction cup to stick in the next few steps, fold a strong piece of tape (such as duct tape) into a handle and lift the screen with that instead.

-
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.
-
-
-
Heat an iOpener and thread it through the arms of the Anti-Clamp.
-
Fold the iOpener so it lays on the bottom edge of the iPhone.
-
Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and present an opening gap.
-
Insert an opening pick under the screen when the Anti-Clamp creates a large enough gap.
-
Skip the next three steps.
-
-
-
Use a hairdryer or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the lower edge of the iPhone for about 90 seconds in order to soften up the adhesive underneath.

-
Remove four Phillips (JIS) screws securing the lower display cable bracket to the logic board, of the following lengths:
-
Two 1.3 mm screws
-
One 1.4 mm screw
-
One 2.7 mm screw
-
-
-
Use the tip of a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the large lower display connector by prying it straight up from its socket.
-
-
-
Remove the five Phillips screws securing the earpiece speaker bracket:
-
Two 1.8 mm screws
-
One 2.3 mm screw
-
One 2.4 mm screw
-
One 2.8 mm screw
-
-
-
Gently fold the camera and attached ribbon cable toward the bottom of the iPhone to allow access to the components underneath.
-
-
-
Use a hairdryer or heat gun or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the top front of the display for about a minute, in order to soften the adhesive securing the sensors.
-
-
-
Insert the sharp edge of an iFixit opening tool underneath the camera assembly's flex cable, on the opposite side from the front-facing camera.
-
Pry up to separate the edge of the flex cable from the back of the display.
FYI i think you should put up a warning on which side you should start the prying from. If you start prying from the top there’s a risk of prying apart the two parts of the flex cables that are soldered together. If you start from the bottom as pictured you should be safer, but I think it should be specified in text on this guide… because I managed to do this mistake and have to order the whole front cam/speaker/etc. assembly now. My own fault but still, haha!

-
Remove the front camera and sensor cable assembly.
-
A piece of black double-sided insulating tape lies between the display and three rows of copper contacts on the back of the camera/sensor cable. It may remain stuck to the display, or it may come off with the cable.
Why is the insulating tape needed, and what other materials should I using instead of it if I loose the tape?
I moved the insulating tape from the broken screen to the new screen.
Don’t forget to check if your new screen assembly has the two plastic pieces for the camera and proximity detector. You’ll need to move them from the old screen if it doesn’t have them.
Hi, is it possible for the flex cable to work without placing he tape over the contacts?
Thanks
I forgot to add move the double sided tape over and I’m wondering if that was why my ear speaker wasn’t working. I opened it back up and put the tape on the new screen but the speaker is still not working. Any ideas? Did the speaker “short” out?
Mine the same , did you solve the problem? Thank you
I bought the ifixit tool kit iPhone plus 8 screen. Do i need to skip this step ? (not sure)
Whenever I had my camera unit and speaker in, it prevented my phone from charging or finding my sim. Any explanation for this? seems really strange to me

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.
To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order.

What happens if the camera/ sensor cables come apart but dont tear if ya know what i mean? theres 2 cables and theyre like taped on top of one another and they connect eachother… well, in my case they just came apart..
Just had the same problem. I placed a new flexcable, they're not very expensive.
Salve,
Ho proceduto alla sostituzione della camera frontale ma, quando accendo il tel il sistema si avvia in modalità loop senza mai avviare il sistema operativo.
Ovviamente se non collego il flat della camera frontale il telefono si avvia regolarmente. Ho anche provato con una camera frontale nuova senza risultato.
Potreste aiutarmi?
I removed one of the 2 small circular stickers (one is white, one green) from where the sensor gets placed. Is it a problem?
After replacing the screen on an iphone 8 plus, the earpiece speaker won’t work. I tried everything and it just won’t work, I’m guessing the flex cable got damaged when transfering it from the old to the new screen. Are the gold “contacts” supposed to be making contact with something or only the black tape?
Has anyone else had this problem?
I don’t know if changing the flex will solve the problem or should i change both the flex and the earpiece just to be sure?
Same thing happend to me today, did you manage to fix it by fiddling with the flex(as someone suggested) or did you replace it?
For me the 8 plus front camera flex is the most delicate part. I hate doing this job its very seldom I dont replace this part when replacing LCD. I don't know if its just me hehehe
