Introdução
If your iPhone XS screen is cracked, not responding to touch, or not showing a picture when your phone is powered on, use this guide to restore your iPhone to working order with a new screen, a.k.a. display assembly.
The combined earpiece speaker + sensor assembly affixed to the back of the display is paired to your individual iPhone from the factory, so you must transfer it from your old display to your new one during any display replacement. It contains the flood illuminator, which is part of the biometric Face ID security feature. If it is damaged or replaced, Face ID will cease to function, so take extra care not to damage any of these components during this procedure. If damaged, only Apple can restore Face ID function.
Note: True Tone functionality is disabled after a screen replacement, even when using an original Apple screen.

-
-
Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.
-
Remove the two 6.9 mm-long pentalobe screws at the bottom edge of the iPhone.
-
-
-
If your iPhone has a cracked screen, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping over the glass.
-
Lay overlapping strips of packing tape over the iPhone's display until the whole face is covered.
-
If the broken glass makes it difficult to get a suction cup to stick in the next few steps, try folding a strong piece of tape (such as duct tape) into a handle and lifting the display with that instead.
-
-
-
Use a hairdryer or heat gun or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the lower edge of the iPhone for about a minute in order to soften up the adhesive underneath.
-
-
-
Pull the blue handle towards the hinge to disengage opening mode.
-
Position the suction cups near the bottom edge of the iPhone—one on the front, and one on the back.
-
Push down on the cups to apply suction to the desired area.
-
-
-
Push the blue handle away from the hinge to engage opening mode.
-
Turn the handle clockwise until you see the cups start to stretch.
-
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 two steps.
-
-
-
-
Remove five screws securing the logic board connector bracket, of the following lengths:
-
Three 1.0 mm Y000 screws
-
One 1.3 mm Y000 screw
-
One 3.7 mm Phillips screw
-
-
-
On the back of the display assembly, peel back and remove any tape covering the hidden screw at the lower right corner of the speaker housing.
-
-
-
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.
-
-
-
Carefully slide the edge of an opening pick underneath the flex cable below the microphone.
-
Twist gently to separate the microphone, while being careful not to strain or damage the flex cable.
-
If needed, use the point of the spudger to finish separating the microphone from its notch in the front panel. If the microphone remains difficult to separate, apply more heat.
-
-
-
If you successfully removed the entire ambient light sensor, as shown in the first photo, continue to the next step below.
-
If the white diffuser strip detached and remains embedded in the display, as shown in the second photo, you will need to carefully lever it out along the top edge using a thin blade or pry tool. Re-applying heat first may make this task a bit easier.
-
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.

It would be better if you provided some guidance on moving the iPhone XS Front Camera and Sensor Holder from the old display to the new one since the part you deliver does not include it. In order to remove it I ended up having to use my heat gun which warped the plastic and ultimately caused me to have to buy a replacement. Does it require adhesive? I still don’t know and it gets conveniently ignored in your guide and repair videos on YouTube. I’m quite frustrated.
Sorry about that! That’s no fun at all. iFixit’s replacement screens are meant to include that component; I’ll ask for someone to check and make sure it’s not left out in the future. However, it’s normally pretty easy to remove using mild heat and/or a few drops of isopropyl alcohol, with some gentle wiggling and prying. Then you carefully position it on your new screen. Adhesive is helpful, but once you screw down the earpiece speaker over the top, it should be perfectly secure regardless.
My phone screen feels a little loose after reassembly. Mostly in the top left area if I push it.. is this normal?
Short answer: Yes. Long answer: If you have adhesive on it that can hold the screen down. If you don’t it’s $5 and super easy to put on. It is kind of normal for the screen to be a little warped, I have done replacements on iPhones without reapplying adhesive and when applying heat it can warp it a tiny bit. The adhesive can help with this a lot. I strongly recommend you get it to hold your screen down.
Thanks a lot for this great instruction!
