Introduction
If your iPhone 11 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 use the instructions below to 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.
Ce dont vous avez besoin
-
-
Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.
-
Remove the two 6.7 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.

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 into the gap under the screen and the plastic bezel, not the screen itself.
-
Skip the next three steps.
-
-
-
Use a hairdryer or heat gun or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the lower edge of the iPhone for about a minute.
-
-
-
Pull up on the suction cup with firm, constant pressure to create a slight gap between the front panel and rear case.
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap under the screen and the plastic bezel, not the screen itself.
-
-
-
Slide the opening pick around the lower left corner and up the left edge of the iPhone, slicing through the adhesive holding the display in place.
-
-
-
-
Pull the small nub on the suction cup to detach it from the front panel.
-
-
-
Open the iPhone by swinging the display up from the left side, like the back cover of a book.

-
Use the point of a spudger to gently pry up the top edge of the speaker.
-
Flip the speaker assembly over—down and away from the top edge of the display.
-
-
-
Use a hairdryer or heat gun or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the top front of the display for 1-2 minutes, in order to soften the adhesive securing the sensors.
-
-
-
Carefully slide the edge of your 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.

I am a repair technician from California, and I use your company’s tools and I gotta say that I love them. Very sleek, and the powerful magnetic bits help me get the job done. I did 5 repairs yesterday and each one finished was a good feeling of satisfaction. In the future, if you guys decide to make some sort of in-depth manual for the newer iPhones, that would be great because diagrams are not only a great way for me to sharpen my own skills, but will help make training new techs a breeze.
Cheers all the way from Fresno!
Hi, I replaced the display independently, not in the Apple service, to my disappointment I found a message in the device that warned me that the part is not original, consequently the FaceID was disabled. Can you tell me about ear? Thank you
Getting a message saying not genuine is known issue. there is no workaround yet. as far as face ID not working, you need to check for tear on the flex as you probably damaged it during transfer. If it’s broken, there is no way to fix.
The Important Display Message can be removed, check here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLo0_p7O...

Great repair guide. My only issues:
1. There are no instructions for removing the metal panel from the back of the old screen (nor how to reinstall it).
2. There are no instructions for removing the old, black adhesive from around the edge of the old case (nor the much needed instructions for reinstalling the new adhesive without damaging it or compromising the purpose of replacing this adhesive). This info is also missing from the adhesive replacement page for the iPhone 11.
I was able to patiently work my way through both of these issues and complete the repair on an iPhone 11. Covering these issues as additional steps of the repair guide would be very helpful for future iFixers.
