Introduction
Use this guide to replace a broken or cracked screen in your iPhone 15.
Note: Since you can't disconnect the battery during this repair, be especially careful not to use metal prying tools or touch exposed contacts in your iPhone.
Due to Apple's parts pairing restrictions, your iPhone will disable True Tone and auto brightness after a screen replacement, even with a genuine part.
Ce dont vous avez besoin
-
-
Unplug any cables from your phone.
-
Hold the power and either volume buttons and slide to power off your phone.
-
-
-
If your screen or back glass is badly cracked, lay overlapping strips of packing tape over the glass to protect yourself and make disassembly easier.
-
-
-
Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark the opening pick with a permanent marker.
-
-
-
Use a P2 pentalobe driver to remove the two 7.7 mm-long screws on either side of the charging port.
-
-
-
Cut two strips of tape, apply them along the long edges of the phone, and fold them over the back glass to secure it.
-
-
-
Pull the Anti-Clamp's blue handle backward to unlock the arms.
-
With the screen facing up, slide the arms over the left edge of your phone, with one suction cup on the screen and the other on the back glass. Center the suction cups near the bottom edge.
-
Support your phone so it rests level while between the Anti-Clamp's arms—a small box works well.
-
Squeeze the cups together to create suction.
-
-
-
Pull the blue handle forward to lock the arms.
-
Turn the handle one full turn (360 degrees) or until the cups start to stretch.
-
As the cups stretch, make sure they stay vertically aligned with each other. If they tend to slip, remove the Anti-Clamp and apply tape for the cups to stick to.
-
-
-
Use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat the bottom edge of the screen until it's hot to the touch.
-
Wait up to a minute for the adhesive to separate and a gap to form between the screen and the frame.
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap.
-
Remove the Anti-Clamp using the pull tabs on the suction cups.
-
Skip the next two steps.

-
-
-
There are two delicate cables connecting the screen to the phone, one just above the mute switch, and the other about halfway between the volume down button and the bottom of the phone.
-
There are multiple spring contacts around the perimeter of the phone. Be extra careful not to insert your pick deeper than suggested in these locations to avoid bending the contacts.
-
-
-
Slide your pick back and forth along the bottom edge to separate the adhesive.
-
Leave your pick inserted in the bottom right corner to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.
-
-
-
Heat the right edge of the screen until it's hot to the touch.
-
-
-
Slide your pick around the bottom right corner of the screen and toward the power button until you feel a hard stop at a clip securing the screen.
-
Rotate your pick so the flat edge is under the screen.
-
-
-
Hold the pick with one hand and twist it to increase the gap between the screen and the frame and release the right clip.
-
Insert a second opening pick to the right of the first one.
-
-
-
Slide the first pick back to the bottom right corner of the screen.
-
Slide the second pick to the top right corner of the screen to separate the adhesive.
-
Leave these picks inserted to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

Is it safe to remove the screen of Iphone 15 or even 14 without disconnecting the battery? Thank you.
Hi Laurentiu,
In the case of the iPhone 15 series and the iPhone 14 vanilla models, their design is intentional so that you may replace the screen without disconnecting the battery. To mitigate any ESD-related risks, don't use any metal prying tools, use ESD-safe tools, and discharge and shut down your device before opening it up. Read more about ESD here.
Good luck!
Ok, I got you, thank you very much. So it doesn't matter if we change the screen and battery is still unplugged, even if we use lcd or led screen, if we use the right tools.
This may not be true for all devices, but Apple devices are quite robust. You should have no problem swapping a screen out on an iPhone 15. Just make sure that the press connectors are fully connected, since the insulating foam around the sockets may prevent them from laying flush!
