    • If you don't have an Anti-Clamp, follow the next three steps to use a suction handle.

    • Apply mild heat to the lower edge of the iPhone using an iOpener or hair dryer for about a minute.

    • Heat softens the adhesive securing the display, making it easier to open.

  5. iPhone 6s Plus Wi-Fi Diversity Antenna Replacement: étape 5, image 1 de 1
    • Opening the display on the 6s Plus separates a thin strip of adhesive around the perimeter of the display. If you prefer to replace the adhesive, have a set of new adhesive strips ready before you continue. It's possible to complete the repair without replacing the adhesive, and you probably won't notice any difference in functionality.

    • Apply a suction cup to the lower left corner of the display assembly.

    • If your display is badly cracked, covering it with a layer of clear packing tape may allow the suction cup to adhere. Alternatively, very strong tape may be used instead of the suction cup. If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the broken screen.

  6. iPhone 6s Plus Wi-Fi Diversity Antenna Replacement: étape 6, image 1 de 2 iPhone 6s Plus Wi-Fi Diversity Antenna Replacement: étape 6, image 2 de 2
    • Pull up on the suction cup with firm, constant pressure to create a slight gap between the front panel and rear case.

    • Pulling too hard may damage the display assembly. Apply just enough pressure to create a small gap between the display assembly and the rear case.

  12. iPhone 6s Plus Wi-Fi Diversity Antenna Replacement: étape 12, image 1 de 2 iPhone 6s Plus Wi-Fi Diversity Antenna Replacement: étape 12, image 2 de 2
    • Use a plastic opening tool to hold down the rear case while pulling up the suction cup to open the phone.

    • Do not remove the display completely, or you will damage the data cables connecting the display near the top edge of the iPhone.

  13. iPhone 6s Plus Wi-Fi Diversity Antenna Replacement: étape 13, image 1 de 2 iPhone 6s Plus Wi-Fi Diversity Antenna Replacement: étape 13, image 2 de 2
    • Pull up on the small nub on the suction cup to remove it from the display.

  14. iPhone 6s Plus Wi-Fi Diversity Antenna Replacement: étape 14, image 1 de 3 iPhone 6s Plus Wi-Fi Diversity Antenna Replacement: étape 14, image 2 de 3 iPhone 6s Plus Wi-Fi Diversity Antenna Replacement: étape 14, image 3 de 3
    • Gently grasp the display assembly and lift it up to open the phone, using the clips at the top of the front panel 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.

    • Don't open the display more than 90º—it is still connected to the top of the phone by the display, digitizer, and front camera cables which can tear easily.

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

    • In a pinch, you can use an unopened canned beverage to support the display.
