• Drain the battery below 25% before you start on this repair
• Always power down your device prior to working on it
• Track your screws, they are different lengths: two 6.9mm P2 pentalobe screws at the bottom, three 1.0mm Y000, one 1.3mm Y000 and one 3.7mm Phillips on the connector bracket, and 1.3mm, 1.4mm and 1.9mm Y000 on the earpiece bracket. A long screw in the wrong hole can damage the logic board, so use a screw mat
• Warm the bottom edge, lift the screen with a suction cup and slide the pick under the plastic bezel, no more than 3mm deep and away from the display cables on the right edge. It opens like a book from the left, hinged on the right - the top is held by clips, so ease it towards the Lightning port and do not lift it from the top
• Always unplug the battery before you remove any other parts. Keep metal tools away from the battery, and never bend, crush or puncture it.
• Remove the five-screw connector bracket and disconnect the battery first, then the front sensor, display and digitiser cables, before attempting any component removal
• Carefully transfer the earpiece speaker and front sensor assembly from your old screen (one bracket screw is hidden under tape) - warm the top edge and use a spudger to gently pry underneath the flex cable to loosen the glue. If the flex cable breaks, you will lose Face ID features. Watch the video above before attempting removal
• Test touch, display, earpiece, proximity and Face ID before sealing the phone, and don't peel off the protective film or any stickers until it's all working. If touch doesn't respond, disconnect the battery and reseat the recessed digitiser connector
• Opening your iPhone XS breaks its factory water-resistance seal. Fit the new screen gasket adhesive included in the box when you reassemble it, seating the top edge clips first.
• Once the repair is finished, turn True Tone on in Settings > Display & Brightness (iOS 18 or later)
