Here are some helpful tips to assist you in completing a safe repair on your device. If you are unsure of something or have any questions, please feel free to contact us either by phone (0508 IGADGET) or by email

• Drain the battery below 25% before you start on this repair
• Always power down your device prior to working on it. The battery can't be disconnected from the front on the iPhone 16 Pro Max, so use only plastic tools near the connectors and don't touch exposed contacts
• Track your screws on a screw mat or tape them to a drawing of your phone. This repair uses two 7.4mm pentalobe screws, two 1.3mm Y000 tri-point screws and one 1mm Y000 tri-point screw. Keep them apart so each goes back in the right place
• Remove the two 7.4mm pentalobe screws either side of the USB-C port, then heat the bottom edge to soften the adhesive
• The screen opens from the right-hand side like a book, swinging over the left edge. Insert picks no deeper than 3mm on any edge - two delicate display cables run along the left edge, one just above the Action button
• Disconnect the display connector first, then the front sensor connector - each sits under a small cover held by one 1.3mm Y000 tri-point screw. When reconnecting, press one side of each connector, then the other, until it clicks - don't press the middle
• The ambient light sensor is not fitted to the new screen, so transfer it from your old screen - the earpiece and Face ID camera stay in the phone; don't touch them. Remove its bracket (one 1mm Y000 tri-point screw), warm the area, slide a pick under the delicate cable, lift the sensor with a spudger and re-stick it with Tesa tape. If damaged, auto-brightness stops working
• Test touch, display, ProMotion, auto-brightness and Face ID before sealing the phone, and don't peel off the protective film or any stickers until it's all working
• Clean off all the old adhesive with isopropyl alcohol and fit the new screen adhesive supplied in the box to keep dust and moisture out. Press or clamp the screen for about 30 minutes
• This screen supports IC transfer - a micro-soldering specialist can move the display IC from your old screen onto this one.
• Once the repair is finished, turn True Tone on in Settings > Display & Brightness and check auto-brightness is working (iOS 18 or later)
