Complete Guide to Replace an iPhone 6s Screen

If you accidentally crack your new-bought iPhone 6s screen you can following the detailed steps below to repair your phone.

Step 1
Turn off your iPhone before starting disassembly. Take out the two 3.4 mm Pentalobe screws around the Lightning connector.

Step 2 
Press a suction cup onto the screen, just above the home button. Be sure the cup is pressed firmly onto the screen to get a tight seal. Pull up on the suction cup to slightly split the front panel assembly from the rear case.

Step 3 
There is a notch on the underside of the display just above the headphone jack that is the safest place to begin prying the phone open. Pull up on the suction cup to slightly separate the front panel assembly from the rear case. Take your time and apply firm, constant force. The display assembly is a much tighter fit than most devices and is held down with adhesive. Once a small gap has been opened, insert the flat end of a spudger above the headphone jack. Keep pulling up on the suction cup while twisting the spudger.

Use the edge of a spudger to slice through the adhesive on either side of the phone. Don't open the display more than 90 degrees, as it is still connected at the top by three cables that may break if stretched.

Step 7
