iPhone 8 Plus Screen Replacement

Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.

Remove the two 3.5 mm pentalobe screws from the bottom edge of the iPhone.

If your display glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping over the glass.

Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPhone's display until the whole face is covered.

If the broken glass makes it difficult to get a suction cup to stick in the next few steps, try folding a strong piece of tape (such as duct tape) into a handle and lifting the display with that instead.

Use a hairdryer or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the lower edge of the iPhone for about 90 seconds in order to soften up the adhesive underneath.

Apply a suction cup to the lower half of the front panel, just above the home button.

Pull up on the suction cup with firm, constant pressure to create a slight gap between the front panel and rear case.

Insert an opening pick or other thin pry tool a few millimeters into the gap.

Slide your pick around the corner and up the left edge of the phone, moving towards the volume control buttons and silent switch, breaking up the adhesive holding the display in place.

Stop near the top left corner of the display.

Re-insert your tool at the lower right corner of the iPhone, and slide it around the corner and up the right side of the phone to separate the adhesive.

Gently pull up on the suction cup to lift up the bottom edge of the display.

Pull on the small nub on the suction cup to remove it from the front panel.

Slide an opening pick underneath the display along the top edge of the phone to loosen the last of the adhesive.

Slide the display assembly slightly down (away from the top edge of the phone) to disengage the clips holding it to the rear case.

Open the iPhone by swinging the display up from the left side, like the back cover of a book.

Lean the display against something to keep it propped up while you're working on the phone.

Remove four Phillips (JIS) screws securing the lower display cable bracket to the logic board, of the following lengths:

Two 1.3 mm screws

One 1.4 mm screw

One 2.7 mm screw

Remove the lower display cable bracket.

Use the point of a spudger to pry the battery connector up from its socket on the logic board.

Bend the connector cable up slightly to prevent it from accidentally making contact with the socket and providing power to the phone during your repair.

Use the tip of a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the large lower display connector by prying it straight up from its socket.

Disconnect the second lower display cable connector, directly behind the one you disconnected in the previous step.

Remove the two tri-point Y000 screws securing the bracket over the front panel sensor assembly connector:

One 1.0 mm screw

One 1.2 mm screw

Remove the bracket covering the front panel sensor assembly connector.

Use the tip of a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the front panel sensor assembly connector from its socket.

Remove the display assembly.

Remove the four Y000 screws securing the bracket over the home/Touch ID sensor:

One 1.2 mm screw

Three 1.3 mm screws

Remove the bracket that secures the home/Touch ID sensor.

Pry under the left edge of the home button cable connector to disconnect it from its socket.

Flip the display assembly over. Use a hairdryer or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the lower edge of the display for about 90 seconds in order to soften up the adhesive underneath.

Use an opening pick to gently separate the adhesive holding the home/Touch ID sensor cable to the back side of the display panel.

Remove the home/Touch ID sensor assembly by lifting it through the front side of the display.
