If you don't have an Anti-Clamp, use a single suction cup to lift the front panel:
-
Press a suction cup onto the screen, just above the home button.
-
-
-
While holding the iPhone down with one hand, pull up on the suction cup to slightly separate the front panel assembly from the rear case.
-
Using a plastic opening tool, begin to gently pry the rear case down, away from the display assembly, while continuing to pull up with the suction cup.
-
-
-
Pull the plastic nub to release the vacuum seal on the suction cup.
-
Remove the suction cup from the display assembly.
-
-
-
Open the iPhone by swinging the home button end of the front panel assembly away from the rear case, using the top of the phone 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.
-
Add a rubber band to keep the display securely in place while you work. This prevents undue strain on the display cables.

Great Guide, GPS Antenna and WIFI antenna replaced!!! a little sweat... but i did it
Hi,
Where are the GPS antenna and the GPS chip please ?
Thks
ccTEST -
This part and replacement guide saved my iPhone. I thought the phone was just getting old and on its way out since the bluetooth and gps were incredibly awful. Bluetooth only worked within direct line of sight within one foot, and gps had stopped working almost completely. It took some time to perform this repair, but I following the guide carefully and patiently fixed the problem completely. This part and guide worked perfectly. Thank you very much ifixit!
EXCELLENT Instructions! 1:15 first time. Worked great, saved me the cost of a new phone. The "genius bar" said it couldn't be fixed, talk about self serving "you will have to buy a new phone!"
KEY GUIDANCE
0) Be careful when taking the front off, I snapped off one of two pieces near the lightening connector!
1) Print out the instructions (yes its a lot of pages, but trust me)
2) As you take off screws and pieces tape them to the instructions where they go
3) YOU will thank me later.
If I had not done this I think it would have been twice as long, and likely made mistakes and perhaps damaged something with the wrong length screw. I kept like screws together under one piece of tape, next to each color indicator.
