iPhone X Earpiece Speaker Replacement Without Losing Face ID
Введение
Перейти к шагу 1Use this guide to replace the earpiece speaker without losing Face ID.
The earpiece speaker is only connected to the front sensor array by two solder points, so while this procedure does require a minimum amount of soldering, it is relatively easy to do and will allow you to keep the existing front sensor array and not affect the phone's ability to use Face ID.
In fact, you don't even have to remove the front sensor array to do this repair, making it actually easier than the full iPhone X Earpiece Speaker and Front Sensor Assembly Replacement guide.
This guide was inspired by a YouTube video by Tech MD Youtube who figured out how to do this procedure.

Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.
-
Remove the two 6.9 mm-long pentalobe screws at the bottom edge of the iPhone.
-
-
-
Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark the opening pick with a permanent marker.
-
-
-
Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPhone's screen until the whole face is covered.
-
If you can't get the suction cup to stick in the next few steps, fold a strong piece of tape (such as duct tape) into a handle and lift the screen with that instead.

-
Pull the blue handle backwards to unlock the Anti-Clamp's arms.
-
Slide the arms over either the left or right edge of your iPhone.
-
Position the suction cups near the bottom edge of the iPhone—one on the front, and one on the back.
-
Squeeze the cups together to apply suction to the desired area.
-
-
-
Pull the blue handle forward to lock the arms.
-
Turn the handle clockwise 360 degrees or until the cups start to stretch.
-
Make sure the suction cups remain aligned with each other. If they begin to slip out of alignment, loosen the suction cups slightly and realign the arms.
-
-
-
Heat an iOpener and thread it through the arms of the Anti-Clamp.
-
Fold the iOpener so it lays on the bottom edge of the iPhone.
-
Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and present an opening gap.
-
Insert an opening pick under the screen and the plastic bezel, not the screen itself.
-
Skip the next three steps.
-
-
-
Use a hairdryer or heat gun or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the lower edge of the iPhone for about a minute in order to soften up the adhesive underneath.
-
-
-
If using a single suction handle, apply it to the bottom edge of the phone, while avoiding the curved portion of the glass.
-
-
-
Pull up on the suction cup with firm, constant pressure to create a slight gap between the screen and the frame.
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap under the screen's plastic bezel, not the screen itself.
-
-
-
Slide the opening pick around the lower left corner and up the left edge of the iPhone, slicing through the adhesive holding the display in place.
-
-
-
Re-insert your pick at the bottom edge of the iPhone, and slide it up the right side to continue separating the adhesive.
-
-
-
Slide the opening pick around the top corner of the display, while gently pulling or wiggling the display down in the direction of the Lightning port.
-
Slide the pick to the opposite corner and cut any remaining adhesive securing the display.
-
-
-
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.

One 3.1 mm screw
-
One 3.7 mm screw
-
-
-
Use the point of a spudger or a clean fingernail to pry the battery connector up from its socket on the logic board.
-
Bend the connector slightly away from the logic board to prevent it from accidentally making contact with the socket and providing power to the phone during your repair.
-
-
-
Use the point of a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the front panel sensor assembly connector.
-
-
-
Use the point of a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the OLED panel cable connector.

-
Remove two more Y000 screws securing the speaker/sensor assembly:
-
One 1.6 mm screw
-
One 1.3 mm screw
-

@jason_b I responded to your comment on the question where you posted.
Earpiece Replacement and Face ID Functionality - iPhone 11 Pro Max - iFixit
Can Face ID be repaired again after damaged when repairing speaker
I can't give you a definitive answer because it depends on the kind of damage, but there is a chance it could be repaired. However, those kind of repairs require quite specialized microsoldering expertise that not all repair shops are capable of. Some repairs can be done by moving components from one flex cable to a new one, or in some cases the flex can be repaired if that's what's wrong.
If you're unable to locate a shop that has the expertise to do that kind of repair, then the only other choice you have would be to pay Apple to replace the screen. Their replacements come with the earpiece speaker assembly, and when they do the work they'll pair it to your phone so Face ID will work again. Some people can use the Apple self repair program, but unfortunately the iPhone 12 is the oldest phone they support with the program so that won't work for you.
