    • Before you begin, discharge your iPhone battery below 25%. A charged lithium-ion battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured.

    • Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.

    • Remove the two 6.9 mm-long pentalobe screws at the bottom edge of the iPhone.

    • Opening the iPhone's display will compromise its waterproof seals. Have replacement seals ready before you proceed past this step, or take care to avoid liquid exposure if you reassemble your iPhone without replacing the seals.

  2. iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement, Mark your opening picks: шаг 2, изображение 1 из 3 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement, Mark your opening picks: шаг 2, изображение 2 из 3 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement, Mark your opening picks: шаг 2, изображение 3 из 3
    • If inserted too far, an opening pick can damage your device. Follow this step to mark your pick and prevent damage.

    • Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark the opening pick with a permanent marker.

    • You can also mark the other corners of the pick with different measurements.

    • Alternatively, tape a coin to a pick 3 mm from the tip.

    Got to step 2 and realized the fix kit doesn't include an opening pick! Looks like a guitar pick, and I have those lying around. Is that expected? Looks like the pick is used in many steps below. There's a little blue crowbar that isn't mentioned in the instructions. Perhaps that replaces the opening pick?

    I see you posted this in Meta. I hope it's resolved soon! In the meantime, a guitar pick may work well enough for your repair.

  3. iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement, Tape over any cracks: шаг 3, изображение 1 из 3 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement, Tape over any cracks: шаг 3, изображение 2 из 3 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement, Tape over any cracks: шаг 3, изображение 3 из 3
    • If your iPhone has a cracked screen, 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 screen until the whole face is covered.

    • Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from any glass shaken free during the repair.

    • 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.

    • If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the screen.

    • The next three steps demonstrate the Anti-Clamp, a tool we designed to make the opening procedure easier. If you aren't using the Anti-Clamp, skip down three steps for an alternate method.

    • For complete instructions on how to use the Anti-Clamp, check out this guide.

    • 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.

    • If you find that the surface of your iPhone is too slippery for the Anti-Clamp to hold onto, you can use tape to create a grippier surface.

  5. iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 5, изображение 1 из 3 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 5, изображение 2 из 3 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 5, изображение 3 из 3
    • 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.

  6. iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 6, изображение 1 из 3 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 6, изображение 2 из 3 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 6, изображение 3 из 3
    • Heat an iOpener and thread it through the arms of the Anti-Clamp.

    • You can also use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate—but extreme heat can damage the display and/or internal battery, so proceed with care.

    • 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 into the gap under the screen and the plastic bezel, not the screen itself.

    • If the Anti-Clamp doesn't create a sufficient gap, apply more heat to the area and rotate the handle a quarter turn.

    • Don't crank more than a quarter turn at a time, and wait one minute between turns. Let the Anti-Clamp and time do the work for you.

    • Skip the next three steps.

  7. iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 7, изображение 1 из 1
    • Heating the lower edge of the iPhone helps soften the adhesive securing the display, making it easier to open.

    • 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 you're using a single suction handle, apply it to the bottom edge of the phone, while avoiding the curved portion of the glass.

  9. iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 9, изображение 1 из 3 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 9, изображение 2 из 3 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 9, изображение 3 из 3
    • 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 into the gap under the screen and the plastic bezelnot the screen itself.

    • The watertight adhesive holding the display in place is very strong; creating this initial gap takes a significant amount of force. If you're having a hard time opening a gap, apply more heat, and gently rock the screen up and down to weaken the adhesive until you create enough of a gap to insert your tool.

    I need help. I inserted the pick under the screen, but above the touch screen. When I lifted it, all I see is the silver touch screen instead of the interior of the iPhone. How do I to opening the screen the right way from here?

    • 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.

    • Don't insert your pick more than 3 mm, as you may damage the internal components.

  11. iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement, Screen information: шаг 11, изображение 1 из 1
    • There are delicate cables along the right edge of your iPhone. Don't insert your pick here, as you may damage the cables.

  12. iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 12, изображение 1 из 3 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 12, изображение 2 из 3 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 12, изображение 3 из 3
    • Re-insert your pick at the bottom edge of the iPhone, and slide it up the right side to continue separating the adhesive.

    • Don't insert your pick more than 3 mm, as you may damage the display cables.

  13. iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 13, изображение 1 из 3 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 13, изображение 2 из 3 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 13, изображение 3 из 3
    • The top edge of the display is secured with both glue and clips.

    • 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.

    • The clips will break if you use too much force. Work carefully and be patient.

    • Don't insert your pick more than 3 mm, as you may damage the front panel sensor array.

    • Slide the pick to the opposite corner and cut any remaining adhesive securing the display.

  14. iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 14, изображение 1 из 1
    • Pull on the small nub on the suction cup to remove it from the front panel.

  15. iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 15, изображение 1 из 3 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 15, изображение 2 из 3 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 15, изображение 3 из 3
    • Open the iPhone by swinging the display up from the left side, like the back cover of a book.

    • Don't try to fully separate the display yet, as several fragile ribbon cables still connect it to the iPhone's logic board.

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

    • During reassembly, lay the display in position, align the clips along the top edge, and carefully press the top edge into place before snapping the rest of the display down. If it doesn't click easily into place, check the condition of the clips around the perimeter of the display and make sure they aren't bent.

    • Remove four Y000 screws securing the logic board cover bracket, of the following lengths:

    • Two 1.1 mm screws

    • One 1.5 mm screw

    • One 3.7 mm screw

    • Throughout this repair, keep track of each screw and make sure it goes back exactly where it came from to avoid damaging your iPhone.

  17. iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 17, изображение 1 из 1
    • Remove the bracket.

    • The bracket may be lightly adhered in place. Lift gently but firmly to separate it.

    • During reassembly, this is a good point to power on your iPhone and test all functions before you seal the display in place. Be sure to power your iPhone back down completely before you continue working.

  18. iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 18, изображение 1 из 2 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 18, изображение 2 из 2
    • Use a spudger or a clean fingernail to pry the battery connector up from its socket on the logic board.

    • Try not to damage the black silicone seal surrounding this and other board connections. These seals provide extra protection against water and dust intrusion.

    • 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.

  19. iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 19, изображение 1 из 2 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 19, изображение 2 из 2
    • Remove the three Y000 screws securing the display connector bracket:

    • Two 1.5 mm screws

    • One 1.1 mm screw

    I am replacing the screen for the 2nd time - the first repair was done by someone else, and the first 2 screws are 1.5mm and the last screw is 1.1mm… If I put the screw back in am I risking Long Screw Damage?

    Sarah Ybarra - Ответить

    I think that the outside screw (red one, one the right) is actually 1.5 mm or something longer than 1.1. Looked that way to me.

    Hi, I just changed the screen on my XS Max and for this bracket I used 2 x 1.1 mm and 1 x 1.5 mm.

    Starting from left to right:

    - left 1.1 mm (I tried with 1.5 mm like in the above picture but I felt that it didn't wanted to go deeper so I didn't forced and I tried it in the middle and it fit perfectly)

    - middle 1.5 mm

    - right 1.1 mm

    For the two brackets I had 7 screws, I aligned them on the desk by length and I had 2 x 1.5 mm, 4 x 1.1 mm and 1 x 3.7 mm.

    Good luck and I hope it will help someone!

    • Remove the bracket.

  21. iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 21, изображение 1 из 2 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 21, изображение 2 из 2
    • Use the point of a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the front panel sensor assembly connector.

  22. iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 22, изображение 1 из 2 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 22, изображение 2 из 2
    • Use a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the OLED panel cable connector.

    • To re-attach press connectors like this one, carefully align and press down on one side until it clicks into place, then repeat on the other side. Do not press down on the middle. If the connector is misaligned, the pins can bend, causing permanent damage.

  23. iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 23, изображение 1 из 2 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 23, изображение 2 из 2
    • Use a spudger or fingernail to pry the digitizer cable connector up from its socket.

    • If any part of your screen doesn't respond to touch after your repair, disconnect the battery and then re-seat this connector, making sure it clicks fully into place and that there's no dust or other obstruction in the socket.

    Mine still won’t respond even after reseating any ideas? Ground issue?

    • The earpiece speaker is lightly adhered in place.

    • Using a spudger, gently pry under the top edge of the speaker assembly, and flip it over—down and away from the top edge of the display.

    • The speaker remains attached via a very thin ribbon cable. Be careful not to strain or damage the cable.

    If you are using a refurbished display, check for dirt in the earpiece speaker cutout.

    If you have poor quality or low sound after changing the display, use a cotton bud and isopropyl alcohol to clean the earpiece cutout.

    • Carefully slide the edge of your opening pick underneath the flex cable below the microphone.

    • Twist gently to separate the microphone, while being careful not to strain or damage the flex cable.

    • If needed, use the point of the spudger to finish separating the microphone from its notch in the front panel.

  30. iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 30, изображение 1 из 3 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 30, изображение 2 из 3 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 30, изображение 3 из 3
    • Working left to right, slide an opening pick beneath the flex cable and underneath the proximity sensor + flood illuminator module.

    • Gently wiggle and lift to separate the module from its notch in the front panel.

    • It's helpful to lift and hold the speaker out of the way for access. Just be careful not to pull on the thin flex cable while you work.

  31. iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 31, изображение 1 из 2 iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement: шаг 31, изображение 2 из 2
    • Use tweezers to wiggle the ambient light sensor and lift it from its notch in the display.

    • If the sensor does not wiggle free after a few seconds, apply more heat and try again.

    • The sensor remains attached to the rest of the sensor assembly via a very thin ribbon cable. Be careful not to strain or damage the cable.

    This was the most difficult part for me so i erred on the side of caution. I reheated the display in the oven at 85 degrees celsius. Like in the third picture in the next step, i got a razor into the slot below, to get the diffuser a little loose before wiggling the sensor out. I didn't understand the wiggling until i simply rocked it like a boat would side to side like to the top of the display to the bottom on the display, and voila, all came out easy and in one piece with the diffuser still attached.

    • If you successfully removed the entire ambient light sensor, as shown in the first photo, continue to the next step below.

    • If the white diffuser strip detached and remains embedded in the display, as shown in the second photo, you will need to carefully lever it out along the top edge using a thin blade or pry tool. Re-applying heat first may make this task a bit easier.

    • During reassembly, install the diffuser into the display first, making sure it faces the right direction (the front-facing side is shown in the first image, and the rear-facing side is shown in the third).

    • Then, set the ambient light sensor on top of the diffuser. You will need to hold the sensor in position while installing the screws securing the earpiece/sensor assembly. Once the screws are tightened, the sensor will stay in place and work normally.

    I have accidentally damaged flood illuminator will it affect the face id also or if I just replace the Earpiece Speaker and Sensor Assembly it will get fixed.

    • Remove the earpiece speaker and front sensor assembly.

    • During reassembly, check the position of the black plastic module containing these components:

    • Proximity sensor

    • Flood illuminator

    • The module must be positioned so that these components are not obstructed by any adhesive.

    Do you have to remove the earpiece speaker and front sensor assembly. If you are taking a screen from another Xs max with it already attached?

    atkinson_98 - Ответить

    The front sensor assembly is part of Face ID, so you must transfer the original assembly to the replacement screen in order to maintain Face ID functionality.

    Arthur Shi -

    In order to keep the original assembly, do you have to solder?

    qwerty77x - Ответить

    No, you just take the whole unit. Warm it up and remove the glued sensors like described. Handle it carefully, the speaker cable is quite thin. If damaged, you might loose your face-ID functionality.

Заключение

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.

To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

That's normal. There's a chip in the screen that has info that is specific to the original logic board so unless you have a special machine to read/write to that chip, truetone will not work.

Every authoritative source (such as Apple Support, Wikipedia) that I read about the iPhone XS Max display states that it has an OLED display - not an AMOLED display, and not an LCD display (such as on the XR model). Yet the parts associated with this guide are LCD (website quirk?) and the written text for XS Max mention AMOLED. Isn’t this important to get right when replacing? The model I have is A1921.

Mark Johnson - Ответить

Hi Mark,

The iPhone XS Max uses an AMOLED display. Active Matrix OLED (AMOLED) is a subcategory of the general OLED tech—AMOLED displays contain circuitry which allows them to switch each OLED pixel on or off. Compared to Passive Matrix OLED, AMOLED displays have a higher refresh rate and are more energy efficient . However AMOLED displays are complex, difficult to source, and very expensive to replace (think $200-400 for the part!) Hardware manufacturers sought to resolve this problem by producing LCD replacement screens. These screens are made to be completely compatible with the iPhone XS Max, but are significantly cheaper to replace. They do look slightly different compared to the original screen. Check this link out for a more in-depth review of the differences.

James Baker - Ответить

I would like to echo this comment. It is extremely disappointing to see a guide this comprehensive and detailed stop short of reassembly. Especially because some parts need to be transferred from the original display to the replacement one.

Bobby Adamson -

Completed the Repair with the more Expensive alternative - the OLED display.

The guide is very comprehensive and covered all the points including looking out for bits left behind!

- I noticed a tiny piece of conductive foam on the old display which i moved to the new one.

The OLED display is top quality, but a little darker due to losing the “True Tone” no doubt.

The Adhesive kit is very good, but separating the two films was a little difficult and messed up the alignment slightly, however I managed to recover!

John Gildert - Ответить

One more addition I had to make after undertaking this repair.

I had noted that after swapping the display the earpiece was very quiet. I thought that I had missed a gasket, misaligned the earpiece speaker or not plugged in the leads correctly.

Nope. Much simpler than that. CLEAN THE EAR PIECE CUTOUT! *Eeeewwww* After putting up with this for about 4 weeks, I happened to get out the Cotton Buds. A quick wipe revealed someone elses EAR GUNK was clogging up the ear piece cutout !

Disgusted, I got out the Isopropyl and cleaned it (carefully) about 10 times, the audio is now crystal clear.

@ifixit - Please ensure your “Refurbished displays” have a clean earhole. It was pretty gross that it was clogged to the point that I could not HEAR!

Jonathan Holland - Ответить

This guide worked perfectly for my iPhone Max XS screen replacement. This is only my second “project” from iFixit (the first was a replacement display screen for my Canon 6D) and both times, miraculously, everything worked. I’m really not sure if it is my skills or the details in the guides (it’s definitely the latter and a tiny bit of the former). The replacement parts are reasonably priced and the toolkits are VERY GOOD in quality.

For this iPhone screen fix, I used a previously purchased toolkit and “borrowed” suction handles (yes, definitely makes a difference and better than the tape alternative—I tried both) from a bathroom rack.

It took me about 3 hours to get this done. I rushed on step one and stripped the first pentalobe screw. Luckily, one stripped pentalobe screw is still OK. I managed to pull it apart by wiggling the screen around (without too much force). I used a hair dryer to heat the frame/adhesive.

Follow the instructions closely and don’t lose the tiny screws. A magnetic screwdriver helped.

Executed this repair almost flawlessly. The FaceID flex cable is very fragile and glued down very well. I advise you be careful when removing is as not much pressure at all can cause it to break (Speaking from experience). Other than that the guide was very easy to follow.

Last month I ordered and received a new screen/digitizer for my iPhone XS max. Installation was easy and the phone was back on-line in half ah hour. Not for long unfortunately. A week after the replacement, the digitizer became irresponsive. I had to let the battery die and subsequently reboot my phone.

It fixed the problem for one day. Then the digitizer froze up again. I decided I was going to open the phone to check the ribbon cables for faulty connection. Alas, when opening the iPhone,one of the cables between the screen and the main board tore.

I resorted to re-installing my old cracked screen that now has been working flawlessly for one week.

Is there a fix for the broken ribbon cable, or can I return the screen for credit or repair?

Hello oguntayo tosin, as mentioned in the introduction, for Face ID to work you have to transfer the earpiece speaker + sensor assembly as they are paired to your individual iPhone.

I cant put the display on the iPhone and I dont know why.It just doesn't fit right and rises about 2mm higher than it should.What can I do?

Hello Robin, did you already go through the recommended troubleshooting steps? It sounds like it could be a bracket or elements of the earpiece speaker and front sensor assembly that are not seated correctly or that there is some issue with the clips holding the display. You could also try checking whether your replacement part deviates from the original screen as discussed here. Hope this helps!

If purchasing the OLED option from here, would I be able to use a programmer to enable back True Tone?

There's a couple extra chips near the bottom of the original screen that aren't on the replacement. Are they surplus to requirement?

PLEASE HELP! I have an IPhone XS Max with a cracked screen. It has loads of irreplaceable information on it. I can’t afford to buy a screen right now but I have a brand new screen for a IPhone 6 Plus, I don’t want to install it onto the XS but I was wondering if it could be hooked up long enough to type the passcode and trust a computer so I can download the phone’s contents? Pretty much I just need to know if the cables for the display are compatible.

This is the only thing I could think of that might possibly work and not cost me a bunch of money. I was recently attacked, robbed and assaulted. The IPhone XS Max was recording during the assault but couldn’t back up because I didn’t have any Icloud storage available. If anyone has any other suggestions please help me out. P.s. I have went to the police and they couldn’t care less, I live in a small town and my abuser is a prominent member of the community so I am on my own.
