Tutorial: Step by step

Step 1 Separate screen

We will start by removing the two Pentalobe 0.8 screws (TS1) that we will find in the lower part. This will allow us to open the screen, for that we will pull the latter and the casing to separate them.

With the tool that we show, it will be very simple and the flex of the home button will not be in danger. In case of not having it, we will have to carry out this step with great care.
