There is more to this repair than what you are showing. You aren’t showing us how and what to transfer off the old screen to the new one.
What components will need to be transferred over will depend on the replacement screen you receive. Some come with everything, some don't. I reference the parts iFixit sells when writing guides, and this guide will be updated if necessary once we have these screens in stock.
thanks for the article. I had a slightly different setup and your step 14 didn't address this and I tore one of the ribbon connectors that goes up tot the camera. I don't know what this is called so i don't know what to order. the ribbon that broke was the one disconnected in step 21. what is this and can it be replaced? thanks!
Hey. I changed my 13 pro max display, with the true tone and the auto brightness I also see that the display is not getting the maximum brightness level as supposed to. I see a big difference when I open the camera and switch between Video and Photo mode. Can it be fixed? Thank you!
