  1. iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement, Remove the pentalobe screws: passo 1, immagine 1 di 1
    • 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 3.5 mm pentalobe screws on 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.

    • 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 just above the home button—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.

  3. iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 3, immagine 1 di 3 iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 3, immagine 2 di 3 iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 3, immagine 3 di 3
    • Pull the blue handle forwards 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.

  4. iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 4, immagine 1 di 2 iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 4, immagine 2 di 2
    • 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.

    • 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.

  5. iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement, Heat the display: passo 5, immagine 1 di 1
    • The next three steps show how to separate the screen using a suction cup.

    • Heating the lower edge of the iPhone will help soften the adhesive securing the display, making it easier to open.

    • Use a hairdryer or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the lower edge of the phone for about 90 seconds in order to soften up the adhesive underneath.

    • Apply a suction cup to the lower half of the front panel, just above the home button.

    • Be sure the suction cup does not overlap with the home button, as this will prevent a seal from forming between the suction cup and front glass.

  7. iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 7, immagine 1 di 3 iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 7, immagine 2 di 3 iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 7, immagine 3 di 3
    • 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.

    • The watertight adhesive holding the screen 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.

  8. iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 8, immagine 1 di 3 iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 8, immagine 2 di 3 iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 8, immagine 3 di 3
    • Slide the opening pick up the left edge of the phone starting at the lower edge and moving towards the volume control buttons and silent switch, breaking up the adhesive holding the display in place.

    • Stop near the top left corner of the display.

    • Do not try to pry the top edge of the display away from the rear case, as it is held in place by plastic clips that may break.

  9. iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement, Screen information: passo 9, immagine 1 di 1
    • There are delicate cables along the right edge of your iPhone. Don't insert your pick here, as you may damage the cables.

  10. iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 10, immagine 1 di 3 iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 10, immagine 2 di 3 iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 10, immagine 3 di 3
    • Re-insert your tool at the lower right corner of the iPhone, and slide it around the corner and up the right side of the phone to separate the adhesive.

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

  11. iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 11, immagine 1 di 2 iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 11, immagine 2 di 2
    • Gently pull up on the suction cup to lift up the bottom edge of the display.

    • Do not raise the display more than 15º or you'll risk straining or tearing the ribbon cables connecting the display.

    • Pull on the small nub on the suction cup to remove it from the front panel.

    • Slide an opening pick underneath the display around the top left corner and along the top edge of the phone to loosen the last of the adhesive.

  13. iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 13, immagine 1 di 2 iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 13, immagine 2 di 2
    • Slide the display assembly slightly down (away from the top edge of the phone) to disengage the clips holding it to the rear case.

  14. iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 14, immagine 1 di 3 iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 14, immagine 2 di 3 iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 14, immagine 3 di 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.

  15. iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement, Disconnect the battery: passo 15, immagine 1 di 2 iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement, Disconnect the battery: passo 15, immagine 2 di 2

    • Remove four Phillips screws securing the lower display cable bracket to the logic board, of the following lengths:

    • Two 1.3 mm screws

    • Two 2.8 mm screws

    • Throughout this guide, keep careful track of your screws so that each one goes back where it came from during reassembly. Installing a screw in the wrong place can cause permanent damage.

    • Remove the bracket.

  16. iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 16, immagine 1 di 2 iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 16, immagine 2 di 2
    • Use the point of a spudger to pry the battery connector out of its socket in the logic board.

    • Bend the battery connector cable 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.

  17. iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement, Disconnect the display and digitizer: passo 17, immagine 1 di 2 iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement, Disconnect the display and digitizer: passo 17, immagine 2 di 2
    • Use the point of a spudger to pry the lower display connector out of its socket.

    • To re-attach press connectors like this one, 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 even slightly misaligned, the connector can bend, causing permanent damage.

    • Use the point of a spudger to disconnect the second lower display cable.

  19. iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 19, immagine 1 di 2 iPhone 8 Display Assembly Replacement: passo 19, immagine 2 di 2
    • Remove the three 1.3 mm Phillips screws securing the bracket over the front panel sensor assembly connector.

    • Remove the bracket.

Any suggestions for cleaning/clearing the old adhesive from the phone and the best way to install the new adhesive without getting it tangled up on itself or any other phone parts??? Thx!

@a340mech Detailed instructions for the adhesive are linked in the final step.

Actually, about five minutes after I posted, I found the link. Thanks!

I used a bit of Acetone on a Q-tip to clean off the glue from the metal parts, making sure that it doesn’t touch anything plastic. Instead of the adhesive that is supplied, I installed a strip of one-sided electrical tape. I can only think of one reason for the tape in the first place and it is to keep the battery from flopping around. I figured that a strip of one-sided electrical tape would be just as good at taking up any space between the battery and the back of the display and it would have the benefit of not having to be removed next time ‘round and it would make it easier to remove the battery as well. The battery doesn’t flop around and everything works just as before. I’ve done about four of these now on iPhone 6’s and 8’s
