It is a pain to remove. Isopropyl alcohol makes it brittle and hard to gather to remove. The key is to remove the adhesive quickly after opening the device. Either remove the screen as quickly as you can without damaging cables, or prop the screen against a stable box or tool bag and remove the adhesive right after opening.
Yeah, he really just ran through that part. I’m sitting here holding the display in my hand over and over again that video. I wondered do you have to take every single bit of the old adhesive off? I’ll find out in a little while though.
Why is it that all ifixit repair videos make the claim of true tone not being able to work after the screen replacement? I had my screen replaced today from an LCD to an original OEMOLED screen and we were simply able to copy over the serial number and all the other features of the old display over to the new display and now my new OLED display has true tone enabled! So why does IFIXIT keep making this claim when everyone knows you can use a simple programmer to resolve this issue! Is it simply because ifixit does not make the programmer available or refuses to showcase the programmer in action? What is the reason that ifixit makes this claim continually despite the actual truth?
Love how all these videos use pre opened devices. Not one trace of adhesive on the opening pick. Should use one that hasn't been opened to show what it's really like. Maybe less people would damage their devices.
I was doing this and I broke the old screen. It is not as easy at is seems in the video When I removed the old screen I broke the faceID sensor Be careful people
Don’t you need a programing device so that the phone can work with it or is that just for other parts because when the iPhone 12’s first came out a guy swapped the logic boards and said you’d have to have something to program the phone to recognize it otherwise things wouldn’t work
😊hey saw that no one answered you but for me when I replaced my screen I just went to the settings and turned true tone back on then turned it off again (because I dont use it, it drains the battery too much)
I’m wondering why you’re not suggesting or mentioning in this video to reprogrammed the serial number from original screen to the new screen using certain tools ?
@@1010TienTien if you care about true tone, you take it to either Apple, it a third party repairer with a program. The cheaper ones are like $400 so doubt many people want to buy one to DIY
Is there any tips to remove the adhesive a lot easier. I've been trying to lift the bottom part of the screen off for over an hour. I already heated up and used my iOpener more than 10 times on the screen and it just doesnt seem to budge. It's so frustrating. I would almost rather buy a completely new if i cant open up the screen ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
The 12 pro appears ti have more screen connections you need to remove, like what the video is showing. I'm changing a regular iPhone 12 and there seems to be no camera/mic/speaker assemble attached to the screen, there's nothing to unscrew from the old screen and the new one looks exactly the same. At first I thought I cut thru a cable but there isn't anything damaged. I wish they would specify the differences.
At the last stage of putting the screen back on, you mentioned it should clip into place, my daughters screen has stopped working but doesn't look like it had its adhesive replaced so it kinds just falls out, it doesn't clip, so is just the adhesive that holds it together, cause I don't see any clips. Going to get a replacement and sort it myself but hoping the adhesive will keep the screen intact.
Is it possible for damage to the top right of the screen to cut through the ribbon cable to the speaker and sensor assembly? Looking at the back of the screen, there is no damage.
If the speaker and sensor assembly was swapped over from the old screen, it should still work. If it was replaced, face-id will NOT work, and will need to be programmed.
i know iphone 12 lcd will not come out easily i tried the same way .and with suction cup there is 90% chance that touch will not work after u open the lcd
What happens if I ripped the camera cable that’s attached to the phone, the very last cable connected before you were able to remove the entire screen. I’ve done a million iPhone 11 replacements, this is my first 12. For some reason, I assumed it would open to the left like the 11 and ripped that cable. I’m assuming my camera is just shot now. Are am I able to buy just that part?

After display Replacement, you will get error of non original screen, that message can be removed with microsoldering work, moving a unique eeprom from the old screen to the new screen.
Only Apple can make it so complicated , 3 different screws and different length as well, more that 100 screw in total, why android phones use only Philips screws and all same size ???
It would help if you showed a broken screen being removed there's nothing wrong with it which make it easier to get off peeps try take it with this method when it got the most almighty crack in it isn't going to cut the mustard you need adhesive strips maybe glued on use uv glue then it will adhere God sake the amount of vids not displaying this.

So I can buy an aftermarket display, an do all the work myself and lose true tone from you all for 499.00.. or I can send it to apple, have it replaced by them, with a oem screen, for 279.00.. hmm yeah.. pass.

@@af252 i guess thats true it, can happen whenever but i think most people when they first get an expensive new device tend to baby it, and as it gets older, thats when they are less careful. ifixit also might have waited a little since parts weren’t available at first anyways, and they probably wanted to make sure they knew the best way to teach us how to fix it. but ur right, it can happen whenever
you showing the close up camera shots of which screws are used circled in red and yellow was very very helpful

True Tone & Face ID work? after changed 3rd party iPhone 12 Pro screen?
Same question...
You can get true tone and face ID to work now, but you have to buy a genuine screen. 3rd party screens won't work properly.
So what screen should I get to replace my iPhone 12
The 12 pro appears ti have more screen connections you need to remove, like what the video is showing.

after doing this fix, will you get a notification on the phone saying not genuine screen? or anything else that we need to be aware of?
Ios 18 added the ability to get rid of the non genuine messages, as long as you use a genuine display.
Hey dude he didn't show us what to put in between the class and the bottom screen what glue to use like where what shall do you use for iPhone 12 pro max. Does it just click back in screw it in
Will that “Display not recognized” message eventually go away?
Will this permanently disable the True Tone or will it come back over time?
Making sure not to insert your pick more than a few millimeters... 😳

Now a programmer to keep truetone is no longer needed you just need ios 18 and a genuine part
