DISASSEMBLING PROCEDURE
1. First, there are two Pentalobe screws located on the bottom
of the iPhone 6, next to the lightning port, that need to be removed. Utilize
the 5-point Pentalobe screwdriver and remove the screws from the smartphone.
2.Next, place a suction cup on the display assembly near,
but not on top of, the home button. Pull up on the suction cup until there is
room to insert the plastic opening tool in the seam between the display
assembly and the rear case of the iPhone 6.
Utilizing both tools separate the display assembly from the rear case to take a peek inside the new Apple smartphone.3.Once you have separated the display assembly from the rear case, the metal cover that secures the LCD and front panel/digitizer cables will be easily accessible. Locate and remove the five small Phillips screws (#00) that secure the metal cover (marked with orange circles). Gently lift up and remove the metal cover from the iPhone 6.

4. Now, using the fine tip curved tweezers or spudger pry
up and disconnect the four connections located under the metal cover (marked
with orange rectangles). The connections are for the display assembly (LCD and touch
screen), home button assembly and front-facing camera assembly.
5. Locate and remove the two small Phillips screws (#00) that
secure the home button assembly and metal bracket to the display assembly
(marked with orange circles).
Use a heat gun or a blow dryer to soften the adhesive that secures the home
button assembly in place, and then with the fine tip curved tweezers peel up
and remove the home button assembly from the iPhone 6. The rubber gasket around
the home button is easy to tear, be careful.
6. Locate and remove the three small Phillips screws
(#00) that secure the metal bracket that protects and secures the earpiece
speaker in place (marked with orange circles).
7. Once the metal bracket is removed, lift up and remove the
earpiece speaker from the iPhone 6. Next, use the fine tip curved tweezers to
remove the front-facing assembly from the smartphone.
8. First, locate and remove the seven small Phillips
screws (#00) that secure the LCD shield to the display assembly (marked with
orange circles).
Now, use a heat gun or blow dryer to soften the adhesive that secures the home
button connector (marked with orange arrow). Carefully lift the connector from
the adhesive securing it down, and then remove the LCD shield.
SIM Card Tray
Use the SIM card ejection tool or a paper clip to remove the
SIM card tray from the iPhone 6.
Battery
1. Locate and remove the two small Phillips screws (#00) that
secure the protective metal cover over the battery connection (marked with orange
circles). Next, use the fine tip curved tweezers or the spudger to disconnect the
battery connection under the protective metal cover.2. There is adhesive that secures the battery to the rear
case of the iPhone. Use the pull tabs on the bottom of the battery to CAREFULLY
remove the battery from the smartphone.

dryer to soften the adhesive securing the battery in place and coaxing it out
with the spudger or plastic pry tool.
Rear-Facing Camera and Antenna
1.Locate and remove the two Phillips screws (#00) that secure
the metal protective cover over the rear-facing camera (marked with orange
circles). Now, use the fine tip curved tweezers to disconnect the rear-facing
camera’s cable (marked with an orange rectangle) and remove it from the iPhone
6.
2. Next, locate and remove the six Phillips screws (#00) that
secure the protective cover over the power and volume button cable connections
and antenna (marked with orange circles).
