If your screen or back glass is badly cracked, lay overlapping strips of packing tape over the glass to protect yourself and make disassembly easier.
Just wondering about the tape. The bottom 20% of my screen it a cracked mess. If I put tape on it and then heat the bottom edge with a heat gun it seems to me that the tape will melt in this process. Is this a correct assumption?

Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark the opening pick with a permanent marker.
Got to step 2 and realized the fix kit doesn't include an opening pick! Looks like a guitar pick, and I have those lying around. Is that expected? Looks like the pick is used in many steps below. There's a little blue crowbar that isn't mentioned in the instructions. Perhaps that replaces the opening pick?
Hi! I can't see which guide you were using when writing this comment. Can you reply here with which guide and fix kit you used?
I see you posted this in Meta. I hope it's resolved soon! In the meantime, a guitar pick may work well enough for your repair.
what fix kit?
My fix kit didn't include an opening pick either
Make sure you check inside the black boxes after emptying them. My pick was stuck inside one of the boxes.
My AliExpress refurbished screen came with a pick that has a coin-like circle that pops out, so no modification was necessary
the picture shows 3 cm but the description says 3 mm's. Which one is it?
That is a misunderstanding. It is a ruler with a scale for cm, it shows 0.3 cm, i.e. 3 mm.

It will ALWAYS be millimeters on a phone, but this step is ridiculous, skip it!
@leifdewolf I wouldn't skip it for a first repair.
It's not an Ifixit KIT if it doesn't include everything. You'll need to order the opening pic separately. Or head to Walmart like myself and look for guitar pics. Hopefully, this will work just as well.
No pick in mine as well. It’s really not clear that you have to order this separately when ordering an IPhone SE 202/2022 screen repair kit. Is this the case?
Frustrated, I ordered a compact package where everything was encapsulated. Useless suction tools could not separate the screen. If it is unable to decouple the screen, then why sucking suction tools you have provided.
For my kit the triangle pick was stuck inside the box with the screen not with the other tools maybe it's also there for you
Y’all are getting far, FAR too detailed with some of this stuff…. Measuring and marking the pick that you won’t actually use to open the device?!? lol that’s kinda funny. Just heat it up, grab a spudger, and the back just pops right off! The iFixit tech need to stick to the KISS method more often, you know KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID!!! Like l, for reals, I’ve been doing this stuff for YEARS and using iFixit guides regularly and this is just ridiculous at this point!
Will the phone still work if the sensor assembly on the back of the screen is damaged?
I don't have a pick, but how much better are these picks than an old credit card for opening an iPhone 13 mini?
The pick in my iFixIt kit was packed with the battery, not with the rest of the toolkit.

Is there a recommended source for getting a new back glass? Either OEM or non-OEM.
I’m looking for the same answer can’t find oem quality back glass of iphone
Great instructions, but where do we get a new replacement back glass from? Please suggest.
Apple's OEM parts are available through SelfServiceRepair.com, including the back glass for this iPhone. None of the aftermarket stores I'd generally recommend carry this part, but it looks like there's quite a few options on marketplace sites. The best advice I can give there is to look at seller reviews, and when possible, feedback for that specific part. Best of luck!
