  • We had to remove 6 Phillips #00 screws to separate the glass from the LCD.

  • The glass (with integrated touch sensors and chips) is underneath, while the LCD is being removed.

  • In the previous iPhone, the display was fairly monolithic. A number of components were connected together via the display assembly-- now the display just connects to the main board. Hopefully this will make obtaining replacement parts easier-- we've had trouble getting quality supplies of iPhone displays to sell.
