Just a few turns from our Phillips and tri-point drivers and the display is free ... to hit the bench. For the full scoop on the display, check out our iPhone 8 Teardown.

Our parts testing crew reports that the 8 and 8 Plus use the exact same home button part, which should make that particular replacement part a little easier to source.

We successfully yanked 3 out of 4 adhesive tabs when removing the battery—leaving one stubbornly in place. Looks like Apple's decision to switch to four tabs from two was to avoid a sticky situation on that fancy new wireless charging coil.

Speeding right along, we pull out that factory-calibrated-for-AR dual camera unit.

These 12 MP cameras are solidly fixed together, enabling software used for portrait mode to combine images from both lenses.
