Advice for re-assembly: Before closing up the phone with the seal, check if phone is powering up again and speaker, mic and sensors are still working. If done this check even before installing the board connector bracket in Step 13.

This looks different on my iPhone X. There’s no clip. It turns out that the replacement screen is NOT compatible with my iPhone. See my comment on Step 23. Must be a different HW revision. The whole front sensor assembly casting is a bit different. After replacing 2 screens of older iPhone generations this is my first failure due to HW incompatibility. From here on forward I probably won’t attempt another major smart phone repair. Technology is getting to complex for DIY. Will buy an iPhone 13 Pro with insurance (even though it’s utterly overpriced and I always like the DIY challenge)…

FYI - The sensor assembly of the replacement looks a bit different from my original one. The screw is located further to the right on the original. As a result, I am unable to attach the sensor assembly on the replacement part, because the fixture is at a different position.

Unfortunately, there’s nothing I can do about it apart asking for a refund.

I replaced the display with the iFixit replacement part. The replacement procedure was a piece of cake. However, the quality of the display is sub-par compared to the original. First thing I recognize was that the you cannot look at the display from even a small angle. Secondly, it is not scratch resistent. And worst of all, it broke after 3 month. I had it in my pant’s pocket together with my keys. Somehow, the keys cracked the screen at the top at the mic slot rendered the phone unusable. That’s it. I am will bite the bullet and take the phone to Apple and have the display replaced with the original Apple part. Too bad Apple does not allow other companies to sell ORIGINAL parts.
