iPhone 6 Screen Assembly Replacement Process

This is an overview of the work that goes into replacing the screen assembly on an Apple iPhone 6 (4.7″). This repair was carried out in our Dundee repair centre (within the Disc Depot shop in Union Street, just off the Nethergate).

You can see that this iPhone has a broken screen, which occurred when the customer dropped their phone. (Glass can also be smashed in this way when the iPhone is hit against a hard surface).

Unlike some earlier iPhones, Apple’s iPhone 6 has the entire screen assembly (touch sensors and display) as a single unit.

Here we can see the iPhone 6 with its broken digitizer

Thanks for your interest- the touch ID will still work after replacement.
