I have an iphone x and was trying to replace my screen. On the left is the screen i received - it seems to have support brackets all the way around and does not fit my phone. However, my original screen does not have these brackets and is flat all the way around. Does anyone know what my problem is + why my iphone x seems to be different than the normal one?

if this is the correct screen…how are these tabs supposed to fit into what looks to be a flat bracket covering?

also comparing other iphones online, mine looks to be a bit different with this top area as well? anyone know whats going on here?

Wanted to add for anyone else who finds this thread, if you’re under warranty, Apple with service your device for this issue. I went to an Apple Store a few hours away, told them about the issue, and they took it in for about 3 hours and fixed it for free. They replaced the Taptic Engine and bottom speaker according to the service report.

I have found out that the connector can be replaced, but will require micro-soldering. At this point it’s more or less practice, because he’s gonna just buy a new phone if I cant fix it, but it would be awesome to get it working again.

I was wondering if anyone here has any input on the difficulty/requirements of this job, because I can’t seem to find anything about it online. I guess my main questions are: will I need to open up the “sandwich” of the board to replace this connector, and what type of solder should be used for this job? Also if there’s anything else I should look out for or be careful about to do this job successfully.

Thanks :)

I had my iPhone X ear piece speaker stop working the other day. I bought a replacement Earpiece Speaker and Sensor Assembly for my model phone off of ifixit, and just replaced it today. After swapping it, turning the phone on, I got the message pop up saying “Unavailable to activate face ID on this phone”. I then go into my face ID settings, attempt to set it up, but then get the message “Face ID is not available, try setting up face ID later”. The ear speaker is now working fine, but face ID is not. I opened it back up, verified all the connections are good, re-seated all of them, checked the sensors, made sure they were all clean, no prints or dirt, but still no luck. Could the replacement I got have a bad sensor? Anybody have any other suggestions at all?

Thanks!
