If your iPhone 12 screen is cracked, not responding to touch, or not showing a picture when your phone is powered on, use this guide to restore your iPhone to working order with a new screen, a.k.a. display assembly.
The combined earpiece speaker + sensor assembly affixed to the back of the display is paired to your individual iPhone from the factory, so you must transfer it from your old display to your new one during any display replacement. It contains the flood illuminator, which is part of the biometric Face ID security feature. If it is damaged or replaced, Face ID will cease to function, so take extra care not to damage any of these components during this procedure. If damaged, only Apple or an Apple-authorized technician can restore Face ID function.
Note: True Tone functionality is disabled after a screen replacement, even when using an original Apple screen.
What you need
-
-
Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.
-
Remove the two 6.75 mm long pentalobe P2 screws at the bottom edge of the iPhone.
-
-
-
If your iPhone has a cracked screen, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping over the glass.
-
Lay overlapping strips of packing tape over the iPhone's display until the whole face is covered.
-
If the broken glass makes it difficult to get a suction cup to stick in the next few steps, try folding a strong piece of tape (such as duct tape) into a handle and lifting the display with that instead.
-
-
-
Use a hairdryer or heat gun or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the lower edge of the iPhone for about a minute in order to soften up the adhesive underneath.
-
-
-
Pull the blue handle towards the hinge to disengage opening mode.
-
Position the suction cups near the bottom edge of the iPhone—one on the front, and one on the back.
-
Push down on the cups to apply suction to the desired area.
-
-
-
Push the blue handle away from the hinge to engage opening mode.
-
Turn the handle clockwise until you see the cups start to stretch.
-
Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and present an opening gap.
-
Insert an opening pick under the screen when the Anti-Clamp creates a large enough gap.
-
Skip the next two steps.
-
-
-
If you're using a single suction handle, apply it to the bottom edge of the phone, while avoiding the very edge of the glass.
-
-
-
Pull up on the suction cup with firm, constant pressure to create a slight gap between the front panel and rear case.
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap.
-
-
-
Slide the opening pick around the lower left corner and up the left edge of the iPhone, slicing through the adhesive holding the display in place.
-
-
-
-
Open the iPhone by swinging the display up from the right side, like the front cover of a book.
-
Lean the display against something to keep it propped up while you're working on the phone.
-
-
-
Remove two 1.1 mm long Y000 screws securing the battery and display connector cover.
-
-
-
Use a spudger or a clean fingernail to pry the battery connector up from its socket on the logic board.
-
Bend the connector slightly away from the logic board to prevent it from accidentally making contact with the socket and providing power to the phone during your repair.
-
-
-
Use a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the display cable connector.
-
-
-
Use a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the digitizer cable connector.
-
-
-
Use a Y000 driver to remove four screws securing the front sensor connector cover.
-
Three 1.1 mm long screws
-
One 1.4 mm long screw
-
-
-
Swing the cover up from the left until the small clip on the right unhooks.
-
Remove the cover.
-
-
-
Use a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the front sensor assembly cable connector.
-
-
-
Remove the four screws securing the speaker/sensor assembly to the back of the display.
-
Two 1.4 mm long Phillips screws
-
One 1.7 mm long shouldered Y000 screw
-
One 1.2 mm long Y000 screw
-
-
-
Use the point of a spudger to gently pry up the top edge of the speaker.
-
Flip the speaker assembly over—down and away from the top edge of the display.
-
-
-
Use a hair dryer or heat gun or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the top front of the display for 1-2 minutes, in order to soften the adhesive securing the sensors.
-
-
-
Use the point of a spudger to lift and separate the ambient light sensor from its notch in the front panel.
-
Continue sliding the spudger underneath the ambient light sensor and its cable to separate the adhesive securing the cable.
-
-
-
Use the point of a spudger to lift and separate the microphone from its notch in the front panel.
-
-
-
Use the point of a spudger to lift the proximity sensor and flood illuminator module out of its notch in the front panel.
-
-
-
Remove the earpiece speaker and front sensor assembly.
-
Proximity sensor
-
Flood illuminator
-
The module must be positioned so that these components are not obstructed by any adhesive.

i am trying to source a replacement screen for my iPhone 12 that needs a new digitizer and battery. My main concern is since I cannot purchase an original part from apple and have to resort to eBay they have several option;
Lcd / Oled soft / Oled hard / Incell lcd??
I asssumed the 12 came with the oled screen and I’m worried that if I put a non original type screen it could damage phone after awhile?
what digitizer should I get?
Hi, I would recommend looking at places like Fixez.com rather than Ebay. Their prices are lower and they have a LCD buyback program which is very helpful. They have a wide ranging variety of LCD's. On a scale of best to worst LCD's its ranges: OLED Soft,OLED Hard, Incell LCD, LCD. I hope this helps
Hi there,
I have read that by installing an aftermarket screen, I would get a non-genuine display message. Has Apple addressed this issue?
Than
Genuine components have chips that allow the phone to identify them - third party ones frequently do not. The phone is doing what it is designed to do so there isn’t really anything for Apple to address. Much as anything it’s to stop companies refurbishing iPhone’s ‘in-house’ and selling them as having genuine parts. The non genuine part message is t inherently a bad thing, it’s an advisory rather than an error.
Hi, I lent my grandson my iphone 12 and I got it back with a broken screen and a broken back glass. I have another iphone 12 for parts. I was going to swap out the screen and the back glass. My question is do I have to remove all these parts as described above or c an I just plug the new screen in ? Second question my iphone has a Qlink wireless SIM card in it and it works perfect. The same SIM card will not work in my other iphone that being said would it be easier to somehow take my other iphone and use the parts from my broken one so the SIM card would work in it? I don't know what it would entail to do such a thing but if you would possibly know what I would have to do to make this happen please let me know... Otherwise I will take the screen and back glass and continue to install them on my own phone. also which procedure would be easier to do?? Kudos to you on this article I followed it to the letter and everything worked perfect I removed the screen without any problems. GREAT ARTICLE! Thanks Jeffrey
