The problem you are hitting is the limits of most soldering irons. They are just too massive given the size of some of the SMT components used in iPhones & iPads.

This is were a different approach is used. Instead of using solder wire we use Solder Paste and using a Hot Air Rework Station instead of an iron.

lit, the ST7 is the smallest tip for your Weller. You may have to look into getting a different station.
