I’ve reheated the iOpener many times and re-applied many times (timing to make sure I’m a little over the 2 minutes suggested). I also used a heatgun until the back was too hot to keep holding my hand on it (and then of course stopped at that point).
No matter what I do with the suction cup (I bought the full official repair kit) and spudger+picks, I’m not getting even a little separation.
Is this a good question?

Make sure your suction cup is right under the camera to the right and has a good grip. Start pulling and try to get your spudger in between. If you aren’t able to do it maybe ask someone else to do it.

Ok thanks, Ahron. I heated the left side and put the suction cup on the left side. Which side should I heat then if the suction cup is on the right?
I don't completely understand you but did you open the left side? If the suction cup is on the right then heat the right side up.
I heated the left side and put suction cup on the left side. There was no movement.
Sound odd maybe heat it more or use the spudger and try to stick it in as your pulling.
It seemed odd. I'm very particular about following directions/recipes. Did a lot of sticking and pulling at the same time to minimize how much more heat would be needed.
I'll try another side and hope it gives me the "in" so I can start cutting through the glue as I go around. Just can't cut without having at least a bit of a gap.

Blast lots of heat on the glass with a heat gun for several minutes. Pull up from the bottom with a suction cu and get a pick under there. Keep blowing hot air as you keep prying the glass off. It’ll come off like butter

Ok, thanks, Daniel. I started on the left side since that's what I was told by the online guide. Looks like I should try the bottom (or right side as suggested above) instead.
Would really, really like to see it come off like butter.
It will. I fix the Samsung’s all the time. You need lots of heat to lift the glass
