iPhone 11 Pro Max Rear-Facing Cameras Replacement

Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.

Remove the two 6.7 mm-long pentalobe screws at the bottom edge of the iPhone.

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.

If the plastic depth gauge is attached at the center of the iSclack, remove it now—it's not needed for larger iPhones like the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

Position the suction cups near the bottom edge of the iPhone—one on the front, and one on the back.

Press both suction cups firmly into place.

Hold onto your iPhone securely and close the handle of the iSclack to slightly separate the screen from the rear case of the phone.

Insert an opening pick into the gap under the display on the lower edge of the iPhone.

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 curved portion 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.

Re-insert your pick at the bottom edge of the iPhone, and slide it up the right side to continue separating the adhesive.

Gently pull the right edge of the display down slightly (in the direction of the Lightning port).

Insert your pick into the top-right corner of the phone.

Continue pulling the display down (toward the Lightning port) as needed in order to make a gap large enough for the pick.

Slide the pick to the top left corner and cut any remaining adhesive securing the display.

Pull on the small nub on the suction cup to remove it from the front panel.

If you used an iSclack and it's still affixed to the iPhone, remove it now.

Open the iPhone by swinging the display up from the left side, like the back cover of a book.

Lean the display against something to keep it propped up while you're working on the phone.

Remove two 1.3 mm long Y000 screws securing the battery cover bracket.

Remove the bracket.

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 Y000 driver to remove six 1.3 mm screws securing the logic board cover bracket.

Remove the bracket.

Use a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the OLED panel cable connector.

Use a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the front sensor assembly cable connector.

Use a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the digitizer cable connector.

Remove the display assembly.

Use a Y000 driver to remove the two 1.5 mm screws on the left side of the rear camera cover.

Remove the Face ID flex cable bracket.

Use a Y000 driver to remove the two 1.2 mm screws securing the rear camera cover.

Lift the camera cover from the edge closest to the battery, and remove it.

Use a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the first two camera cable connectors by prying them straight up from their sockets.

Use a spudger to disconnect the third camera—its connector lies underneath the cable you disconnected in the previous step.

Slide the point of your spudger under the left edge of the camera assembly.

Gently lift up to lever the cameras out of the iPhone.

Remove the rear-facing camera assembly.
