iPhone 17 Pro Max Back Glass Installation

Use blunt-nose tweezers or your fingers to remove large pieces of adhesive from the frame.

Use a spudger to scrape the adhesive residue off the frame.

Without peeling any liners, lay the adhesive sheet over the frame to determine its proper orientation.

Grab the tab in the corner of the adhesive sheet and peel the liner to expose a third of the adhesive.

Carefully align and press the exposed edge of the adhesive strip onto the frame.

Continue peeling away the liner from the adhesive, gently pressing the adhesive into place.

Use a spudger to press the adhesive around the entire perimeter.

Use the pull tab to peel off the large front liner from the adhesive—the pull tab is often in a corner of the liner.

Position the back glass so you can comfortably reconnect it.

Use your finger or a spudger to press and connect the back glass press connector onto the logic board.

Slide the connector cover in place so the tab on the top edge tucks under the lip.

Use a tri‑point Y000 screwdriver to install the 1.0 mm‑long screw to secure the connector cover.

Use one hand to hold the back glass up. Be careful not to strain the cable.

Use your fingers or tweezers to peel away all remaining liners, exposing the perimeter adhesive.

Align the top edge of the back glass with its cutout and lay it in place.

Use your fingers to firmly squeeze around the entire perimeter of the back glass.
