iPhone 8 Speaker Replacement

Introduction

The iPhone 8 speaker will be easy to get to, at least, you might think. There is one single tri-point screw that prevents most people from getting to their broken speaker. This is the second speaker replacement guild I've done, the first one being for the Motorola One 5G UW.

Insert the Jimmy into the right side of the phone. Putting the Jimmy in the middle could crack the glass and/or break the home button. Also, don't put the Jimmy into the left side because you could break the home button cable. Use a small box to prop up the display as shown in picture 3.
