Step Lines

[* black] Remove the metal handle from the suction cup. It's easier and safer to grip the suction cup's base instead of the metal handle.
+[* black] Use a strip of duct tape on the other end as a sort of hinge, to avoid yanking out the connectors abruptly.
[* icon_caution] Be very careful when opening the iPhone so that the cables under the display are not severed.
-[* icon_note] There is a rubber gasket between the silver front bezel and black display assembly. A bit of force is required in this step to separate the iPhone's display assembly.
-[* black] Use a small suction cup near the Home button to gently pull up the bottom portion of the iPhone's display assembly.
