| [* 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. | |
| [* icon_caution] Be very careful when opening the iPhone so that the cables under the display are not severed. | |

| - | [* black] Use a small suction cup near the Home button to gently pull up the bottom portion of the iPhone's display assembly. |
