Use the iFixit opening tools to gently wedge the front screen from the rest of the device.
-
Try to focus on the corners to make it easier to insert and use the iFixit opening picks.
-
It is also recommended to use the iOpener or a heat gun to weaken the adhesive that holds the edges of the screen down.
-
The screen is glass, so when using force to lift the screen, be cautious of cracked glass and stray shards of glass coming off.
