Introduction
What you need
Step 1
Remove the pentalobe screws
- Caution: Before you begin, discharge your iPhone battery below 25%. A charged lithium-ion battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured.
- Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.
- Remove the two 6.75 mm long pentalobe P2 screws at the bottom edge of the iPhone.
- Opening the iPhone’s display will compromise its waterproof seals. Have replacement seals ready before you proceed past this step, or take care to avoid liquid exposure if you reassemble your iPhone without replacing the seals.

This is perfect, thank you! I wasn’t sure I’d be able to do this repair, but with this expert guidance I have succeeded. I’m ready for level 3.

well done - would you like medal
someone just pointed out the fact it says to discharge the battery -
‘Caution: Before you begin, discharge your iPhone battery below 25%. A charged lithium-ion battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured. ‘
you are removing the 2 pentalobes, not anything ‘internal’
