Introduction

These are the only screws on the exterior of the iPhone. They use a five-point design that is unique to Apple, requiring a specialty P2 pentalobe driver for removal.

What you need

Step 1

              Remove the screws               

• For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your phone. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
• Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.
• Remove the two 6.8 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.
