Introduction

Step 1

              Pentalobe Screws
  • 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 3.4 mm pentalobe 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.

Can anyone confirm 7/7P’s pentalobe screws have a ring of seal near the screw head?

Harry Rowse - Jun 29, 2017

Hey Cooper,

There is no seal on the screw. The head of the screw simply pushes against the lip of the screw well, without using any sort of pneumatic seal, o-ring etc.

As Talon says, it is part of the casing.

I not recall seeing one. If there is one I would expect it to be part of the casing.
