How to disassemble iPhone at home. How to disassemble Iphone at home 00095 a iphone 6 where is it
Worldwide. As usual, the guys from the iFixit team were the first to get hold of the new items and took them apart. To do this, they went to distant Australia and stood in a long line.
You hardly need disassemble iPhone 6 so soon, however, the situations are different and it is better to be prepared for self-repair and replacement of components in advance.
Using a special pentalobe screwdriver (you can use the proprietary 54 Bit Driver Kit), we unscrew at least “pentalobe” screws. Too bad Apple uses non-standard screws. The good thing is that the device does not need to be heated for parsing. Thank you anyway.
Next, we open the phone using a suction cup, or a special adhesive tape that leaves no traces (the guys from iFixit use a special iSlack tool). At home, it is better to hold the phone over a soft surface and in two hands, and, of course, not to do this while hanging.
The next step involves the unusual use of a boomerang. We recommend that you perform it exclusively under the supervision of a qualified specialist, since the use of a boomerang at home can harm not only the device, but also you and your loved ones. But let's be serious! Best for turning off all loops normal fit mediatr, like any other plastic without sharp edges. Turn off the display cable and move on.
Inside are plenty of standard Philips screws. But a good set of screwdrivers from your local radio store will help with any type of screw. Using a simple screwdriver, we deal with the metal plate that holds the front panel.
Remove the Home button from the front panel. For this, the pliers from the manicure set are ideal.
We turn off the cables and remove the front camera and speaker for a detailed study.
To remove the battery, again use the plastic pick. If everything is done correctly, it will allow quickly and without mechanical damage remove the battery.
The iPhone 6 uses a 3.82V 1810mAh Li-Ion battery. On one side of it is indicated the power of 6.91 watts / hour, and on the other - 7.01. It seems that the engineers managed to improve the performance after the text for printing on one side was approved.
We take out the rear camera with tweezers.
We turn off and remove all antennas.
Hooray, we got to the motherboard! First we need to remove the protection from electromagnetic impulses to find out what's inside. So let's do it.
Now we remove the vibration motor module.
There are two types of vibration motors - counterweighted and linearly oscillating. Which ones are better? According to the guys at iFixit, answering this question is as difficult as choosing between Pepsi and Coke. It seems that this time Apple has opted for a linear oscillating type.
This year appearance dynamics have changed slightly. True, the lack of marking suggests that the changes compared to the speaker of the previous model are insignificant.
The charging and headphone jacks make up one module and are placed on the same cable. This means that you cannot replace one connector separately, only together. Of course, from a repairability point of view, this is a disadvantage, but for Apple, this saves precious space inside the device.
The last thing left to remove is the power buttons and the volume rocker. The tweezers will help us with this again.
That's all. On the iFixit repairability scale, the iPhone 6 scores 7 out of 10.
Such a high score is explained by the following factors:
+ The display module separates first, which simplifies the screen replacement procedure (the most common failure)
+ The battery is easy to change. All you need to do is unscrew the pentalobe screws and carefully remove the plastic seals.
+ The fingerprint sensor cable no longer interferes with opening the device (in 5S it could be very easily damaged)
- iPhone 6 still uses non-standard pentalobe screws that require special screwdrivers
- Apple does not share information on iPhone repair 6 with unauthorized independent workshops and customers
We have already bought refurbished iPhones from AliExpress. Outwardly, they looked like devices after a year of careful operation, but inside we were in for surprises: strange copies of screens with distorted colors instead of the original ones, batteries worn out by life, wheezing in the dynamics.
I want to go on an adventure! What will I need?
Motherboard. This is the main part of the smartphone that you will need to assemble the iPhone 7. Look for it in AliExpress search on request iPhone 7 logic board.
Please note that there are 2 types of lots in the search results: with and without Touch ID. The last option is not for you, with the help of it a fully functional device cannot be assembled, not only with all the desire, but also at any level of skills.
The fact is that the Touch ID fingerprint sensor is tied to the motherboard at the hardware level. It won't work to give her another one. If you set something to the left, you can use it as nothing more than a Home button.
This is why you also need to look at the Touch ID color. Changing the sensor separately will not work, so you need to immediately choose black or white.
The motherboard is a complex spare part on which a large number of components are installed. In this case, you should be most concerned about the amount of memory: 32, 128 or 256 GB. It is from him that the cost of the component most of all depends.
See that you are not slipped motherboard, locked to some operator. Read about all this in the description of the lot on AliExpress.
Frame. This part of the future iPhone 7 will be responsible for the tactile experience of using the device. The more expensive and high-quality part you buy, the more complete your impressions will be. Search by request iPhone 7 rear case.
Almost all sellers on AliExpress put the necessary additional parts in the package. What comes with the case:
- SIM tray
- Volume buttons
- Power button
- Mode switch
The fact is that it is almost impossible to match external parts from one manufacturer in color to another, so do not try to save money and look for them separately.
Also note that the Touch ID sensor that comes with motherboard, should match everything else in color - black for black models and white for everyone else.
However, you can put together some interesting color option. For example, you can combine white and black components and get a stylish gadget with black back and Touch ID, as well as a white front panel.
By the way, the camera eye is already installed on each normal case, so you don’t have to buy it separately.
Button loop. Search by request "iPhone 7 Power and Volume Control Cable". It is needed to connect buttons and other components.
Display. You will need search query "iPhone 7 OEM display". It is very important to specify the OEM in order to end up with the highest quality screen.
However, be mentally prepared for the fact that the screen may differ slightly from the original. It may have slightly different colors, it may be less bright and responsive.
The good news is that modern iPhone displays are assembled. In addition to the screen itself, you also get glass with a built-in touch panel. This increases the cost of repairs, but simplifies the assembly of a real Apple smartphone from spare parts from AliExpress.
Display protection. Look for her on request iPhone 7 LCD Shield Plate. It attaches to the screen assembly, holds other components and protects it from heat and other negative influences.
Battery. Look for it on demand iPhone 7 battery. Ignore the cheapest options and don't try to find a battery increased capacity- all this will not lead to good.
The normal battery capacity for the iPhone 7 is 1960 mAh, and start from this. Most sellers warn that the real one may differ slightly, but the difference is rarely more than 10% up or down.
Complete set of screws. Search by request iPhone 7 screw set. So you will find a package with all the screws needed to assemble the device.
main camera. What is an iPhone without a main camera? Search for a suitable option on request iPhone 7 rear camera.
Do not chase the cheapest options, you do not need them. Fortunately, for a 7-ki camera, replacements are already very cheap.
Front-camera. Search for the necessary spare part on request iPhone 7 front camera. Everything else is similar to the main camera.
Please note that all the necessary additional sensors (lighting, proximity) are already included in the front camera module.
Speaker. Look for it on demand iPhone 7 earpiece speaker.
This thing is useful to you not only to make voice calls. No, this is another speaker to create a stereo effect while playing music.
Main speaker. Look for this spare part on request iPhone 7 speaker, but in no case do not confuse the main speaker with the earpiece.
Of course, the Chinese counterpart is unlikely to play as well as the original. However, our experience shows that there is a difference, but it is not super critical.
Lightning port. Look for it on demand iPhone 7 connector. The port will be needed to charge the device and connect accessories to it.
For some reason, most sellers on AliExpress sell this part not in one piece, but in a lot of 5-10. But you can find what you need.
This spare part also includes the main microphone for the iPhone.
Vibration motor. In general, the iPhone 7 has not a simple vibration motor installed, but a special tactile Taptic Engine. However, for such a query on AliExpress you will not find anything for legal reasons, and here is the correct one - iPhone 7 vibration.
Be prepared for the fact that the tactile feedback from such a decision may not be as pleasant as the original.
WiFi antenna. Search by request iPhone 7 wifi antenna. The scope of delivery usually includes all related spare parts.
Iron set. Search by request iPhone 7 metal plate. It is useful for connecting components to each other and other tasks.
Screwdriver Set. In the package with almost every part for iPhone with Aliexpress sellers put a few screwdrivers, so in the end you will have such a large set that you won’t need additional ones.
Moreover, with a high probability you will collect everything together not on your own, but in a service where all these tools are already enough.
Additional accessories. Headphones, chargers and other accessories buy at your discretion.
(Spare parts cost structure for assembly)
I took more or less average values for all the components that I could find on AliExpress to assemble a real 128 GB iPhone 7. The intermediate amount is about 28,380 rubles. Nevertheless, you need to add to it the work of a master who will assemble your device and add the missing details. Approximate total - 30 thousand rubles
Of course, the most expensive spare part was by no means the screen or case, but the motherboard. On average, the 128 GB storage option will take up about 62% of the cost structure. In second place is the display (14%), and the third is shared by the case and the battery (5% each).
It turns out that, on average, about 14% falls on small parts, screws, pieces of iron and other nonsense. But to do without all this will not work with all the desire.
Most parts have free shipping, but some still have to spend some small amount, which we decided not to take into account in the calculations.
Some parts may not reach you in the proper form, and sellers may forget to put something in the kit, so some little things will have to be bought at the place of assembly. But these costs are also insignificant.
You're lying, you can't assemble a real iPhone from Chinese pieces of iron
Of course not! You're right.
However, no one says that we will assemble the iPhone entirely from Chinese replica parts, no. The fact is that in the Celestial Empire for 11 years since the appearance of the first smartphone, Apple has learned how to make all the details except for the most important thing - the motherboard.
Even the description of this part on AliExpress clearly states that it is not new. Local craftsmen just shoot motherboards with original devices , which can no longer be used for its intended purpose, wind up their interest and immediately sell. The scheme is simple.
It turns out that in fact you buy the heart of the device after some use, and only then hang it with new, but not original components. This fact removes the issue of device performance, its updates and other things. The motherboard, which was removed from a real iPhone, is responsible for all this.
If you still decide to assemble the iPhone 7 from parts from AliExpress, you can use the iFixit instructions. However, we strongly recommend that you seek the help of a qualified person who will correctly put all the pieces of the puzzle together and even fill in the missing ones if necessary.
Guys, isn't it easier to just buy a refurbished device?
We have already bought a refurbished iPhone 7 from AliExpress. The device turned out to be with traces of use, but careful. Everything inside him was original. Only the gasket was spoiled, which protected the internal components from moisture.
This used iPhone 7 cost us 25 thousand rubles. (this is with some kind of delivery kit), and assembled almost only from non-original parts pulls on all 30 thousand. In the second case, we have 128 GB, not 32, so the prices can be considered equal. So which is better?
Of course, I'm for the finished iPhone with AliExpress, but better for the official Refurbished, which is only a few thousand more expensive. It is too difficult to assemble a device from individual parts, and it is logical to do this only out of sporting interest.
Why is it so expensive to assemble a smartphone almost exclusively from non-original parts? The fact is that spare parts have always cost and will cost more than the entire device assembly. For example, some unofficial SCs even buy new macbooks for dismantling to get replacement parts, and earn on them.
Therefore, I repeat, it is better to buy ready-made devices. And getting involved in an adventure, soberly assess the possible risks and consequences.
P.S. You can also look at the cost of parts on Alibaba, they are usually cheaper there. However, this is unlikely to make the venture significantly more profitable.
This guide will help you disassemble your iPhone 6, do it carefully. iPhone 6 has glued parts. If parsing occurs with effort, then something is going wrong.

iPhone 6 Plus, brownie and iPhone 5s
It is noteworthy that during the disassembly process, gray iPhone 6 and golden iPhone 6 Plus are exactly the same colors and models as the recent smartphones for durability. It's good that iFixit was able to get their hands on a 5.5-inch iPhone, because rumor has it that it will be as rare as last year's gold iPhone 5s. But let's leave the lyrics aside and proceed to the autopsy.
To be first in the business, iFixit had to purchase smartphones in Australia, the first country where sales began. The first fall of the smartphone from the hands took place here, but that's another story.
The design of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, as noted by iFixit, is very reminiscent of the very first iPhone, also known as 2G. Model numbers A1586 and A1524 respectively. The camera does protrude, but measurements show only 0.6 mm - not much at all. As before, to open the case, you will need to remove two non-standard screws on the bottom of the device, and then disconnect the display from the rest of the device. Only one single cable at the top of the iPhone will completely prevent this from happening. There is no longer the Touch ID to Lightning cable that made it difficult to take apart the iPhone 5s. By the way, inside all the parts are already screwed with standard screws.
The internal layout of the parts is similar, except that many components are slightly wider and thinner. As we know from spy shots, the earpiece and front-camera now placed on the same loop. So far everything is sorted out like clockwork.
Let's look at batteries. In the iPhone 6, the battery has a capacity of 1810 mAh and a voltage of 3.82 V. It is noteworthy that different capacities are indicated on different sides. With one 6.91 W / h, and with the reverse already 7.01 W / h. The truth is somewhere near. The tablet uses a 2915 mAh, 3.82 V, 11.1 Wh battery. In the iPhone 5s, the battery capacity was 1560 mAh. Batteries in Apple smartphones still lithium-ion.
iPhone 6
iPhone 6 Plus
The vibration motor in the iPhone 6 Plus has moved and is now located to the right of the battery, in the iPhone 6 its location is unchanged. The camera module can be easily and naturally removed with tweezers. The changes are known. These are new 8-megapixel modules. The iPhone 6 Plus has optical image stabilization, in the iPhone 6 it is successfully replaced by electronics. Next, iFixit specialists remove the antennas to gain access to the motherboards of smartphones.
So, the iPhone 6 has a system-based A8 chip labeled APL1011. Found on the board RAM LPDDR 3 manufactured by Hynix with a capacity of 1 GB - a miracle did not happen. Qualcomm LTE modem. Chips manufactured by SkyWorks, Avago, RF Micro Devices are also used. The gyroscope is made by InvenSense. On the reverse side, flash memory manufactured by SanDisk was found. This instance has 128 GB of memory. M8 coprocessor and NFC chip with the Secure Element module were made by NXP. The iPhone 6 uses the Cirrus Logic 338S1201 audio codec.
In the iPhone 6 Plus, the motherboard is slightly different, but it has exactly the same modules as in the iPhone 6. Accordingly, the performance of smartphones will also be absolutely identical. Apparently, the A8 processor does not care what display resolution to work with.
iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus received slightly modified speakers that are devoid of any markings. But now you can replace the speaker separately from the rest of the parts - this is a plus. Again, confirming the spy shots of the components, Apple placed the Lightning connector and the headphone jack in the same module on the same cable. The volume buttons and the Power button are also a single piece. They are connected by a fairly thin loop.
Contrary to rumors, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are not waterproof. However, under Power button and the volume buttons found a rubber gasket that prevents accidental splashes or debris from entering the case. This is a step forward, but getting caught in the rain with a new smartphone in your hands is still not worth it.
iPhone 6
iPhone 6 Plus
Both new smartphones received 7 points out of 10 on a scale of maintainability. That's a point more than the iPhone 5s had last year. iFixit noted that it's still fairly easy to separate the display, change the battery quickly, and there's no longer a Touch ID to Lightning cable that could be easily damaged when opening the case. Only one drawback is indicated - the use of non-standard screws in the case. This is perhaps not the most serious problem.
By the way, all iFixit instructions for complete disassembly
