Introduction: Hello everyone, it’s Simon here. In this tutorial, I’m excited to guide you through the process of replacing a cracked front screen on an iPhone 12 Pro. This step-by-step guide is designed to help you confidently perform the replacement at home.

Tools Needed:

• 0.8 Pentalobe screwdriver
• Metal prying tool
• Tri-point (Y) screwdriver
• Phillips screwdriver (PH000 size)

Steps for Screen Replacement:

1. Removing Bottom Screws:
   • Start by removing the two screws at the bottom of your iPhone with the 0.8 Pentalobe screwdriver. If a screw is missing, proceed with the existing one.
2. Detaching the Screen:
   • Use a metal prying tool to gently separate the screen from the phone’s frame. Apply minimal depth to avoid internal damage.
   • Optionally, use a heat gun to soften the adhesive for easier removal.
3. Disconnecting the Battery and Screen:
   • Switch to the tri-point screwdriver to remove the screws securing the battery and screen connectors.
   • Carefully disconnect the battery followed by the screen connectors.
4. Transferring Proximity Sensor and Speaker:
   • Remove the screws holding the proximity sensor and front speaker using the Phillips screwdriver.
   • Gently detach the Flex cable and transfer the proximity sensor and speaker to the new screen.
5. Reassembly:
   • Attach the new screen by reconnecting the Flex cables. Ensure they are properly aligned before pressing to connect.
   • Reattach the battery connector and secure the brackets back in place with their respective screws.
6. Final Steps:
   • Align the top of the screen first when placing it back onto the phone. Ensure it fits into place before pressing down the edges.
   • Finish by reinstalling the two screws at the bottom of the phone.

Conclusion: Replacing the front screen of your iPhone 12 Pro can be a straightforward process with the right tools and patience. Take your time with each step, especially when handling the Flex cables and the reattachment of the new screen.

Tips and Warnings:

• Be gentle when prying open the screen to avoid damaging the internals.
• Keep track of screws and their respective places, as they vary in size.
• Ensure the connectors are properly aligned before pressing to avoid damaging the pins.
• Test the functionality of the phone before sealing the screen completely.
