iPhone 11 Rear-Facing Cameras Replacement

Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.

Remove the two 6.7 mm-long pentalobe screws at the bottom edge of the iPhone.

Use a hairdryer or heat gun or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the lower edge of the iPhone for about a minute.

If the plastic depth gauge is attached at the center of the iSclack, remove it now—it's not needed for larger iPhones like the iPhone 11.

Position the suction cups near the bottom edge of the iPhone—one on the front, and one on the back.

Press both suction cups firmly into place.

Hold onto your iPhone securely and close the handle of the iSclack to slightly separate the screen from the rear case of the phone.

Insert an opening pick into the gap under the display on the lower edge of the iPhone.

Skip the next two steps.

If you're using a single suction handle, apply it to the bottom edge of the phone, while avoiding the curved portion of the glass.

Pull up on the suction cup with firm, constant pressure to create a slight gap between the front panel and rear case.

Insert an opening pick into the gap.

Slide the opening pick around the lower left corner and up the left edge of the iPhone, slicing through the adhesive holding the display in place.

Re-insert your pick at the bottom edge of the iPhone, and slide it up the right side to continue separating the adhesive.

Gently pull the right edge of the display down slightly (in the direction of the Lightning port).

Insert your pick into the top-right corner of the phone.

Continue pulling the display down (toward the Lightning port) as needed in order to make a gap large enough for the pick.

Slide the pick to the top left corner and cut any remaining adhesive securing the display.

Pull the small nub on the suction cup to detach it from the front panel.

If you used an iSclack and it's still affixed to the iPhone, remove it now.

Open the iPhone by swinging the display up from the left side, like the back cover of a book.

Prop the display up against something sturdy.

To access the screws in the following step, tilt the display by slightly lifting its lower edge.

Use a Y000 driver to remove the three 1.1 mm-long screws securing the battery connector bracket.

Remove the bracket.

Use a spudger or a clean fingernail to pry the battery connector up from its socket on the logic board.

Bend the connector slightly away from the logic board to prevent it from accidentally contacting the socket.

Use a Y000 driver to remove the five 1.1 mm screws securing the logic board cover bracket.

Remove the bracket.

Use a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the LCD panel cable connector.

Disconnect the digitizer connector next to it.

Use the point of a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the front panel sensor assembly connector.

Remove the display assembly.

Remove the two Phillips screws securing the rear camera cover:

One 1.4 mm screw

One 1.3 mm screw

Lift the camera cover from the edge closest to the battery, and remove it.

Use a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the two camera cable connectors by prying them straight up from their sockets.

Insert the point of a spudger at the bottom right corner of the camera, between the camera assembly and the iPhone's frame.

Gently pry up to lever the camera out of the iPhone.

Remove the rear-facing camera assembly.
