4. Power off your phone and disconnect the charger and any peripheries before beginning disassembly.
5. Lay the phone face down.
6. Heat an iOpener and apply it to the rear case.
7. Alternatively, use a hair dryer to heat the rear case until it's almost too hot to touch.

16. Use an opening tool to lift and disconnect the two antenna cables.

17. Use an opening tool to lift and disconnect the press connector.

18. Use a T4 Torx screwdriver to remove the 3 mm screw that secures the charging port.

19. Carefully grab the charging port and slightly tilt it upwards.

21. The cable might get in the way. If it does, carefully fold it upwards and out of the way. To prevent damaging it, do not force the cable to move in any direction. It should be able to be bent upwards with minimal force.
