Description:

Steps:

1. The earpiece speaker has an adhered antenna that must be transferred to the new speaker.
2. Insert an opening pick between the antenna and the earpiece speaker.
3. Slide the pick under the antenna and pry up to separate the adhesive securing it.
4. Remove the antenna.

5. Align the gasket on the earpiece speaker with its sound channel.
6. Press the earpiece speaker onto the frame so it lies flat.

7. Use a Phillips #000 driver to install the five screws securing the earpiece speaker:
8. Two 1.1 mm‑long screws
9. Three 1.6 mm‑long screws

10. Slide the front camera assembly into its recess in the frame.
11. Set the assembly down so it lies flat.

12. Use the flat end of a spudger or your finger to connect the front camera and earpiece speaker press connectors.

13. The 5G mmWave antenna is only present in United States & Puerto Rico model iPhones (model A2846). If you're repairing another model, skip the next two steps.
14. Remove any leftover adhesive from the underside of the antenna.
15. Install a small square of thin, double-sided tape onto the underside of the 5G mmWave antenna.
16. Use tweezers to remove the adhesive liner.

17. Align the 5G mmWave antenna with its connector and spot on the earpiece speaker.
18. Use your finger or a spudger to connect the antenna's press connector, then press the antenna itself onto the earpiece speaker to secure it.
