iPhone 15 Pro Max Screen Opening

Cut two strips of tape, apply them along the long edges of the phone, and fold them over the back glass to secure it.

Pull the Anti-Clamp's blue handle backward to unlock the arms.

With the screen facing up, slide the arms over the left edge of your phone, with one suction cup on the screen and the other on the back glass. Center the suction cups near the bottom edge.

Support your phone so it rests level while between the Anti-Clamp's arms—a small box works well.

Squeeze the cups together to create suction.

Pull the blue handle forward to lock the arms.

Turn the handle one full turn (360 degrees) or until the cups start to stretch.

As the cups stretch, make sure they stay vertically aligned with each other. If they tend to slip, remove the Anti-Clamp and apply tape for the cups to stick to.

Use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat the bottom edge of the screen until it's hot to the touch.

Wait up to a minute for the adhesive to separate and a gap to form between the screen and the frame.

Insert an opening pick into the gap.

Remove the Anti-Clamp using the pull tabs on the suction cups.

Skip the next two steps.

Use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat the bottom edge of the screen until it's hot to the touch.

Apply a suction handle to the bottom edge of the screen.

Pull up on the handle with a strong, steady force to create a gap between the screen and the frame.

Insert the tip of an opening pick into the gap.

There are two delicate cables connecting the screen to the phone: one just above the action button, and the other near the middle of the left edge.

There are multiple spring contacts around the perimeter of the phone. Be extra careful not to insert your pick deeper than suggested in these locations to avoid bending the contacts.

Slide your pick back and forth along the bottom edge to separate the adhesive.

Leave your pick inserted in the bottom right corner to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.

Heat the right edge of the screen until it's hot to the touch.

Slide your pick around the bottom right corner of the screen and toward the power button until you feel a hard stop at a clip securing the screen.

Rotate your pick so the flat edge is under the screen.

Twist the pick to increase the gap between the screen and the frame until the right clip releases.

Insert a second opening pick to the right of the first pick.

Slide the first pick back to the bottom right corner of the screen.

Slide the second pick to the top right corner of the screen to separate the adhesive.

Leave these picks inserted to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

Heat the top edge of the screen until it's hot to the touch.

Slide your pick around the top right corner and along the top edge to release the two clips and adhesive securing it.

Heat the left edge of the screen until it's hot to the touch.

Rotate your pick around the top left corner of the screen.

Slide your pick to the bottom left corner of the screen to separate the adhesive.
