Introduction

Prereq only, battery removed.

Tools

Step 1

Remove the following screws securing the logic board to the rear case:
Two 2.4 mm standoff screws
Standoff screws are best removed using a standoff screwdriver or bit.
In a pinch, a small flathead screwdriver will do the job—but use extra caution to ensure it doesn't slip and damage surrounding components.
One 2.1 mm Phillips #00 screw

Step 2

Carefully raise—but do not remove—the logic board, lifting it from the bottom edge nearest the Lightning connector.

Step 3

Do not remove the logic board. At this point it is still tethered to the rear case via an antenna connector.
Continue carefully lifting the bottom side of the logic board until it is vertical.

Step 4

Gently lay the logic board upside-down, with the top portion resting against the rear case of the iPhone.
Use the flat end of a spudger to disconnect the antenna connector from its socket on the back of the logic board.

An extra step needs to be added. the 1.3 millimeter Phillips head #00 screw retaining the antenna to the frame needs to be removed and then the antenna removed.
