Introduction

Use this guide to replace the Lightning connector assembly in your iPhone XS. If you've tried cleaning the lightning port to no avail, replacing the Lightning connector can solve charging and connectivity issues.

The internal speaker connector is also part of this cable, so you will also need to replace this (or your speaker) to resolve sound issues.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Is this guide still planned? Are there any other guides which get close to the lighting connector? I have done one lighting connector before. It is the last part, which makes it a very difficult repair. I have an iPhone Xs A1920 which needs this repair. I would be interested in a collaboration.

This guide probably is still planned, however I don't currently have the time to work on it. If anyone wants to contribute to this guide, feel free to do so. If you need any resources that I have already made (eg. pictures) I would be happy to provide them.

I just added a video from youtube to this guide, hopefully that helps till we finish the full written guide
