Einleitung

Folge den Schritten in dieser Anleitung, um die rückseitige iSight Kamera auszutauschen.

    • Vor dem Beginn sollte der Ladestand des iPhones unter 25% liegen. Ein geladener Lithium-Ionen Akku kann anfangen zu brennen oder explodieren, wenn man ihn beschädigt.

    • Schalte dein iPhone aus, bevor du mit der Demontage beginnst.

    • Entferne die zwei 3,4 mm Pentalobe Schrauben, die sich auf beiden Seiten des Lightning-Anschlusses befinden.

    Make sure you use the correct screw driver tip to remove these screws, which for the iPhone 6s Plus is the P2, otherwise you may strip the tip of the screw making it 10 times harder to remove. If once the screw is lose, it will not come off, use a magnet to remove it.

    If I do it by myself, will it damage the water resistant strip?

    I know iphone 7 have it ,but I am not sure 6s plus have it.

    Ganqian Zhu -

    iPhone 6s has an adhesive gasket under the display, similar to the iPhone 7—however, it doesn’t add much in the way of waterproofing since the 6s has non-sealed openings in other parts of the phone. Water resistance on the 6s is primarily internal (seals around the logic board connectors, etc.). It may still be worthwhile to replace the adhesive on the 6s in order to help keep the display firmly seated so it doesn’t move/wobble at all under pressure, but the phone will continue to work fine whether you replace the adhesive or not.

    Jeff Suovanen -

    Salve nella procedura iniziale di smontaggio display con la ventosa non è menzionato il fatto di scaldare i lati del display per “ammorbidire” la striscia che incolla il display alla scocca.

    Non è necessaria la cosa o è consigliabile ?

    grazie

    Hello, in the initial disassembling procedure with the suction cup, it is not mentioned how to heat the sides of the display to "soften" the strip that glues the display to the body.

    Is not the thing necessary or is it advisable?

    thank you

    Daniele -

    You’ve probably received your answer by now but for future enquirers, it does help the process of taking the screen off if heat is applied to the screen. If you have a hair Dryer use that on a low setting to heat the edges of the screen until it’s almost too hot to touch then slip very thin metal spudger around the edge to cut the adhesive. The carefully lift the screen with the help of the spudger and continue with your repair

    Cheers Wayne

    How do I know that the Battery has ZERO Charging Cycles on it when it arrives ? Is there a (downside) to Higher Capacity batteries ? It is INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT to maintain a “Zero Chinese Products Lifestyle”, so how do I know that I’m not getting a deficient Chinese battery, potentially a refurb. battery ?

    integritybuilders -

    When your repair is complete, you can use coconutBattery to check your new battery stats and cycle count. (A properly tested battery may already have a charge cycle or two on it.) Avoid higher capacity batteries on iPhones—they’re generally either gimmicks, unsafe, or both. As far as the quality of the part, that comes down to how much you trust your supplier and whether they guarantee the product.

    Jeff Suovanen -

    So I need to empty the battery to zero percent?

    johnpatrickanat -

    Below 25%, exactly as stated in the instructions. There’s no benefit to draining it further than that, and in fact you’ll slightly shorten the service life of the battery by draining it all the way to zero. Follow the instructions exactly as written—if you go off-script, you’re a lot more likely to break something.

    Jeff Suovanen -

    So my screen shattered completely and the screen first had colored lines on tge while right side then it went out completely. If i get an lcd and digitizer replacement I'd that oing to fix it

    shellietheleo -

    I would initially recommend a well-lit, comfortable area and placing the screws on a white piece of paper with the screw sizes written down (apparently there are magnetic mats, also). Also, I found placing the phone on a paper towel is good so that if a screw is dropped, it will lessen the likelihood of bouncing away.

    • Optional kannst du die Unterkante des iPhones mit einem iOpener oder einem Fön für etwa eine Minute leicht erwärmen.

    • Durch das Erwärmen wird der Klebstoff, mit dem das Display befestigt ist, weicher und das Öffnen wird leichter.

    This is important. I’ve serviced a lot of iphones/ipads for my family as a hobby in the past.

    The adhesive was so tight, I cracked the screen trying to pull it/pry it off.

    I highly suggest heating at least the bottom edge enough to soften the adhesive

    garbage911garbage -

    I didn’t have an iOpener, nor a heat gun; however I do have a small personal size hand pillow filled with feed corn. Two minutes in the nuke machine got it plenty warm, and smelled like fresh popcorn too.

    bradiac -

    I would suggest that you are not shy with the hairdryer. A high heat on the bottom of the phone for at least a minute, if not more, if required.

    • Beim Öffnen des Displays vom 6s Plus bleibt um den Rahmen des Displays ein dünner Klebestreifen. Wenn du den Kleber ersetzen möchtest solltest du einen Satz neuer Klebestreifen bereithalten, bevor du weitermachst. Alternativ ist es möglich, die Reparatur zu beenden, ohne den Kleber zu ersetzen – du wirst wahrscheinlich keinen Unterschied merken.

    • Setze einen Saugnapf in die untere, linke Ecke des Displays

    • Wenn dein Display stark zersplittert ist, dann überklebe es mit durchsichtigem Paketband, so dass der Saugheber haftet. Du kannst auch sehr starkes Klebeband anstelle eines Saughebers verwenden. Wenn das alles nicht hilft, dann befestige den Saugheber mit Sekundenkleber an der zerbrochenen Glasscheibe.

    take out screws first!!

    Yoav Karmon -

    Make sure you use the right screw driver tip for i phone 6s Plus, which is the P-2. If the screw will not come off once is lose, try using a magnet.

    Miguel Perez -

    My cracked screen prevented the suction cup from sealing. SOLUTION: With a piece of clear packing tape across the screen, the suction cup will seal and pull.

    Jim Cowles -

    I broke my iphone screen in the first step!

    Pierre Bertram -

    This screen removal step got more wrestley than I anticipated. The adhesive is quite strong. I used a flat-ended razor tool that I have to begin the prying - I don’t know how I would have got it started without this.

    Lou Fazio -

    Ok - just got my battery replacement kit and even got the opening kit for added insurance just in case. Settled down to startwork after carefully cleaning my (immaculate) screen - no scratches or anything, with rubbing alcohol, removing screws and warming with a hair dryer, only to find the suction cup provided in the kit is worse than useless! It won’t stick to the screen well at all. When it does - it pops off at the lightest pull :-( Now what do I do to get this started?!

    • Ziehe mit etwas Kraft gleichmäßig den Saugnapf nach oben, um eine kleine Lücke zwischen dem Display und dem Gehäuse zu öffnen.

    • Wenn du zu stark nach oben ziehst, könnte das womöglich das Display beschädigen. Benutze nur soviel Kraft, wie es braucht, um eine kleine Lücke zwischen dem Display und dem Gehäuse herzustellen.

    I had a shattered front glass panel so I could not get the suction cup to seal properly. I tried a couple of different ways to get good suction but to no avail. I eventually used a Stanley knife to pry up the corner so I could get the spudger into the opening.

    John Architzel -

    A really high quality packing tape over the entire screen will usually be enough to use the suction cup on a shattered screen.

    djwooten -

    I used a suction cup on each side to provide counter traction. I braced the iphone between my knees and pulled apart while my helper inserted the spudger

    jkanne -

    This was by FAR the most difficult part of this whole thing. I confess the spudger was not cutting it so I used a butter knife to get into the small opening first, then used the spudger to go around the screen.

    Julie Sanchez -

    Hey everyone, if you never have done this part before be aware there is an extremely strong adhesive around the lip of the screen and once again is extremely strong. I had to get a friend to insert the pry/pick into the small gap while I used one hand to brace the phone down and the other to pull the suction cup without it digging into my hand. Go slow, it took me 5 tries because I didn’t realize how strong the adhesive was.

    bartmistrot -

    I also had a badly cracked lower screen - that glass was actually threatening to pull off the phone in chunks during this step, even with packing tape. Resorted to @j2arch’s tip and inserted a utility knife vertically into the seam between the display and phone body. Was able to lever the glass enough to get the spudger in there.

    Jason Augustyn -

    I have replaced sevrel screens for my sister in law and my niece. The packing tape has worked every time and that’s with it Shattered and pieces already falling out. You have to make sure the packing tape goes to the edge of the screen but doesn’t touch the frame. I have the plier like screen remover and use that it is much easier to remove the screen by your self with that tool. I also have the little finger suction cup that comes with the kit here. I bought the plier suction cup tool When I had to replace the screen that had the pieces of the screen missing and I don’t regret spending the extra money for that it has made a world of difference. I do this as a hobby it’s not a job for me. The electric divide repair kit from Lowe’s is also a very good kit to help. If you’re only going to do it once the kit that comes with the package is a great deal from ifixit. Well worth the money to spend the little extra to get the kit if you all ready don’t have the tools.

    Brent -

    If you try to use the spunger near the home button and try to pry it can crack your screen. This happened to me.

    Jeffrey -

    Same thing happened to me. This should be a big warning in these steps. If you have a small to moderate crack in you screen, but you weren’t planning on replacing the screen at the same time as another repair inside, there’s a risk of damaging the screen further and making it inoperable.

    DW7ACCT -

    I found it easiest to use two suction cups. One on the front as directed, and a second one on the back. Give the spudger to your assistant, and have them slip it in place while you pull the display from the case.

    gordojenkins -

    I gave up with the suction cup as it wasn't working for me with a cracked screen. Having heated the bottom of the phone with a hair dryer with a high heat for a good minute or so, I used a safety scraper (essentially a razor blade in a holder) along the bottom of the phone to separate the screen from the body of the phone. I used the scraper vertically between the bottom of the screen and the phone body and levered it sufficiently so that I could fit the spudger between the screen and the phone body. My experience when I first used the spudger around the frame was that the cracks in the screen caused the screen glass to separate from the frame, so I had to re-do it and ensure that the screen frame was separated from the phone body.

    • Die sicherste Stelle, um das iPhone zu öffnen, ist am Display über der Kopfhörerbuchse.

    • Während du noch am Saugnapf ziehst, führe das flache Ende eines Spudgers in die Lücke direkt über der Kopfhörerbuchse ein.

    This was by far the hardest part of the repair for me. Getting leverage while finding a way to prod with a spudger is a challenge in coordination. I used a second spudger with point holding the phone down by the headphone jack, with the other end of the spudger anchored to my desk.

    drpotter -

    When warmed, the suction cup was useless. Using the tip of a knife blade, was able to get it separated enough to insert spudger.

    hutland -

    For me this was the most time consuming task. I used a hair dryer for heating. I found a very tight adhesive. For a moment I thought of abandoning my efforts and take the assembly to a professional repairman. But as they say, patience is a virtue.

    After fiddling for about 20 minutes, I achieved a barely noticable opening. So I decided to change the strategy. Instead of applying heat all over the base, I preceeded with small steps with heat concentrated near the opening. I applied intense heat only for about 15 to 20 seconds and immediately working with spudger. It took about an hour to completely open the case. It worked.

    Thanks for reading.

    - Mr Gamma

    Gamma Pailvan -

    I also struggled with this step. Lots of heat, 3 different suction cups, I finally could see a small gap... much too thin to fit even a piece of paper into. A video on another site said it was the easy way. I used a sharp craft knife barely into the seam between metal and glass and pried slightly. And it started up. Still a pain freeing the rest of the adhesive. Perhaps the adhesive really sets up over the course of 5 years? I have it hinged open now, so onto the next steps.

    • Drehe den Spudger, um die Lücke zwischen dem Display und dem Gehäuse zu vergrößern.

    just changed the screen, but due to the tape along side the screen , it is best to heat a little so the glue losses and you can get the screen off better, like indicated

    • Greife das Display vorsichtig und öffne das iPhone, indem du das Display an den Befestigungen am oberen Ende drehst, um das iPhone zu öffnen.

    • Öffne das Display zu ungefähr 90° und lehne es gegen etwas, um es während du arbeitest gestützt zu halten.

    • Öffne das Display nicht mehr als 90° – es ist immer noch am oberen Ende des iPhones befestigt. Die Kabel können sehr einfach reißen.

    • Füge ein Gummiband hinzu, um das Display sicher an seinem Platz zu halten, während du arbeitest. Das beugt Schäden an den Displaykabeln vor.

    • Notfalls kannst du eine ungeöffnete Getränkedose benutzen, um das Display zu stützen.

    if the display cables are damaged how can you tell ?

    Smiley McSmilebot -

    In theory, I like the idea of propping up the screen with a rubber band and box/soda can like this, but after ripping the FaceTime camera cable twice, I realize that this method puts too much stress on the cable because it places the screen so far back. Even in this photo, you can see that the cable is taut. I’d recommend just holding the screen with your free hand to put the least amount of stress on that cable as possible.

    • Entferne zwei Kreuzschlitz-Schrauben, mit denen die Abdeckung des Akuanschlusses am Logic Board fixiert sind. Sie haben folgende Längen:

    • Eine 2,9 mm Schraube

    • Eine 2,3 mm Schraube

    • Behalte während der gesamten Reparatur deine Schrauben gut im Auge, damit jede einzelne beim Zusammenbau auch dorthin zurückkehrt, wo sie herkommt. Die falsche Montage einer Schraube kann zu irreparablen Schäden führen.

    FYI - I used some blue painters tape wrapped around a piece of cardboard to hold the screws and brackets in place, in order, so they did not get lost. Some of those screws are MICROSCOPIC so be careful!

    I also suggest having very good lighting, even a camping headlight for hands-free well lit work space. You will thank me later :-)

    Julie Sanchez -

    Use the bit labeled “PH000”.

    Joe Teichert -

    PH000 bit just wants to free-spin in the 2.3 mm screw. no bite in the head at all. had no difficulty removing the 2.9 mm screw with the same Phillips. had to abandon battery replacement effort.

    Benjamin Stalcup -

    For this part, neither PH000 or Y000 worked. Technically, it’ll set you back 31$ because you will need the PH00 screwdriver for this part, and the part where you need to open the screen. They have ph00 screwdrivers in every hardware store and even ifixit.com. just know that they put the wrong screwheads for you

    Jack Daniel -

    Do not lose track of which hole these screws go into. They MUST be put back into the correct hole that they came out of. If not, you will get the dreaded “long screw damage” on the mainboard, and that will be the end of the show.

    Just remember where these screws go, and it will be fine.

    Harry McDow -

    Ended up employing a Philips #0 from a regular jeweler/precision kit on the 2.3mm screw. Bits seem a bit off for this step.

    • Drücke den Akkustecker vom Logic Board weg, so dass es während der Reparatur nicht zu einer unbeabsichtigten Verbindung mit dem Anschluss kommt.

    When putting the new battery in, make sure to line up the plug and not to the top of the battery… our battery was smaller so the plug would NOT have lined up if we used the top of the battery. ALSO, the plug was NOT 90 degrees so we had to finagle the plug. Also, make sure there is a clear CLICK when you plug in the connector or it may not work. Ours went in but guess didn’t go far enough so we had to take the screen off and push it harder until we heard the “click” then it worked fine.

    • Entferne die folgenden Kreuzschlitz-Schrauben:

    • Drei 1,3 mm Schrauben

    • Eine 1,6 mm Schraube

    • Eine 3,0 mm Schraube

    • Während der Wiedermontage ist es wichtig, diese 3,0 mm Schraube wieder in die obere rechte Ecke der Halterung zu schrauben. Wenn du sie irgendwo anders platzierst, kann das Logic Board beschädigt werden.

    I really don't see value in removing screen use box and rubber band keep at 90 degrees.

    John Parker -

    I leave screen on as well for this. - Tho I prefer a 45 degree lean.

    Thor -

    I just changed my battery and also left the screen attached. I was lucky enough to get all 3 adhesive battery strips out clean so I didn’t have a struggle with the battery coming out. If I was going to need to get rough with it I was going to take the screen off at that point.

    Michael Gross -

    To keep track of screws, draw a quick outline of the display cable bracket/cover, with five dots where screws should be. Drop the screws on the corresponding dot. Helps if you use magnet pad.

    Christa -

    Better yet, print out the pictures from the iFixit website, and use clear tape (“Scotch tape”) to TAPE the screws onto the place in the picture where they belong.

    Tom -

    Which screwdriver from the kit do I use for which screw?

    Shiva Sharma -

    I made a mistake and unscrewed the screw just north north west of the one circled in yellow. Of course I lost the screw. Can anyone give me any guidance about this? what does the wire connected to it do? What is the size of the screw, in case I have to replace it?

    P.S. This is another reason to consider the possibility of NOT removing the screen just to replace the battery: removing the screen presents a additional possible headache, especially for people like me with bad eyesight who probably shouldn’t be doing this in the first place.

    Tom -

    I didn’t think this was necessary, bit I see it relieves stress on the front-facing camera and sensor cable connector; I did not disconnect the display connector nor remove the display screen.

    Lou Fazio -

    I second this finding. I too did not remove the screws nor the bracket. The cables look a bit stretched, but certainly not strained.

    -Gamma

    Gamma Pailvan -

    This step of separating the two parts of the phone deserves careful consideration. In my case, I had propped up the display assembly with a box and rubber bands. However, only 2 of the battery adhesive strips came off easily. The effort to remove the battery with the display assembly attached was not a good move on my part. I jarred the ear speaker cable and after reassembly I had no camera or working ear speaker. Taking off these 5 screws and removing the three cables is not difficult. My suggestion: is you have ANY trouble removing the 3 battery adhesive strips, STOP, separate the two components, and then continue with the battery removal. Don’t struggle removing the battery with the display assembly attached. (I replaced the ear speaker cable, and all is working now)

    Richard Perl -

    Thanks for this tip! I am having a really hard time removing this plate because one of the screw heads are stripped. So I’ll try removing the battery adhesive strips first to see if I can get the battery out without removing the screen.

    nathanfunk -

    Use dixie cups and label them for each part you take out. You can stack the dixie cups to keep them in order.

    Bradley Nolen -

    I skipped this for the battery removal, but when I went to replace the seal, I had to remove it anyway.

    dgol69 -

    I lost the bottom left screw of the five in this step - anyone know if it’sgoing to cause a problem? ‘m going to go ahead and put thephone back together anyway - wil report back withresult

    CoffeeCup -

    OMG…. SO excited! It works! Seems that missing screw wasn’t an issue. The reason I’m so excited is, I’m a senior and have bever attempted anything like this before and was worried I’d mess it up, or it just wouuldn’t work for whatever reason. I know I never would have tried if it weren’t for finding this site, the great service, parts to do it and the videos/guides. Thank you so much ifixit. :-)

    I changed the battery, without removing the screen, when I closed the phone the front camera and speaker no longer work.

    FYI, in the video she uses the spudger for this but I think either one will work.

    Lou Fazio -

    Is there any need for this step if only the Battery is replaced

    mrrreid -

    I don’t recommend using the spudger for this as you can do more damage that way. I scratched the black square thing underneath.

    Laura Houghton -

    I managed to remove the battery without disconnecting and removing the display first. This avoids possible difficulties in these steps (see below).

    One has to be careful that, while fighting with the battery strips, the display remains in its 90º position

    • Löse das Touchscreen Kabel mit einem Öffnungswerkzeug aus Plastik von seinem Stecker auf dem Logic Board, indem du es gerade nach oben hebelst.

    • Wenn du das Kabel wieder verbindest, drücke nicht in der Mitte des Steckers. Drücke erst an einem Ende, dann am gegenüberliegenden. Beim Drücken in der Mitte des Kabels kann der Stecker verbiegen und beschädigt werden.

    “When reconnecting the digitizer cable, do not press the center of the connector. Press one end of the connector, then press the opposite end. Pressing in the center of the connector can bend the component and cause digitizer damage. “

    The following note above was so helpful. I was speeding through the process of getting things back together, since it seemed easy to connect the digitizer cable, but I kept pushing it in the middle and I wouldn’t connect. Until I read through this step and realized it was easier if I would’ve connected one side and then the opposite side right after.

    Jeffrey Robinos -

    Don’t be too shy when pushing the ends of the digitizer connector back to place. If it does not connect properly, you might face the “half backlight” problem, even if you did not kill any LCD filter. Also check carefully, that you don’t clamp parts of the sticky sealing material placed around the connector inside the connection area.

    Norbert Andreas Richartz -

    This part was a very frustrating experience for me.  I thought that my replacement screen was just poor quality, as it worked when it wanted to work.  Pressing home/power repeatedly sometimes brought it back, charging to 100% also brought it back.    The actual problem was that it is very easy to get some of the gasket material caught in the connector, which I couldn’t see until I used my jeweler's loupe.  I used 91% alcohol to carefully clean all of this off until all pins were shiny, and it took about 6 tries to get it right.  However, the screen’s been running well for 2 days now.  I already bought another screen replacement which I have for a spare as it was 100% not the problem.

    • Vergewissere dich, dass der Akku abgeklemmt ist, bevor du das Kabel in diesem Schritt trennst oder wieder anschließt.

    • Heble das Kabel zum Home Button/Fingerabdrucksensor gerade nach oben und löse es aus seinem Anschluss auf dem Logic Board heraus.

    How much is this to replace?

    Alistair knight -

    And where could I buy from?

    Alistair knight -

    After finishing the assembly I got the message “Touch ID cannot be enabled on this phone”. I found this connector was loose. Plugged it back in and that fixed it.

    Bryan Province -

    Thanks for the tip. Same thing happened to me, some leftover adhesive was in the way!

    Lua Tech -

    Always make sure to disconnect the battery before you do any work on the phone replacing any parts the digitizer or anything. And before you start make sure the phone is turned off you don’t want any power surges. If you also have a static electricity bracelet that also is a plus to use but isn’t a necessity just a nice piece of mind. Some cases you do need to use one so you don’t discharge static electricity to an electrical component and mess it up.

    Be very careful in this step. I noticed it’s very easy to tear the flex when trying to lift it out of its socket from the right side.

    shoeib -

    What is the cable and how is it connected/fixed to the motherboard between the bottom socket and the screw hole.

    Mine came loose somehow?

    Jason Engelsman -

    I figured out my own question its the Wi-Fi diversity antenna cable. But how is it connected/secured to the motherboard?

    Jason Engelsman -

    i pressed on the center of the digitizer connection. and the bottom half of my screen didnt work. i then took that same front panel assembly and tried to install it on another old iphone 6s+ and i had the same issue.

    can i still fix it?

    what exactly is broken now?

    alejandro rueda -

    @mynameisoli Honestly this just sounds like a defective screen to me, but it’s hard to say for sure. Look closely at the connector at the end of the ribbon cable and check it for damage. If it’s slightly bent/curved, all the pins won’t make good contact in the socket. You can try bending it back so it lays flat, but you have to be very careful not to damage the connector or contaminate the pins with skin oils, so it’s tricky—and it may be harder to return as “defective” if you mess up the connector. So try this at your own risk. Apart from that, I would just return it and try a different display. Good luck!

    The 6s plus screen repair kit i bought has the wrong size cable here on the replacement part. SOL.

    Alex Richardson -

    Once I accidentally disconnected the display assembly cables before disconnecting the battery. Now the home button and fingerprint sensor doesn’t work. Any solution to this?? I have tried a different home button, even that doesn’t work.

    a3roar -

    I changed the battery on my iPhone and put all together again and charged it. When I pressed the home button the lock screen with my picture appeared and when I pressed it again the screen with the digits from 0 to 9 appeared. I was asked to enter my passcode, but when I did that nothing happened, the phone did not open.

    What could be wrong? Is the home screen cable not fully connected or what could be the reason for this?

    Do you know whether the adhesive contributes to waterproofing, or just for stability/adhesion?

    Christa -

    @kitabel The iPhone 6s case isn’t waterproof, so I don’t think adhesive around the display is contributing anything other than stability. The 6s series does have some water resistance, but it’s mostly internal and not something Apple advertises.

    Jeff Suovanen -

    If you have a replacement adhesive for the display, you may need to install it before reconnecting cables to the components. If the adhesive wraps all the way around the display, it will be impossible to install it once the display is reconnected.

    Matthew Olwell -

    These instructions worked great for me. Thank you!

    • Löse alle Klebestreifen, die die Schrauben der Halterung der iSight Kamera verdecken.

    If like me you are only wanting to clean out the speaker, you do not need to do this step. You can skip to step 50

    Mine had no tape there

    • Trenne den Stecker der iSight Kamera von seinem Anschluss auf dem Logic Board.

    • Achte dabei darauf, dass du nur den Stecker und nicht den Anschluss auf der Hauptplatine heraushebelst.

    If necessary, the sticky patch on top f the connector should be removed. Helped my case a lot :)

really useful.

vickyhhchang -

Great instructional video which saw me through the entire disassembly of my phone, and then clear and concise enough steps on the page to help me put it back together after installing the new camera. Thank you!!!!

chyke_dawg -

I completed this repair at the same time as replacing my battery and headphone/lightening jack assembly. The problem I was experiencing with my camera was jittery video and unusable photos. The stabilization gimbal had died, though I am not sure that is the right word for it. It's more like it had an overdose. Anytime I would come to use the camera you could hear a tiny clicking noise as the lens armature shot itself about within its tolerances. Photos were out of focus and jittery, even when taken with the phone completely stable and untouched. I could most of the time just manage to make it take photos to deposit checks by holding the phone horizontally and in very bright sunlight, sometimes tapping the phone until the clicking noise stopped. Videos would hunt for focus and look as though I was actively shaking the camera, no matter what. Sometimes it was worse than others. Replacing this assembly completely fixed all issues.

Michael Cornforth -

Michael, you might have been interested to know that the focusing problems you experienced are chronic in the iPhone 6 Plus and Apple has created a repair program. You might have found this page useful if your serial number was eligible. https://www.apple.com/support/iphone6plu...

Talon -

Micheal, I am having that same problem as well! Good to know that replacing it fixes it!

Talon, the repair program Apple has is only for the 6 plus not the 6s plus.

Andy Perkins -

By the camera lens is a tiny strap piece that I bumped off and now I am not sure how to put it back on?? Do you have any pictures or advice that would show me how it goes back in the phone?

Patricia Brown -

If you check out the video at the top of the page, go to time 3:57 (https://youtu.be/asLTAhYISOA?t=237) and this will clarify it for you ;)

Note that your question prompted me to go back and change how I did it to only realise I had it correct all-along ;)

Ashley Lahm -

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible since my camera on iphone 6 plus is damaged, if I can replace it with a 6s since it's 12 megapixels. Let me know your though.

Omar Jimenez -

i got this and accidentally got a regular 6 plus not the 6s plus camera . apparently there is a difference because it wouldn't work. Replaced it and works great. anyone with a brain and a steady hand can do this.

nathan Reich -

so I installed a new camera and after re-installing the front of the phone…the screen is unresponsive to typing in the passcode or accepting a fingerprint to open the phone back up.  everything works fine..i’m even seeing txt messages come in…just cant seem to unlock the phone because the  keypad isn't responsive.  any advice?

jeremy riggs -

I replaced my rear camera and now neither camera has an image! What did I do wrong?

Bill Anderson -

I have the same problem :( did you get any answers? thanks

Melissa b -

I had very bad issues with the i-Sight cam! it was shaking so wild, you couldnt see anything on the pictures. Apple said, my 6S+ is not under this special i-Sight change programm which was describing precisely the same issues!

But the new cam fixed it all! And put a new battery as well ;-)

elcojone -

I just discovered that the iSight camera does not include the camera cover. I also cannot find the camera cover for sale on this site. This is very frustrating. I didn’t know the camera and cover were separate pieces. I think I just bought the camera when I didn’t need it and didn’t buy the cover that I do need.

This is not good. Please help!

Darren Sullivan -

Couldn’t have done it without the step by step guidance and video. Thanks for the help. New camera works great!!!

jeff jamison -

Dropped my iPhone and the camera succumbed to the “Black Death”. No software fix for this one. Bought a great toolkit from iFixit along with a new iSight camera. Following these well documented instructions had the phone fixed in short order. What a great website!

Bryan Thomas -

camera wont focus

Xavier -

Really fun to do and the breakdown was helpful and easy to follow, thank you

Marcos De Loera -

Is the iphone 6S plus camera the same as the iphone 6.

Marco Marchant -

No, they are different and non-compatible.

Talon -

Newbie question. If I replace camera as in the instructions, will I need to reloadd all apps and data ?

Peter -

No this dosent effect the data on your phone only the camera which you are changing

thomaschatstg -

Help!

ipone 6s +.

Had blurry rear camera. Ordered new camera. I Just replaced camera this morning & now when I powered. Ack on…black screen for rear & FRONT camera as well now!

I rebooted phone.

i checked settings.

I even took apart again to double check my connections.

Any ideas?

myred -

Hello, did you ever find a resolution to this? I have the same problem :( thanks

Melissa b -

I followed this and now neither camera works. the old camera jiggled. I put the old camera back but had the same result, i.e. neither camera works.

Rick Ireland -

did you solve this? I have the same issue :( thanks

Melissa b -

Super Anleitung. Hat alles wunderbar in ca. 40 Minuten geklappt.

Ich habe ich ein Gelpad verwendet, welches ich in einer Schüssel mit Wasser aus dem Wasserkocher erhitzt hatte, und damit den Kleber am unteren Displayrand weich bekommen.

Jetzt habe eine neue Hauptkamera, deren Bild stabil bleibt. Danke für die tolle Anleitung!

Johannes Schmidt -

Hello,

How can I replace the Rear Lens of the Camera ? It’s only holding with Glue ???

Thx

Toner Abi -

Right … I followed this link from the YouTube video for the camera lens replacement.

Tae -

this is awesome. thank you so much!!

Van Huynh -

Hi, I need to know if I need to order a new lens with my replacement back camera. When you remove the back camera- does the lens (outer piece that is exposed to the outside of the phone, the piece that could be scratched) come with it and do replacement pieces usually include this lens piece too? Thanks

Melissa b -

The lens is replaced separately (as you can see from the guide) and would need to be ordered separately as well. Most camera replacements do not require a new lens. Most lens replacements do not require a new camera.

Talon -

very easy to follow. Was able to replace my camera and now my 6s Plus is back in business.

Darnell Umagat -

I successfully repaired my 6s Plus by transplanting the rear camera and lightning/headphone jack assembly from a badly damaged donor phone. I was worried about all of the adhesives, but the whole process was pretty straightforward with this guide. Looking forward to getting another couple of years out of this phone!

tsndrs -

I did not realize there is a sticky tape on the microphone that has to be removed so it will work when you line it up
