iPhone 13 mini Screen Replacement
Go to step 1If your iPhone 13 mini screen is cracked, not responding to touch, or not showing a picture when your phone is powered on, use this guide to restore your iPhone to working order with a new screen, a.k.a. display assembly.
The iPhone 13 disables the Face ID function when you replace the screen. Due to a microchip that is soldered to the display and transmits the serial number of the individual iPhone, the Face ID function gets lost.
Note: True Tone functionality is disabled after a screen replacement, even when using an original Apple screen. Additionally, your iPhone may temporarily show a warning about the “genuineness” of the display.
You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.
