iPhone 15 Screen Replacement

Go to step 1

Use this guide to replace a broken or cracked screen in your iPhone 15.

Note: Since you can't disconnect the battery during this repair, be especially careful not to use metal prying tools or touch exposed contacts in your iPhone.

Note:Due to Apple's parts pairing restrictions, on iOS 17.6 and earlier, True Tone and auto brightness are disabled after a screen replacement, even when using an original Apple screen. On iOS 18 and newer, you can calibrate your new screen using Apple's Repair Assistant to restore functionality on genuine parts.
