iPhone Disassembly Instructions

by

I seem to be inexplicably drawn to procedures on how to take apart your iPhone. I don't know why since I have no personal interest in taking apart my iPhone. So hopefully this will be the last one, and fortunately, it appears to be the most complete set of instructions.

iFixit posts nice step-by-step guides on how to install/replace the following parts on your iPhone:

- SIM Card
- Antenna Cover
- Headphone Jack
- Rear Panel
- Camera
- Front Bezel
- Logic Board
- Communications Board
- Battery
- Display Assembly

In particular the Rear Panel disassembly instructions appear to involve less Adhesive Remover than previous instructions. Conveniently, iFixit also sells these iPhone parts individually.
