    • Allow your phone's battery to drain below 25% (a charged lithium-ion battery can be a safety hazard). Turn the device off before working on it.

    • Use the plastic spudger to gently pry off the rubber back panel. If needed, use the plastic iFixit opening picks to help keep the plate separated. (Heating the back of the phone using a blow dryer may help loosen adhesive.)

    • Gently pull the back panel away to avoid damaging the connecting wire for the fingerprint sensor.
