Lol the Steve Jobs book was a savage move

the worst thing about this repair is that theres only one way to find out if you've really fixed it

I got water in my phone and had a lot of accumulation on the front and back cameras. After cleaning out the water I sealed the phone and never thought about the adhesive, until a little black spot appeared on the bottom of my screen after a rainy day. This video was really helpful in guiding me on re sealing my phone! definitely keeping my phone away from water! Thank you!

The Steve Jobs book was my favorite part!! lol

Great Video On iPhone Repair. It's nice to see a good POV to further my knowledge

Do not consider the phone waterproof if you have replaced the screen. Replacement screen or earpiece speaker may not be waterproof. This guide usually suits better if you are replacing internal components like the battery or the camera and would like to reseal the phone like new.

Thank you very much ifixit for this guide!. I replaced the adhesive on an used iphone 8 i bought, followed every step very carefully and now the screen seals perfectly with the frame.

Nice job,thx. 🙏🏼

Good Job !!

Should've dunked it in water to test if he did the job...

FINALLY!!!

now where was this when i needed it lol. can't find anywere to get those adhesive strips

Well done Alex!

Ifixit I apprecite your guides lot of info, but wow why are your prices so ridiculously expensive, its cost prohibitive. 2x,3x,4x everyone else, I even seen other places that sell your own name brand tools cheaper than you

For clarification: S: That’s not a 6S! A: Correct. S: The iPhone 6S isn’t water resistant A: Correct. Q: Why is the iPhone 6S listed in this video? The iPhone 6S is listed in this tutorial because there is an adhesive seal under the screen. What iPhones does this tutorial cover? A: iPhone 6S and later.

You guys rock!

Neat, I didn't know you could restore water resistance after taking the device apart on your own. Can you do this with other water-resistant gadgets or is the iPhone's method of water resistance abnormal?

Will you tear down the ticwatch s and e please.

can you use the iopener to seal it back again or does it have to be a hairdryer?

You guys are the best. Very detailed and practical videos. Parts and tools are also of great quality. Thank You!

Did you guys test water resistance afterwards

Is the adhesive for 6s and 7 interchangeable?

*Do a Samsung galaxy s9 teardown video*

Nice and Thank you

Interesting.

Do I have to do this If I only fix the battery

Are those good as the factory?

Iphone 7 adhesive seal can be use for iphone 6s or not

What if i only change the battery do i still need to change gasket?

iPhone 7😍😍😍😍

What about when you need to remove the front camera and earspeaker and the home button to replace it on the new screen..…the water wouldn’t go tru????

Can we drop into water after done this?

What about the galaxy s8 ?? Water resistance after repair

Any for iPhone XS Max?

Where can we buy the iPhone adhesive i'm from the Philippines. Thanks!

Is this blue sheet necessary?Can i just skip this bluesheet and just put the screws back?Please reply?

does it work on the iphone 6?

Sir how much will it cost apple care noob broke my adhesive strip

I miss Steve 😭

Thinking of doing mine but I can’t tell what’s legit and what’s not

I don’t care much about water proof but is this good to keep the iPhone screen from sticking out or should I try a different solution.

@ultra1obscene

it will not stop the screen sticking out, the reason is sticks out is cheaper/aftermarket screens are thicker than the originals. i guess it will hold it in place better than nothing!

But iphone 6s isnt waterproof. Why i need that resistance?

Is this 100% water resistant if applied properly? Because it’s going straight into the water within the week lol

I just want to replace the battery of my Iphone 6s. Is it necessary to apply this adhesive before closing the phone?

The 6S isn't officially water resistant, but the adhesive under the screen is present on it.

Edward James Bickels the 6S added force touch, which depends on a different kind of screen adhesive to accurately work. The 6 has no adhesive whatsoever, the screen just clips in. iPhone 7 and newer are water resistant.

No iPhone ist Water Resistant (IP68) ! They are only IP67 Certified (Spashproof). All 2017 Phones from Samsun got IP68 Certifikation ! Once opend this is gone....

If you're good enough you can preserve the original adhesive. Whether or not it's as effective as replacing it with a new one is a different story.

it would be much better if you replace it completely tbh some aftermarket adhesives for the iPhones are actually better than the OEM ones

iPhone 7 is water-resistant (IP67) and that’s why it needs adhesive.

Is this process the same with Samsung phones and why do you heat it from the back not from the front?

"Water resistance" is a relative term though. If you mean it doesn't have an official IP rating, then you're right. That doesn't mean there aren't water-resistance measures in its design though, such as the gaskets around buttons and the display assembly adhesive.
