Step 1

Power down your Apple iPhone 7 phone.
 
Step 2
 
Eject the Nano-SIM Card Tray.
 
Step 3 (iPhone 7 Display Assembly)
 
Remove the two bottom 3.4 mm Pentalobe screws located next to the lightning connector.
 
Step 4
 
Use the precision knife to create enough space to insert a triangle opening tool.
 
With the triangle opening tool slice through the sticky adhesive and carefully decouple the iPhone 7 display assembly from the rear case.
 
Unlike previous iPhone models, the iPhone 7 opens just like a book, along the side instead of at the top.
 
The display assembly is still connected to the iPhone by cables along the middle-right side, so don’t try to remove it entirely just yet.
 
Remove the following 4 Tri-Point screws securing the bracket that covers the battery connector and two of the display cables. These screws are different sizes, so be sure to remember where they go.
 
With the bracket out of the way spudge up the cables from the logic board.
 
Remove the following 2 Phillips screws that secure the bracket covering the upper component display cable.
 
Disconnect the cable and free the iPhone 7 display assembly from the phone.
 
Step 5 (iPhone 7 Rear-Facing Camera)
 
Remove the following 2 Phillips screws.
 
Remove the protective metal cover.
 
With the spudger in hand, disconnect the 12-megapixel iPhone 7 rear-facing camera and pry it out of the chassis.
