If your iPhone 13 screen is cracked, not responding to touch, or not showing a picture when your phone is powered on, use this guide from iRepair Devices to restore your iPhone to working order with a new screen, a.k.a. display assembly.
Note: True Tone and auto brightness functionality is disabled after a screen replacement, even when using an original Apple screen. Face ID is also disabled, unless the iPhone is running iOS 15.2 or newer.

STEP 1 Remove the Pentalobe Screws
- Caution: Before you begin, discharge your iPhone battery below 25%. A charged lithium-ion battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured.
- Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.
- Remove the two 6.8 mm-long pentalobe P2 screws at the bottom edge of the iPhone.
STEP 2 Apply Suction Cup
Heating the lower edge of the iPhone helps soften the adhesive securing the display, making it easier to open.
- Use a hairdryer or heat gun and prepare an Opener tool and apply it to the lower edge of the iPhone for about a minute in order to soften up the adhesive underneath.
- Position the suction cups near the bottom edge of the iPhone. One on the front, and one on the back.
