The iPhone 15 Pro Max has a stunning display — and an expensive one to fix at a shop. A DIY screen replacement saves you a substantial amount, and it's very achievable in about 45 minutes.

What makes the 15 Pro Max specific

It's a large OLED with slim bezels and a titanium frame, so the screen is bonded with strong adhesive and the Face ID / front-sensor assembly must be transferred carefully to the new screen. For a flagship like this, most people want Pro OLED or the OEM Service Pack for full brightness and True Tone.

The process

1. Power off, remove the two bottom screws, and apply heat around the edges.
2. Use the suction cup and pry tools to open from the bottom — go slow at the top edge to protect the Face ID flex.
3. Disconnect the battery first, then the display connectors.
4. Transfer the earpiece, front sensor and Face ID module to the new screen.
5. Connect, test Face ID and touch, then seal with fresh adhesive.

Protect Face ID

The Face ID dot-projector is paired to your phone — as long as you transfer the original module without damaging it, Face ID keeps working.
