I want to learn how to take off the iPhone 8 back glass but not the full back housing. I attempted it in the pictures but I don’t want to have to do it so rough next time. Don’t worry it wasnt a full phone in there. It was just the housing for parts. Future tips and tricks would be very helpful!!! Thank you!
There are no tricks to it. The adhesive that Apple uses for the back glass is INCREDIBLY aggressive. Without specialized tools and equipment, the “easiest” (note the quote-unquote) method is to freeze the housing with liquid nitrogen. This will turn the adhesive very brittle and allow you to scrape it off with comparatively less effort.
