• Cracks or shattering across the rear panel
• Glass lifting away from the frame at one or more edges
• Sharp fragments catching on cases or pockets
• Cracking around the camera housing

Tools You'll Need for a DIY Replacement

• Heat gun or heat mat
• Suction cup and thin opening picks
• Pentalobe and Torx screwdriver set
• Spudger and tweezers
• New adhesive strips or UV adhesive

Step-by-Step: Replacing Your iPhone 11 Back Glass

1. Power off the device fully before you begin.
2. Apply even heat around the edges of the rear glass to soften the adhesive bond.
3. Use a suction cup and pick to lift and remove the glass in sections, taking care around the camera bracket.
4. Clean off any old adhesive residue from the frame.
5. Apply new adhesive and position the replacement glass over the camera cutout.
6. Press firmly around the edges to seat the new panel securely.
