iPhone 15 — What's New for Screen Replacement
iPhone 15 brings three notable changes relevant to screen repair: USB-C replaces Lightning, Dynamic Island replaces the notch, and the Ceramic Shield front glass is tougher than ever — meaning if it does crack, the impact was significant. The screen replacement procedure itself is broadly similar to iPhone 14.
iPhone 15 Display Specs
- 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED
- 2556 x 1179px at 460ppi
- Dynamic Island (pill-shaped cutout, top centre)

- USB-C connector (charging port is separate from display)
iPhone 15 Screen Pairing
Like iPhone 14, Apple's component pairing applies. After a third-party screen replacement you will see a Settings notification about display verification. True Tone will be disabled. All other display and touch functions work normally with an OEM-grade screen.

1. Power off. 2. Remove two bottom Pentalobe screws (now beside USB-C port). 3. Apply heat to bottom screen edge. 4. Suction from bottom-left, work picks around left, top, right. 5.

Transfer Face ID module and front camera to new screen assembly. 9. Connect and test. 10. Replace Pentalobe screws.
