    Great help video! I went back and forth between the ifixit site and this video while working on my phone. Unfortunatly, I didn’t get the double sided tape (stickers) with my kit. but the package my kit came in had clearly been torn apart and “searched” by customs, so the stickers could have gone missing that way.

    Do you have any normal people clothes? Or do you buy all your clothes from baby gap?

    Yeah, i heard that if you get the warranty, you’d be fine!… lol, plus he’s talking about warping and doing all this junk..when you could just send it in and it’s at their own fault if they mess up, just saying.

  14. Reublol

    Thumbs up if you think that faggot should be replaced

  15. meetmeatthearmpit

    @thepikey7 no. Fuck you.

    If you plan on doing this, DO NOT USE A MAGNETIC SCREWDRIVER!

    Did you see at the end how voicemail dialled for no apparent reason?! My fuckphone does that all the time! I firmly believe that Apple have colluded with the phone companies to make more money by making it dial voicemail sporadically. Voicemail calls are not included in any cap plan and are charged at the maximum call rate.Eg on my unlimited calls Optus plan in aus i pay $100p/m but my bill is always $104+ from fkn voicemail dialling for no reason.It’s a fkn conspiracy i shit you not

  19. INisideON

    perfect !!!

    @TheMadkent entertained me.

    do a video on how to fix a screen on 1st gen

  22. TFiPW

    swipe the screwdriver with a magnet and it’ll magnetize. Also that’s a fantastic way to void the warranty.. unless it expired.

    whats with all the I phone haters? If ya don’t like it, don’t fucking buy it….SIMPLE!! Wankers!
