That's the first model to have the wireless charging coil. Apple started using glass backs starting with the iPhone 8 because of the wireless charging coil. As you can see, the middle of the phone still has color in the glass. If an iPhone has big chunks missing on the back glass and it has easy access to get underneath that glass, I'll just go ahead with a blade similar to a scalpel, and I'll go in there and I'll just pry off that glass.

I use a series of tools to remove the back glass. When breaking off the back glass, we have to be super careful not to let the blade puncture through the phone and damage an internal component. Once all that adhesive is vaporized, we'll take it out of the laser machine and we'll go over to our work bench and start cracking away this glass. It's designed down to a microscopic level to avoid any gaps in the frame and strictly go over the metal. So, my laser machine has a specific schematic for each iPhone model. The laser burns at a very high temperature, enough to go through the glass, completely obliterate the color standing in its way, and melts the glue straight off the frame. IPhones come straight from the Apple factory with adhesive that holds the back glass down to the frame, and it's my laser machine's job to vaporize the glue that's holding down the glass to that frame.

The first thing we'll do for this iPhone XS, we'll put it in the laser machine and we'll burn off the glue that holds the glass onto the frame. Water could get in there, debris could get in there and damage things, but thankfully everything's still working all right. Those chunks missing on the top and bottom, those look a little scary. So, this iPhone XS definitely has seen better days. The repairs are pretty similar, but each model has a few different steps.

They all have a similar issue, a cracked back glass. Today, I'll be showing you the repairs of three different iPhones in three different conditions. The following is a transcript of the video.
