Pro Max Specific Tips

💡 Larger Display Considerations:
  • More adhesive area - heat all edges thoroughly
  • Display is heavier - support it well during repair
  • Flex cables are in same positions as 13 Pro
  • Battery is larger - same disconnection procedure

Replacement Process

The replacement process is identical to the iPhone 13 Pro, with the main difference being the larger display size:

  1. Power off and remove bottom pentalobe screws
  2. Heat edges (takes longer due to larger size)
  3. Open display from left side like a book
  4. Disconnect battery first
  5. Remove display cable brackets and disconnect
  6. Transfer Face ID/earpiece module to new screen
  7. Reconnect all cables in reverse order
  8. Test before sealing
  9. Apply new adhesive and close

Replacement Screen Quality

⚠️ Screen Quality Matters More on Pro Max:

The larger 6.7" display makes quality differences more noticeable:

  • OEM/Refurbished: Best quality, maintains all features
  • High-quality OLED: Good color and brightness, may lack True Tone
  • LCD replacement: NOT recommended - no ProMotion, worse blacks
