Repairing a Shattered iPhone 15 Pro Back Glass: From Severe Damage to Seamless Restoration In this episode, we confront a heavily damaged iPhone 15 Pro - its rear glass is in pieces, and the metal frame is riddled with scuffs. Beyond that, this phone was previously upgraded to 1TB of storage in our workshop just two months prior. Despite the newness of the device, accidents still happen, leading the owner back to us for another rescue operation. Our plan? Replace the broken back glass efficiently and surprise the fan with a restored phone that looks (and functions) like new. What sets the iPhone 15 Pro apart is its new back glass design. Unlike older models where the glass was glued directly onto the middle frame, the 15 Pro features a separate rear glass assembly. We heat the shattered panel, carefully wedge an ultra-thin pry tool to minimize further damage, and slowly detach the fragmented back. Inside, we also find a single ribbon cable linking wireless charging coils, the rear flash, and a tiny rear microphone. By removing that cable, we can fully separate the remains of the back panel and then thoroughly clear out every speck of glass debris. Once the old adhesive is stripped away, we apply a fresh layer of waterproof glue around the edges - similar to how the screen adhesive works. The choice of replacement glass is critical: Apple now offers an official diagnostic-friendly back glass that's extremely costly, but we opt instead for a reliable salvaged back glass. This not only keeps expenses down but also allows us to run a quick diagnostic that removes any unauthorized glass pop-up warnings in iOS 18. After carefully pressing and sealing the new panel, we perform an overall functionality test, ensuring no features are compromised. Join us to see how a thoughtful approach - from dust removal and thorough cleaning to adding fresh adhesive - can yield a stunning transformation. Whether you're an iPhone 15 Pro owner seeking budget-friendly repair options or a tech enthusiast curious about Apple's newest designs, this video offers a valuable lesson: even severe damage can be reversed with the right techniques, dedication to detail, and top-quality materials.
