I have so many questions.... Does the chip flex come with the screens? Which screens? LCD or the OLEDs? If you have to swap the chip why does the R200 exist and support 12s and 13s? Do you have to do both?
So Derek I was able to do this on an 11 pro Max using a mobile sentrix replacement lcd. I was successful but ran into a couple speed bumps. What temperature would you recommend to remove the oem ic, and on the replacement screen after I remove the touch ic there is alot of glue on the flex where the ic was, do you recommend a specific solvent?
This is incredible but there is no way to tell what screens you sell come with the flex. I ordered some 13 lcds and they came with it, but the 13 soft oled that says ic transfer compatible did not. Furthermore you do not sell the flex separately on the site which would be ideal
still closes fine and as to your question, not really no. If you've ever removed the ic you'd find that it is quite tricky to do without issue. The most practical way to do it without this method would be to carefully grind the chip down to its pads without damaging anything so that you can solder the chip to it which also presents a risk of damaging the display with the amount of heat it takes to solder the chip. In short being able to do 99% of the soldering off the screen makes a world of difference and not having to worry about the chip is amazing.
Welcome to Apple's locked parts policy/scam. The mere fact that you have to do this craziness just to replace a screen and other parts, is the #1 reason I would never use an iPhone, period. smh
