It is seriously impressive to see that you replaced this back glass in this horribly designed phone. Just like you say, the back panel seems to be the hardest part to remove. I am happy to see that Apple did a better job with the successor. This iPhone 11 design is just really bad.

Every time Hugh uploads an iPhone repair, I think to myself, "what unnecessarily difficult thing are we encountering today?"

When a phone comes back to you for a second repair, it's time to suggest a case to the owner. Glass slabs can feel pretty nice, but they're slippery as snot and quite fragile. Cases cost far less than parts.

Good to know that aftermarket back housings are easier to remove and replace than the factory ones. The factory one is a really bad design choice - you shouldn't need lasers to remove a piece of glass when Samsungs have their glass removable via a heat plate and careful removal of the glass.

Great job Hugh! I managed to refurb a Galaxy S8 that I payed 7$ for it. Using as my daily driver.

You and I have wildly differing definitions of "Coming free with ease"!!!! I still have hot dreams about my S5 neo where the back popped off and I swapped in my replacement battery when on road trips.

Thank you for this video Mr. Jeffreys. On a side note... I always questioned the wisdom of using glass for the back panel of a phone. I loved my Pixel 4a and its polymer back panel. Greetings from the UK, Anthony

Always a good time watching the professionalism if this young man. I wish there were places here in the USA that had his level of work and care. I doubt that anyone here in the states bothers putting the seal around the screen back on. I treat my phones, new or used with kid gloves, because I don’t know if they have been compromised in the past in any way. Blows my mind to think that people take these things in to water. Any water, tub, shower, ocean……toilet. They are electronics and that and what’re do not go together.

Love your content as always! Wish I could meet you at some point in time

Great job, I really enjoy watching your videos.

Another great repair by Hugh Jeffreys.

Your channel ist just pure satisfaction...

Great video, thank you for posting

An excellent video, as always

I used crayons to fill the tiny gaps between the glass panel and the housing, it feels much nicer and smoother after that. From a color set you can just pick the crayon which fits best to the color of the housing/glass.

in my experience the rings around the camera only are lose on aftermarket housings. they are spotwelded on an original one

Hi Mr Jeffreys, Always thank you with the quality video. I've tried some iP 11 back chassis repair before, but I've found that there was constant glitch with wireless charging. Did you ever experienced this issue before?

Great job Hugh, Mines face id stopped working after being taken down a water slide

Hey Hugh Jeffreys great wee video as always I wonder where did you get your tools from too fix the IPhone's? I would like too try and fix my two IPhone's but I don't have any tools and I don't have that heat plate that use in your videos.

Awesome Hugh , you really make these repairs so easy, live this video and thank you for sharing your knowledge and savvy with me 👍🙌😊

Where do you buy the spare parts? I bought a replacement screen on eBay once but the quality was not as good as original. 😢

Fascinating. 😊

great video, definitely a pain in the

Is there any issues not using the original Taptic Engine in the XR and the 11

How's the water resistant with that back glass? Is it has the same effect with the Apple original?

You didn’t mention that those aftermarket housings usually have horrible quality compared to the original ones. Screws often don’t match the original points and the anodizing much less durable. The phone scratches easier. The back glass is also much wicker so it’s much easier to break second time.

*GOOOOD MORNING AUSTRALIAAAAAAAAAA*

wow, good job

Pls tell me how much costs a back glass repair with a good quality like the original and simular , and where can i get it

Can I use hair dryer as a heating tool. To remove the back glass ?

Morning Hugh 😊😊😊

Can you replace the glass back with any other material?

Ive been watching your vids for a few years and i love when you fix a destroyed iPhone and make it brand new again can you fix my broken iphone xr ?

Awesome job, Hugh. Even though I prefer Android phones like Samsung, Motorola, LG Electronics, and other phones rather than Apple's iPhones.

O-ring plus liquid adhesive around the cameras should help keep them water resistant, too. Not for cave diving with, but maybe you'll get away with dropping it in a puddle or the bath.

Any tutorial to upgrade the battery for this iphone 11? I’m still using it, and it still works alright.

am i able to purchase the back screen from your website? if so I am unable to find it on the website. please let me know and thank you

I've seen repairs on the original glass back of some iPhones and the technician had to use a glass breaker

Please reply me , how much its costs to ntingan original bach glass replacement

Yes

Seeing him pry chunks of glass from the back of the phone was like seeing myself picking out chunks of broken chocolate. Both are quite satisfying.

This video is weird without any background music

Wow awesome 👏.

Do you have charging problem on iOS 17

Does the aftermarket back panel have that black circle over the Apple logo in order to get around inport customs?

where do you get your gloves from?

Makes sense

I cleaned my phone's screen when you put the new screen protector 😅

Where can I get the back for this phone online?

I have my iPhone 11 Pro Max for over 4 years now and I still have the same silicone case, I never broke the display or backglass even though I'm a car mechanic. It's a tough phone if you put a case on

I really like that color.

who do you recommend for buying Iphone parts ?

You do understand that all the small glass particles you didn’t clean may puncture the battery or get inside camera lens?

I mean, if anyone can fix that phone Hugh Jefferys can! I know how much that sounds like an ad lol

What about water resistance after this repair ?

Which glue do you use?

Perhaps a stupid question but why is a major chassis component made of glass ?

That seems painful to do lol. Also in case it happens again? Lol the person needs a subscription with you lol

Glue brand?

Can you still get a 2g phone and call and text with it in Australia?

Hugh, just to satisfy my curiosity would you state the type of adhesive you are using?

I have a weird question, I broke my display so I got it replaced but the replacement was installed incorrectly so the black frame covers the camera making the photos horrible quality, the thing is I broke the display again (still working, just cracks) and I don't currently have the money for a replacement, is it possible to remove the display without breaking it and then install it correctly?

i personally love this color and have a green 12 myself (couldn’t find the purple 128gb in stock) and it’s really nice to see how much you made this phone usable! people are normalizing throwing away perfectly working devices for minor things such as broken back glasses, and that really seems so crazy to me. keep up the good work🩷🩷

who decided glass was a good material for the back of phones? Totally scratching my head why a good quality plastic is mot used. Would not require a case and it would be a lot more durable. Better yet, make it removable and design it with a removable battery while they're at it like old phones used to do.

Where can I order on a iPhone 14 Pro back?

I wonder why there are no other thirdy party options with the back being just plastic, shiny or frosted for that matter.

Will this keep the water resistance?

What an aussie man. "Just simply remove the excess glue with my fingernail" lmao

Id dosen't seem 2 minues ago since you repaired this Iphone this has to be fhe simplest back glass replacment I have ever seen

Laser technique is very easy, makes back glass replacement a lot faster But taking off pieces of glasses can be time consuming before the models of iPhone 12

Can you repair iPod touches from the ewaste lot next video

Samsung back glass is so easy to repair. I repaired my old son cracked back and it was so easy. Just used a hair drying to hear it up and pulled it off. Put glue in the edges and it was done. So easy

stupid question Hugh how much would you typically charge for a back glass replacement of a samsung galaxy s20+ ? I looks like the back glass being glued on throughout is similar in nature to our dear apple counterpart here..... something i imagine cannot be particularly cheap if not in material cost then certainly in labour.

I’m always waiting for him to say: “and we’re done”

Well done, please get the owner to buy a case for that phone!

Do they make plastic back glass for the phone so you don't have to keep repairing it?

It's better than the painstaking process by prying it, which is not original manufactured adhesives.

Does anyone make plastic back replacements for these phones?

For me, it was the easiest part to remove as my back glass had cracks so big in it that it started falling off the phone.

can you not use plastic instead of glass for the back panel so it don t break easily?

How much does it cost to replace the back of iPhone 12promax

My 11 pro max has 1 big crack on the back. I just put on a cover

Well there is noway im replacing that much glue all on the entire back glass,,i'd do the perimiter and the perimeter of the metal shielding under back glass as this would be sufficient glue for such a repair.

I think my fix would have been, put it in a case and live with it.

Man always change the frame for best quality

Onya Hugh

Personally I’d put glue around the camera lens ring after putting the back on to try and further water proof it. I can see some liquid getting in through there if the phone got soaked

this video gave me ptsd from my old phone

Excellent work reducing e-waste. No point throwing away an otherwise functional device for cosmetic reasons.

Did Apple just send anyone a new phone when send in for repair? I'm very curious how apple repairs the back glass

Hello brother Im from the State of Kuwait I have a broken Samsung Fold 4 And the price of repairing it is close to buying another one so I want to ship it to you for free but I don't know how

Yay

I will NEVER send a single penny to Apple after all I've seen them do to thwart repairs of their products. I only wish more people realized what kind of company Apple is.

I'd have a talk to the 'family member' :-)

prying the glass need some concentration and patience since it feels pretty annoying to do

Using glass on the back of phones is in general a stupid idea. It has no true benefits over other materials, that don't shatter but cause various issues when shattered and when you want to change it. And I have a suspicion, the plan of the makers was to add an easily breakable component to phones, which many people don't bother to get repaired (if they can anyway) and so selling more phones. Afterall we know, that sustainability isn't a priority for most big companies. Profit, it always comes to pure profit. I believe my now 6 years old phone also has a glass back panel, but it never broke because I am always having it in a thick case. And even if it did, I wouldn't care, because it doesn't matter under the case. Visuals are secondary at best, my phone could be beaten to the moon and back, I would not change anything, if it still worked fine and had a usable screen.

Bet that it'll come back again next week lol hahahahah

Hi can I use your service I’m live at Malaysia?

Why is there glass at the back of the phone in the first place lol that's a terrible design what is the purpose???? Im planning on getting a refurbished 13 mini Plz tellme it doesn't have this feature

❤❤❤
