One of the most complex repairs on an iPhone is a screen replacement repair, before you attempt this repair be sure to have sufficient time to complete the task, and have a clear working space for your iPhone and the replacement screen to sit in while working on them. For a replacement screen repair it is necessary to completely disassemble the iPhone, therefore I would suggest that prior to commencing the repair get a few small pieces of paper in order to label your parts, and I particular the origin of the screws. Label them as follows; Metal Back Screws, aluminum back case, and motherboard – lay them out on the workspace in this order with a small space between them for the other iPhone components and replacement screen to lie in. The tools and equipment required for this repair are; a case opener, a small Phillips screwdriver, a paperclip to eject the SIM tray and the iPhone replacement screen, once you have these to hand and the paper labels lined up. Be sure to have clean hands before starting the repair. Firstly remove the SIM tray – do this by inserting the paper clip in the hole on the topside of the iPhone next to the power button, when the clip is inserted, the SIM tray should eject. Next, use the case opener to remove the plastic back of the iPhone. Lay these two components next to the paper labels, after you have fitted the replacement screen into your iPhone you will need to reverse the order of these instructions to reassemble the iPhone. For this reason, I would suggest placing them furthest from you next to the aluminum paper label. The next step is to remove the two small screws on either side of the back securing the metal casing, and another screw located top, middle of where you removed the plastic back – placing these on the paper label. Once you have completed this, take the case opener again and carefully run it along both sides of the iPhone to loosen the back away from the frame – you will notice the metal back is secured by a wire ribbon, carefully detach this from the main section of the Iphone, not the metal back end. The next step in the screen replacement repair needs caution – it is required to remove the iPhone antenna cable, secured by glue in three positions, carefully pry it loose of the glue spots. After this, you will need to remove 10 screws from around the sides of the iPhone, and place them on the paper label ‘Outside Case’ – after this remove the 3 screws securing the motherboard. You need to remove the motherboard at the same time as the battery as they are soldered together, once you have done this you can carefully detach the remaining iPhone frame. The next step is to remove the LCD screen in order to fit the replacement screen – this is possibly the most difficult part of the repair and needs to be done with extreme caution. Loosen the 3 clips on the sides of the screen and slowly begin removing the LCD, you will see some wires are intertwined into the Iphone – carefully guide them through the frame and, they will slide right through. Once you have completed this, take the iPhone screen replacement and insert it into the phone, carefully trace your steps to ensure that no errors are made when assembling the iPhone back to its original state.

The selection procedure may be quite confusing, with countless iPhone accessories available on the market today.

Make sure that the iPhone case you’re checking out is easy to use and can shield your device from drops, dust, dirt, and scratches. iPhone Headsets – With a brand new iPhone comes the need to be able to answer calls and listen to your favorite songs without having to constantly take your device out. That is why it’s important to choose a suitable headset that does those roles effortlessly. A great choice is a Bluetooth headset, as it allows you to receive calls hands-free—especially crucial when you’re driving. With its high quality sound, you can as well enjoy listening to your music collection to your heart’s content.

You might want to look into something that is multi-functional, meaning it does not only energize your phone, but also able to perform other things. There are lots of iPhone chargers out there that juice up your device; synchronize data and media files and alert you when it’s fully recharged. If you’re a fan of multitasking, then choose a charger that does a lot of job simultaneously.

One of the most popular iPhone accessories, and owned by nearly all iPhone owners is a set of iPhone headphones. Until recently many third party headphone jacks were unsuitable for the iPhone, however this is now changing and is therefore leaving the iPhone owners a wider selection of headphones to choose from for their iPhone. Depending on your personal choice, and reason for connecting your iPhone with headphones it will vary as to the best choice for you, but the main things to look for when selecting a set of iPhone headphones stars with, as already mentioned, ensuring they are compatible with your iPhone – especially the jack connection, but then another factor to look at is the ability to switch between calls with the headphones. Some models require an additional adapter for this at an extra expense of around $50. The next things to consider with your purchase of iPhone headphones would be looking to see if they have a built in microphone if you wish to use them for making and receiving calls and not just media purposes, also, the sound quality is something to consider. The bundle pack iPhone headphones aren´t terrible with their quality however they aren´t the greatest at blocking ambient sound so if you are going to purchase an additional set of headphones you need to be sure that you cater for this criteria. And then it comes down to personal choice as to which style of headphones you wish to use with your iPhone, whether you prefer over the ear or in the ear headphones. I personally find that although the over the ear style can in some cases be a little uncomfortable they are better for blocking the ambient sound, and in many cases provide a better sound quality with a better spread of bass. Once you have purchased your iPhone headphones, which can be done from an online iPhone store you will need to keep up with the maintenance of them – this is especially the case with in the ear styles, as it is a common issue to have the need to replace the ear buds, this can also be done for the users comfort. With the behind the ear, or over the ear styles it is common for the plastic frame to become bent or snapped, and most iPhone accessory stores will stock replacements for this instance. This review was provided courtesy of iPhone Parts Pro – the online iPhone store stocking a wide variety of iPhone accessories, spares and replacement parts as well as offering an in-depth resource of tips, advice and information for all iPhone owners.

ColorSplash is an iPhone app developed by Hendrik Kueck that allows you to quickly and easily select and edit the color in your photographs. Available since June 16, 2009, ColorSplash has become a tremendously popular app. Users are thrilled with the product, particularly the ease of use, functional interface and the quality of results. ColorSplash performs color desaturation, allowing users to convert photographs to black and white while selecting certain areas to remain colored. This process can be done quickly and easily using the touch screen interface. Users can select to turn the whole photo black and white and then ‘paint’ with their finger to color in specific areas. The use of the application takes only a few minutes to learn and little more time to master. A free video tutorial is included with the app to help beginners with the basics. The ColorSplash app can quickly give photos a dramatic and appealing look. Even with iPhone’s simple and sometimes unimpressive camera, ColorSplash can work wonders. Basic and run-of-the-mill photographs can be given a second life and generate much more interest with the use of the app. Users find that the app encourages them to look for an excuse to use it, and that they take much more photos than they normally would for the opportunity to use it. The latest release, version 1. 3, has been available since June 16, 2009 and has sold over 12,000 downloads. App users have overwhelmingly approved of it and those that have downloaded it have highly ranked it. Out of the 4,758 ratings for the current version, the average is 3. 5 out of 5 stars. ColorSplash has received a wealth of positive reviews on the app store. Buyers are impressed that such an inexpensive and easy-to-use app can do so much. Before the app came out people would have to have a working knowledge of Photoshop to achieve the same desaturation effects. ColorSplash is much easier to use and far more affordable than Photoshop or other photo editing software. The majority of reviews posted on the app store and elsewhere online express a very positive view of ColorSplash and reviewers are consistently impressed with how effective it is and how easy it is to use.
