Touch ID Home Button Migration
Technicians carefully separate the original home button flex under magnification to guarantee Touch ID continuity.
Chassis Corner Reshaping
Dented corners are reshaped with micro-milling cutters so the new replacement glass sits flush without stress.
Laminated Assembly Sealing & QA
The new display is tested across all digitizer coordinates with Apple Pencil and clamped with industrial high-bond seals.
