*Description*
In this HowFixit guide, we teardown Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro Max to reveal what’s new inside, how to open it safely, and how repairable it is. We heat the display, release the top hinges, disconnect the screen, and remove the main thermal plate/heatsink to expose the redesigned chassis and vapor-chamber cooling.
Tools used: Pentalobe 0.8 mm, Tri-Wing 0.8 mm, Phillips 1 mm, T4 Torx, Standoff 1.5 mm, plastic pry tools, tweezers, suction cup, and a screen disassembly tool.
Chapters below for quick navigation. Links to tools/parts and our iPhone 17 / 17 Pro / 17 Air teardowns are in the description. Like & subscribe for more DIY repairs!
