If your iPhone 14 Pro screen is cracked, not responding to touch, or not showing a picture when your phone is powered on, use this guide to restore your iPhone to working order with a new screen, a.k.a. display assembly.
This guide was created using the A2890 (international) model. If you're fixing a different iPhone 14 Pro model, there may be some visual discrepancies, but the procedure should be the same.
For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your device. This reduces the risk of fire if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, [[What to do with a swollen battery|take appropriate precautions|new_window=true]].
Note: On iOS 17.6 and earlier, True Tone and auto brightness functionality is disabled after a screen replacement, even when using an original Apple screen. Face ID is also disabled, unless the iPhone is running iOS 15.2 or newer. On the latest iOS version, you can calibrate your new screen using Apple's [link|https://support.apple.com/en-us/120579|Repair Assistant|new_window=true] to restore True Tone functionality. This may happen automatically.
You’ll need replacement adhesive to safely secure the screen when reassembling your iPhone. Retaining water resistance after the repair will depend on how well you reapply the screen adhesive, but note that your device will lose its official IP ([link|https://www.iec.ch/ip-ratings#:~:text=Electric%20and%20electronic%20equipment%20deteriorate,are%20widely%20used%20throughout%20industry.|Ingress Protection|new_window=true]) rating.

Update your device, navigate to Settings → General ***→***About → Parts & Service History, tap Restart & Finish Repair, and follow the onscreen prompts.
