Before we get started, I highly recommend NOT attempting this project in any way, shape,

Apple has made this repair impossible on purpose.

I did find a few methods that work for removing the back glass on an iPhone 8 and an 8 Plus,

but the risks involved are extraordinary and your phone might very well end up looking

worse after the repair than it did before you started.

Now that we have that out of the way, I am going to attempt this repair while leaving

There are a few videos online of people using extreme heat to remove the broken glass on

The heat is so extreme, I figured it might be safer to move to the other end of the thermometer

and see how cold we can get the adhesive before it gets brittle and loses its effectiveness

Putting your phone in a conventional freezer for a few hours will not work since a standard

freezer is about zero degrees Fahrenheit or negative 18 degrees Celsius And the epoxy

holding the glass to the metal inside of the iPhone is still effective at that temperature.

If you are considering doing this yourself, first of all, you're crazy, and second, make

sure you watch this video all the way through.

My first attempt is with the refrigerant I got off of Amazon.

It brings the temperature down to about negative 60 degrees Fahrenheit Tetrafluoroethane is

the chemical used inside of this spray, and it can displace oxygen, meaning that if use

it in an area that's not well ventilated, you might suffocate and die.

The can was inexpensive and seems to be working for the most part.

You can see the frost start to accumulate over top of the glass as the temperature drops.

The lower the temperature, the less holding ability the adhesive has under the glass.

Remember, right now we're working at about negative 60 degrees Fahrenheit Safety glasses

are pretty mandatory since glass is basically going everywhere, so that negative 60 is working,

but it's still taking longer than I would like.

After about 10 minutes I've only cleared 20% of the glass.

Hit that subscribe button if you haven't already and let's take this repair to the next level

with a safety liquid that's much much colder.

Liquid nitrogen is involved in our next attempt at removing the glass in the back of an iPhone,

but don't freak out because it's actually not that hard to get a hold of.

Luckily I'm pretty good friends with the King of Random over here, and he has a good supply.

But Grant, tell us where people can get liquid nitrogen on their own if they need some.

[Grant] If you guys want to get some liquid nitrogen, it's actually super easy to get.

It would be a lot closer than you think if you get on Google or Yellow Pages if anybody

Look for a welding and gas supply company.

The only qualifier is you're going to need some safe way to transport.

So you're going to need something like a Dewar, spelled D-E-W-A-R.

It's basically a glorified insulated thermos made for liquid nitrogen.

So if you have one of those, no permits are required and it costs you about $5 per liter.

If you go in there with something like a thermos, you can pick up one of these for maybe $10

Depending on the person you talk to, they may let you take some liquid nitrogen.

[Zack] There's no guarantee this is going to work, but huge thanks to the King of Random

[Zack] Alright, so now the phone is able to sit inside of the liquid nitrogen and hopefully

We want that back panel and the metal to be about the same.

Hopefully that's the epoxy or the adhesive underneath the glass and the metal.

[Zack] Alright, just getting it back to temperature again.

Keep in mind that there is clear adhesive on the front of the phone holding the front

glass to the LCD, which is also affected by liquid nitrogen.

I'm making sure to only allow the back of the phone to dip into the liquid so the screen

As the liquid nitrogen evaporates into just regular nitrogen, it's a dielectric gas, meaning

it won't affect the internals of the phone.

The extreme cold, on the other hand, might.

Liquid nitrogen is negative 321 degrees Fahrenheit So keeping the liquid off the internal circuits

There are specific cryogenic machines that circulate liquid nitrogen under a metal plate

So if you have a repair shop and are doing this on a regular basis, you might want to

It's a little more controllable than the pure liquid.

It took about 7 minutes to remove all the glass from the iPhone using this liquid nitrogen.

The camera frame is welded to the metal frame of the iPhone and it might be possible to

preserve this, but since my lens was already cracked from a previous drop test, I'll just

Replacement lenses are pretty inexpensive on Amazon.

I am removing the camera lens last because glass dust can get inside the optical image

stabilization mechanism and cause the focus to stop working.

Like I mentioned before, there is quite a bit that can go wrong during this operation.

Luckily the phone still works and turns on.

The lithium battery does need to get back to room temperature before it will behave

So we were successful in removing the back glass panel.

You know, I almost feel like you should just take some epoxy and make see-through epoxy

and just keep the phone that way cuz that's a pretty intense look.

I'm actually really surprised that it turned back on.

I mean liquid nitrogen I wasn't so worried about, I was just worried about the condition
