Your iPhone XR will not be 100% waterproof after it is torn down. We suggest you go to the Apple authorized service center if you are not confident about yourself. Besides, there are so many small parts and types of screws contained, you’d better make catalogs on them and do not mess up. You may also go to our online store to look for the new iPhone XR replacement parts you need. Any questions about the process above, please leave your comments so that we could help.
