The good - it worked and my visual-contrast sensitive self can’t tell the difference from the OEM. So it’s a functional option.<br /><br />The bad - this was my first screen replacement. It is daunting. The icracked video on YouTube was the most helpful (I may have watched all of the 6-Plus replacement vids). If you aren’t at least moderately experienced with gadget assembly and futzing, probably worth paying someone $100 or so to do it for you.<br /><br />If you proceed, here’s what sucks about this product. The tri-wing driver IS garbage. I read this in the reviews before buying but I was raised by an electrical engineer and figured these were novices who didn’t have the finesse or small motor skills to work the driver right. Nope. I got to the home button (about 10 screws into disassembly) and the driver stripped out. I ordered a better driver set on amazon ($12 or thereabouts) and proceeded with those. Thus, this project ended up taking several days. I also bought a magnetic tack project mat (also on amazon, $12) which I would strongly recommend for keeping your TEENY TINY screws organized for reasssembly. Also suggest you take pics at every stage of disassembly because you may not recallhow they came apart. Especially if you’re waiting days for your new tri-wing driver to complete the job.<br /><br />Also there is a proximity sensors filter that is a tiny white square of plastic/fabric inside the old screen. This is not included with the new screen. It is not entirely clear how to remove and transfer the filter to the new screen. In all the videos, the new screen already had that installed. I ended up breaking the old screen into tiny piece to get it out. Probably an exacto blade would get it. But you may want to buy a screen that already has this and forego the extra futzing.<br /><br />I dropped one star for each of those issues. But the phone reassembled looked brand new and everything worked as it should. So it’s a viable option. Probably just not the best option. Good luck!
