How to Remove Glue from iPhone Back Glass (Without Losing Your Mind)

How to Remove Glue from iPhone Back Glass (Without Losing Your Mind)

If you’ve ever tried replacing an iPhone back glass, you know the real enemy isn’t the glass itself—it’s that stubborn glue. Heat guns, scrapers, solvents… we’ve all battled them, and let’s be honest, sometimes the phone wins.

Enter automatic laser glue removal machines. Suddenly, what used to take 20–30 minutes of careful prying can be done in 10 minutes. No cracked glass. No fried components. No “oops” moments that make you cringe in front of a customer.

Quick Tips from the Field:

  • Use a proper laser machine: Not all lasers are made equal—precision matters.

  • Ventilation is key: Vaporized glue smells weird for a reason.

  • Practice makes perfect: Don’t test on a client’s iPhone 14 first.

The laser targets only the glue, softening or vaporizing it so the back glass lifts effortlessly. It’s a lifesaver for shops that deal with multiple repairs a day—and saves you the headache of accidental damage.

So, if you’re tired of losing hours (and maybe your patience) on glue removal, upgrade your workflow. Your back glass and your sanity will thank you.
