Make use of the suction cup to remove the screen. Look for the battery shield and remove it. This needs to be done before you deal with any other cables or screws. Remove the battery with the help of the plastic pick. Take the cross screwdriver and disconnect the connector shield that is placed above the sim card slot. Remove the four flex cables that are connected to the screen with the plastic pick and lift them with care.
Then you can remove the screen, Home Button plate, screen backing plate screws and the screws at its sides. Hoist the home button cable with the use of a scalpel. Then dislodge the home button and place it into your new screen. When you are removing the home button, the rubber surround must remain intact.
If there is any debris stuck to the home button or the rubber surround, get rid of it. Raise the back plating cable and remove the backing plate. The camera and the speaker section shield that are placed at the top of the old screen needs to be removed along with the components and the whole ribbon set.
Then take out the plastic mount as the replacement screen comes with its own. Fasten the metal backing plate side screws. Establish the ribbon set. Reattach the components, camera, shield and the screen cables. Then fix the screen cable shield by placing the right screws for each hole. Finally put the home screen button. Then power on the phone. As all the cables are fixed at this point, your phone must start normally.

A bigger screen still leaves text hard to read for many middle-aged folks like me. The image below compares the screen sizes; click it to get a full-size version in a new window. The progression of iPhone screen sizes, from left to right: iPhone 4s, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 in Zoomed view, and iPhone 6 in Standard view. Widgets now can live in the Notification Center. The revamped Notification Center has a separate pane, called Today, for widgets. It shows a summary of the current weather and your day's calendar.
To that you can add more widgets; scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Edit to add or remove them. All apps that have widgets — dozens already do, from Evernote to Dropbox — automatically add those widgets to this screen. A lot of widgets are just quick launchers for their apps, but a few are actually useful, such as those for Yahoo Weather and iTranslate. The Notification Center's Today screen is where widgets can be added to or removed from.
Keyboards go crazy. Speaking of widgets, iOS 8 also supports extensions, which lets apps interact directly under iOS's supervision. The Box and Dropbox cloud services now have extensions, so app developers can more easily enable direct file access to their services, for example. But the early extensions are mainly alternative keyboards.
I don't get the obsession some folks have over custom keyboards, but — what the hey — now you can get them. Speaking of keyboards, a change I really dislike in iOS 8 is the new emoji keyboard that's enabled by default. The key appears near the spacebar, where it's easy to tap by accident.
